General description

Benchmark′s MC-12 High Speed Microcentrifuge is the first and only personal centrifuge capable of speeds up to 16,000 xg (15,500 rpm); meaning it is the most affordable and compact option available that meets standard molecular biology and DNA protocols. Includes: 12 x 1.5/2.0mL rotor.

Features and Benefits

  • Short deceleration time
  • Silent operation
  • A brushless and maintenance-free drive system allows each workstation to be fully equipped with a personal centrifuge.
  • Computer-designed airflow pattern that lowers sample temperature increase
  • Single, conveniently located control knob for operating all parameters
  • Large and bright LCD for a clear indication of time and rpm or g-force.
  • The momentary spin button facilitates instant spin downs, without disrupting the preset parameters.
  • Aircraft-grade aluminum rotor takes in 1.5 to 2.0 ml tubes directly, and 0.5 ml and 0.2 ml tubes with optional adapters.
