The Master Science High-Speed Microcentrifuge spins tubes at up to 15,000 rpm, generating 21,380 ×g for fast pelleting of DNA, RNA, proteins and cell debris. Speed is set in 100 rpm steps from 200 rpm, or entered directly as RCF, and a short-spin key handles quick pulse runs.
Five rotor options take 0.2, 0.5, 1.5, 2 and 5 mL tubes as well as PCR 8-strips. Rotors are high-strength aluminium, triple-sealed against aerosols and autoclavable at 121°C. A brushless DC motor reaches full speed in about 25 seconds, nine acceleration and braking levels give gentle or fast runs, and nine programs can be stored for routine methods.

Lab Problems the Master Science High-Speed Microcentrifuge Solves
Basic mini centrifuges lack speed and safety for molecular work. The Master Science High-Speed Microcentrifuge addresses:
- Incomplete pelleting: 21,380 ×g compacts small pellets reliably.
- Aerosol exposure: Triple-sealed rotors keep samples contained.
- Unbalanced runs: Imbalance detection warns before damage.
- Repetitive manual settings: Nine stored programs speed up routine work.
