Personal sized mini-centrifuges with a maximum speed of 6000 RPM are now available to spin microtubes or PCR strip tubes. The standard Model Minifuge accommodates 6 x 1.5-2.0mL tubes and microcentrifuge filter units directly. Adapters are supplied for spinning 0.5mL and 0.4mL tubes. This unit is ideal for quick spin downs, microfiltrations and cell separations. The new Minifuge S has a rotor that holds two 8 x 0.2mL PCR strip tubes or 16 individual 0.2mL tubes. It can be used to spin samples down from the walls or caps of tubes and other applications requiring low g-force. Operating the Minifuge is extremely simple, just close the clear lid to start and open to stop. Both units require just 5"x5" of benchspace, making them ideal for use in places where space is at a premium.
