Palm Micro Centrifuge 7000 rpm, 2680 xg Mini Spin-Down Centrifuge for PCR Strips and Tubes

The Master Science Palm Micro Centrifuge is a compact spin-down unit for quick work at the bench. It runs up to 7000 rpm and 2680 xg, and it starts as soon as the lid is closed, so collecting droplets from tube walls or pulling liquid down after mixing takes only a few seconds.

Two plastic rotors cover the usual small formats: 8 tubes of 2.0, 1.5, 0.5 or 0.2 mL, or up to 32 x 0.2 mL PCR strip tubes. Its footprint is just 160 x 170 mm and it runs at 45 dB or less.

Key Benefits

• One-step operation: There is nothing to program: closing the lid starts the rotor.
• Fast spin-down: Acceleration and braking take only seconds, which suits repeated short spins.
• Quiet bench use: A noise level of 45 dB or less keeps the work area calm.
• Flexible formats: Swap between the tube rotor and the PCR strip rotor without tools.

When you need higher force for pelleting, the High-Speed Microcentrifuge, 15000 rpm pairs well with the Palm Micro Centrifuge.

Common Laboratory Problems and How the Palm Micro Centrifuge Helps

Small tasks that this unit handles well:

• Droplets stuck on tube walls and caps: A few seconds at up to 7000 rpm brings liquid to the bottom.
• Waiting for a shared large centrifuge: A personal palm-size unit sits right next to the pipetting area.
• Swapping tube sizes takes time: Tool-free rotor change switches between tubes and PCR strips quickly.
• Noise in shared lab space: Running at 45 dB or less keeps disturbance low.
