The Master Science Low-Speed Refrigerated Centrifuge is built for laboratories that need to spin large sample volumes while keeping them cold. It reaches 6000 rpm and 4390 xg, holds up to 4 x 750 mL, and controls chamber temperature from -20 to +40°C with an accuracy of ±1°C.
An AC variable-frequency motor drives the rotor, and a 5-inch touch screen handles setup, so routine separations of blood, cell suspensions and other temperature-sensitive samples stay simple and repeatable.

Key Benefits
- Cold separation: Chamber temperature can be held between -20 and +40°C, which protects proteins, cells and other heat-sensitive material during the run.
- Large batch volume: Up to 4 x 750 mL per run reduces the number of cycles needed for bulk samples.
- Stable speed: Speed accuracy of ±30 rpm gives consistent separation from run to run.
- Fast setup: 15 stored programs let staff recall common methods instead of re-entering them.
If your work involves small tubes at much higher speed, see our High-Speed Microcentrifuge, 15000 rpm as a companion unit to the Low-Speed Refrigerated Centrifuge.

Common Laboratory Problems and How the Low-Speed Refrigerated Centrifuge Helps
Typical issues that this unit is designed to address:
- Samples warming during long spins: Active cooling down to -20°C keeps the chamber cold throughout the cycle.
- Too many runs for large volumes: A 4 x 750 mL capacity handles bulk volumes in fewer runs.
- Inconsistent results between operators: Stored programs and ±30 rpm speed accuracy keep runs repeatable.
- Risk from unbalanced loads: Imbalance, overspeed and door protection help prevent unsafe operation.
