Product features and benefits Performance and speed options Three selectable speeds: 4000 rpm, 6000 rpm, 8000 rpm. Choose the speed that matches your protocol for reliable small-volume centrifugation. Benefit: Flexible speed options let you process a range of microtube applications without needing multiple instruments. Timer and run control Timer specification listed as 0–9999 minutes. Original specification also notes “no timing control”; please confirm required mode of operation for your setup. Benefit: The wide timer range (as stated) can support short spins and extended runs when timing is available. Rotor compatibility and capacity Fixed-angle (standard) rotor: accommodates 8 tubes of 0.2 ml, 0.5 ml, 1.5 ml or 2.0 ml. Secondary rotor configuration: accommodates 0.2 ml tubes in a layout described as 8 × 2 (two rows/sets of 8). Benefit: Multiple rotor options let you run different tube sizes and batch formats without swapping equipment, increasing workflow flexibility. Size and footprint Compact dimensions: 160 × 190 × 130 mm. Benefit: Small footprint saves bench space and is suitable for crowded laboratory benches, teaching labs, or point-of-care locations. Why this product solves common problems Space efficiency: compact dimensions make it easy to fit into limited bench space where full-size centrifuges are impractical. Versatility for micro-volume work: supports common microtube sizes (0.2, 0.5, 1.5, 2.0 ml), covering typical molecular biology and clinical microcentrifuge needs. Simple speed selection: three fixed speed settings reduce setup time and lower the chance of operator error when standard RPMs are sufficient. Practical applications / use scenarios PCR prep and post-PCR spin-downs: Rapidly collect droplets from tube caps and pellet reagents prior to pipetting small volumes from PCR tubes (compatible with 0.2 ml tubes). Small-volume sample clarification: Centrifuge small blood, urine, or bacterial culture aliquots in 0.5–2.0 ml tubes for brief clarification or pellet formation. Nucleic acid / protein micropreps: Pellet micro-volumes in 1.5 ml or 2.0 ml tubes for routine extraction workflows in research or teaching labs. Key specifications (as provided) Speeds: 4000 rpm, 6000 rpm, 8000 rpm Timer: No timing control; 0–9999 minutes (specification as listed) Rotor capacity: Standard angle rotor: 0.2 / 0.5 / 1.5 / 2.0 ml × 8 tubes Secondary rotor configuration: 0.2 ml × 8 × 2 Dimensions: 160 × 190 × 130 mm Notes for purchasers Confirm the intended timer functionality (the original specification lists both “no timing control” and a 0–9999 minute range). If precise timing capability is required, verify with the supplier or product documentation before purchase. Check rotor configuration and adapters needed for your specific tube types to ensure immediate compatibility with your workflow.
