Mini centrifuges

Mini centrifuges are compact laboratory devices for briefly spinning down small sample volumes in tubes, strips, PCR plates, or on microarray slides. This category includes the subcategories Mini Centrifuges for Tubes and Mini Centrifuges for Plates with different rotor configurations. The available models differ in speed range, rotor type, and vessel compatibility.

Mini Centrifuges at a Glance

Applications

Mini centrifuges are used to briefly spin down liquids in small vessels, for example before opening reaction tubes or to collect condensate. Models in this category are designed for tubes, strip tubes, PCR plates, and microarray slides, depending on the rotor used.

Rotors and Vessel Formats

Different rotor configurations are available within the category: 8-place rotors for 1.5/2.0 ml tubes combined with 4-place strip rotors, a rotor for two PCR plates, and a rotor for two microarray slides. The choice of rotor depends on the vessel format used.

Speeds and Centrifugal Force

The available mini centrifuges cover speeds from 0 to 6,000 rpm. Some models reach up to 2,000 x g, while others, such as the variant designed for PCR plates, operate at 500 x g. One model features a continuously adjustable speed range.

Subcategories

The category is divided into Mini Centrifuges for Tubes, equipped with rotors for tubes and strips, and Mini Centrifuges for Plates with rotors for PCR plates or microarray slides.

What rotor types are available for mini centrifuges?

This category offers 8-place rotors for 1.5/2.0 ml tubes combined with 4-place strip rotors, a rotor for two PCR plates, and a rotor for two microarray slides.

What speeds do the mini centrifuges in this category reach?

Depending on the model, speeds range from 2,500 rpm to 6,000 rpm. One model offers a continuously adjustable range from 0 to 6,000 rpm.

What vessels are the mini centrifuges designed for?

Depending on the rotor configuration, the devices are suitable for 1.5/2.0 ml tubes, strip tubes, PCR plates, or microarray slides.

What is the difference between Mini Centrifuges for Tubes and Mini Centrifuges for Plates?

Mini Centrifuges for Tubes are equipped with rotors for tubes and strips, while Mini Centrifuges for Plates feature rotors for PCR plates or microarray slides.

What maximum relative centrifugal force is achieved?

Several models with an 8-place rotor reach up to 2,000 x g at a maximum of 6,000 rpm. One model for PCR plates operates at up to 500 x g.

Is there a model with adjustable speed?

The Frontier™ 5000 Mini Centrifuge FC5306 features a speed range of 0 to 6,000 rpm.

What lid colors are available for the Mini Micro Centrifuges?

The Mini Micro Centrifuges with 8-place rotor are available with blue, gray, purple, or red lids.
