Centrifuge, High Speed
Product Code : EL-C-10693
Quick answer: The high speed micro centrifuge spins small tubes at 200 to 15,000 rpm, up to 21,380 x g, for specimen preparation in molecular and cellular biology: pelleting cells and DNA, sedimenting sub-cellular fractions and quick spin-downs. It has a brushless DC motor, 30 s to 99 min timer or HOLD, pulse spin and an autoclavable 24 x 1.5/2.0 mL aluminium rotor. Lab Exports manufactures it in Delhi for research and college laboratories.

How it is used
Micro-centrifuges handle the 0.2 to 2 mL tubes used in molecular biology, where samples are small and need high force. Setting the run by RCF rather than rpm makes a method repeatable on any rotor, because RCF = 1.118 x 10^-5 x r x rpm^2, with r the rotor radius in cm. This model can be set in 10 rpm or 10 x g steps up to 15,000 rpm or 21,380 x g.
Typical uses are pelleting bacteria and cultured cells, precipitating and washing DNA and RNA, spin-column clean-ups, and separating sub-cellular organelles or viruses in research work. The short-spin pulse key brings a tube quickly to speed to collect droplets from the lid and walls before a reaction is set up.
- Load tubes in balanced, opposite positions in the rotor; use adapters for 0.5 or 0.2 mL tubes.
- Close the lid; the interlock prevents running with the lid open.
- Set speed or RCF and run time, or choose HOLD for continuous running.
- Start the run, or press short spin for a quick pulse.
- When the rotor stops the lid releases automatically; remove the tubes.
Key features
- Brushless DC motor with speed accuracy of ± 20 rpm.
- Anti-sample-overflow rotor design helps prevent tube leaks and contamination.
- Four rotor options, with adapters for 0.5 and 0.2 mL tubes.
- Multi-flow air cooling keeps rotor temperature low, with a temperature display.
- Automatic lid release after the rotor stops, with dual interlocking safety.
- Cast casing for stability and reduced noise.
