Mini Microcentrifuge 5000 rpm, 1360 xg Spin-Down Centrifuge for 2 mL Tubes and PCR Strips

The Master Science Mini Microcentrifuge 5000 rpm is a small spin-down centrifuge for daily bench tasks such as microfiltration and quick collection of liquid in microtubes. It reaches 1360 xg and starts turning as soon as the lid is closed.

The rotor locks in place with a clamp design and can be exchanged without tools. Two rotors are available: one for 8 tubes of 2.0, 1.5, 0.5 or 0.2 mL, and one for 32 x 0.2 mL PCR strip tubes.

Key Benefits

• No programming: Closing the lid starts the run, which keeps short spins quick.
• Secure rotor: Clamp locking holds the rotor firmly during operation.
• Quiet operation: Noise stays at 45 dB or less.
• Two formats: Change between the 8-tube rotor and the PCR strip rotor without tools.

Common Laboratory Problems and How the Mini Microcentrifuge 5000 rpm Helps

Everyday issues this unit is made for:

• Liquid left on caps and walls: A short spin brings it to the tube bottom.
• Large centrifuge too slow for quick spins: A small unit beside the pipetting area saves time.
• Rotor changes need tools: The clamp-lock rotor swaps by hand.
• Noise around the bench: The 45 dB rating keeps the area quiet.
