A Mini Centrifuge, which eliminates the need to change rotors
when switching between microtubes and PCR strips and provides twice the
capacity of traditional mini centrifuges, has been introduced by CLEAVER
SCIENTIFIC (CSL). The multifuge features an innovative duoROTOR design that
enables the simultaneous spinning of 12 microtubes and 4 PCR strips which
effectively doubles its capacity compared to most conventional mini
centrifuges.
With near silent operation and a fixed speed that produces
2,000x g, the centrifuge is ideal for quick spin-downs. Simply close the lid
and the unit quickly ramps up to 5500 rpm; open the lid and the rotor quickly
decelerates to enable removal of samples.
The multifuge can accommodate smaller 0.5 and 0.6ml tubes and
can also be used with low-cost optional adapters. At just 14cm wide x 11cm high
and weighing 1.1kg, the ultra-compact multifuge is a truly personal sized
centrifuge that will fit within on the smallest benchtop space, yet provides
unmatched capacity and flexibility.
