Powerful result at the micro level
Microliter Centrifuges
Variety of models support a wide range of tube sizes and capacities – accessories support micro tubes, spin column kits, PCR strips, 15/50 ml conical, pediatric tubes and more. Range of models accommodates microliter tube capacity from 12 to 60 (1.5/2.0 ml). Bio-containment and phenol-resistant lids for safe centrifugation of hazardous samples are optional. Powerful, maintenance free motors achieve high RCF values for best sample results. Reliable and steady temperature control, quick pre-cool and stand-by cooling functions maintain a constant sample temperature.
For some PCR protocols, filtration is prescribed where filter sleeves are centrifuged in 2-ml test tubes. The sample liquid that passes through the filter during the filtering/centrifuging procedure is collected in the 2-ml test tubes. A common problem frequently encountered is the fact that the caps of the test tubes no longer fit because of the filters, so the test tubes have to remain open during centrifugation. The caps are often tear off in such cases, or alternatively are cut off before centrifugation.
To avoid this and prevent the caps having to be cut off before centrifugation, the angle rotor for spin column kits has been designed so that the caps can be securely positioned in place. The caps neither tear off, nor is it necessary to cut them off.
