High Speed Refrigerated Centrifuge - Cooled Microcentrifuge - 18800 rpm - -20 to 40°C

The Master Science Refrigerated Microcentrifuge spins small tubes at up to 18800 rpm and 26870 ×g while holding the chamber between -20 and 40 °C. It is built for samples that must stay cold, in micro tubes, PCR strips, capillaries and tubes up to 10 mL.

Pre-cooling works in standby, and the chamber drops from 21 °C to 4 °C in five minutes or less. The magnetic rotor is identified automatically, which prevents running a rotor above its rated speed.

Key Benefits

• Protects sensitive samples: the Master Science Refrigerated Microcentrifuge keeps tubes cold during the run.
• Ready when you are: pre-cooling in standby, 4 °C in 5 minutes.
• Saves energy: compressor goes to standby at set temperature.
• Biosafe rotors: sealed and autoclavable.
• No rotor mistakes: automatic recognition with over-speed protection.

Common Laboratory Problems and How This Centrifuge Helps

How the Master Science Refrigerated Microcentrifuge protects samples:

• Samples warming during long spins: active refrigeration to -20 °C.
• Waiting for the chamber to cool: pre-cooling and fast cool-down.
• Water pooling in the bowl: condensate drain hole.
• Aerosols from leaking tubes: sealed rotors.
