Essential Features of Our Benchtop Centrifuges
- Small benchtop centrifuges maximize productivity with fast acceleration and deceleration rates, offering flexibility with a choice of pulse, timed, or continuous runs. Some models feature a large bright display with the simple push-button key entry and automatic lid release at run completion.
- These desktop centrifuges deliver performance, quality, and durability, incorporating increased safety measurements, offering models for multiple applications, wide rotor selection, and providing increased speed and capacity for optimal results.
Applications of Our Benchtop Centrifuges
- The Allegra V-15R centrifuge is a compact benchtop centrifuge that brings versatility and performance to your bench. This refrigerated 3 L centrifuge is a workhorse with the ability to spin plates and tubes, making it ideally suited for a broad spectrum of applications. The Avanti J-15 and J-15R tabletop non-refrigerated and refrigerated centrifuges offer versatility for various applications, including cell culturing, "spinfection" for improved transduction, nucleic acid purification, protein concentration, and assay setup.
- The Allegra X-30 centrifuge is used in applications such as cell culture processing, blood sample preparation, and microplate applications.
- Microcentrifuge models 20, 20R, and 16 are suitable for nucleic acid and protein preparation, phase separations, receptor binding, and rapid sedimentation of protein precipitates, particulates, and cell debris.
- Allegra 64R benchtop centrifuge is typically used in standard laboratory applications such as subcellular fractionation, protein isolation and purification, virus and phage extractions.
FAQs
Using our benchtop centrifuges in your laboratory offers the benefit of temperature control, which ensures optimal conditions for temperature-sensitive samples. Our benchtop centrifuges also offer a wide range of speeds, rotors, and labware, providing efficient and versatile centrifugation for a variety of applications.
Both are designed with compact footprints that don’t require a lot of space on your bench. A benchtop or tabletop microcentrifuge is designed for smaller volumes and rapid spin-downs of tubes, while a benchtop centrifuge, provides a larger capacity and is suitable for a wide range of applications, including high-throughput processing and larger-volume samples.
Speeds can vary depending on the model and specifications. They typically range from 200 RPM for low-speed microcentrifuges up to 30,000 RPM for larger models.
When choosing a benchtop centrifuge, consider factors such as:
- Capacity
- Maximum speed
- Rotor compatibility
- Ease of use
- Noise level
- Programmability
- Safety features
- Temperature control (if required)
Opt for a temperature-controlled centrifuge that maintains consistent and desired temperature conditions for sensitive samples.
They all offer fast and efficient centrifugation, although specific features vary by model. Some of the most important features include:
- High maximum speeds to rapidly separate samples.
- User-friendly interfaces and programmable options for customization of centrifugation protocols to meet specific requirements.
- Refrigeration to maintain low temperatures during centrifugation to help preserve temperature-sensitive samples.
Our microcentrifuges are specifically designed for smaller volume applications, such as quick spin-downs of microtubes or PCR tubes.
