Centrifuges Microliter Centrifuges, Cooled
Refrigerated microliter centrifuges are laboratory devices used for centrifuging small sample volumes under controlled temperature conditions. They are used wherever temperature-sensitive samples such as nucleic acids, proteins, or cell components need to be protected from heating during the centrifugation process. This equipment class is used in molecular biology, biochemistry, and clinical laboratories.

Refrigerated Microliter Centrifuges for Sensitive Laboratory Samples
Application Area of Refrigerated Microliter Centrifuges
Refrigerated microliter centrifuges are used when samples need to be protected from thermal stress during centrifugation. This particularly applies to temperature-sensitive substances that could lose quality at room temperature or due to frictional heat in the rotor. Typical fields of application are found in molecular biology, biochemistry, and clinical diagnostics.
Operating Principle and Design
These centrifuges combine a cooling unit with a rotor for small sample vessels, usually in the microliter range. The cooling function keeps the internal temperature at a defined level during the centrifugation process. Further information on related cooling systems can be found in the Cooling Technology section.
Selection in Everyday Laboratory Use
When selecting a refrigerated microliter centrifuge, factors such as sample volume, desired temperature range, and number of rotors play a role. Since the specific equipment varies depending on the model, it is advisable to review the technical data of the respective device to check its suitability for the intended application.
What is a refrigerated microliter centrifuge needed for?
It is used to centrifuge small sample volumes at a controlled temperature, thereby protecting temperature-sensitive samples during the separation process.
Which samples are typically processed in such centrifuges?
These are often molecular biology or biochemical samples, such as nucleic acids or proteins, which can be sensitive to temperature fluctuations.
What distinguishes a refrigerated from a non-refrigerated microliter centrifuge?
The main difference lies in the additional cooling function, which serves to keep the sample temperature stable during centrifugation.
In which laboratory areas are refrigerated microliter centrifuges used?
They are used, among other things, in molecular biology, biochemical, and clinical laboratories where temperature-sensitive sample processing is required.
What should be considered when selecting a device?
Relevant criteria include the required sample volume, the necessary temperature range, and the rotor capacities available for the respective model.
Are all models in this category equipped with the same rotors?
No, the rotor equipment can vary depending on the model. Exact information on rotors and capacities can be found in the technical data of the respective product.
Where can further information on cooling technology in the laboratory be found?
Additional information on related cooling solutions is summarized in the Cooling Technology section.
