As an immunology lab, we routinely need to spin 1.5 mL tubes for pelleting cells. This tabletop centrifuge is a great piece of equipment to help with this process. We also use this equipment to help with procedures that require spinning in the cold since we have a microcentrifuge in the 4°C cold room. We have three centrifuges in the lab with one lasting for 10 years (the cold version).
