These models can run at noise levels as low as 52 dBA for a minimally disruptive lab environment.

Key product highlights

Quick rotor exchange

Secure, push-button Auto-Lock rotor exchange in as little as three seconds delivers trouble-free rotor installation.

Small footprint with high capacity

Maximized swing-out capacity up to 8 x 50mL conical tubes. Fixed angle flexibility to spin 50mL conical tubes at over 12,000 x g or a wide range of microtubes at speeds up to 30,279 x g.

Protective of user and samples

Biocontainment sealing options, including certified1 ClickSeal lids offer glove-friendly, one-handed operation.

High RCFs, small size

With dimensions as small as 12.2 x 14.6 x 18.9 in. (31 x 37 x 48 cm), our compact benchtop centrifuges can fit into especially tight lab spaces. Consider a floor model configuration, which is adjustable in height, to eliminate the need for benchtop space entirely to enable maximum flexibility and portability.

Bright, large display

The bright, large display on compact benchtop centrifuges is easy to read, even across the lab. The control panel displays instructions on programming, run conditions, alerts, and service messages.
