Compact bench-top microcentrifuge

This new microcentrifuge spins quietly at 16,163 xg (14,800 rpm) for fast pelleting or isolation of DNA, RNA, proteins and viruses. The Microfuge 16 can operate in a coldroom environment, as an alternative to refrigerated microcentrifuges. The system’s 24-place rotor delivers high-throughput capability and accommodates microtubes from 0.2 mL to 2.2 mL in volume. An auto-lock system provides handsfree closure and opening, and ensures that the centrifuge will not start until the unit is closed.

The Microfuge 16 features a large, easy-to-read display with push-button control that facilitates programming. The new instrument incorporates Beckman Coulter’s robust, brushless induction drive and is backed by the company’s service and support programme.
