Ambient Temperature Microcentrifuges

A microcentrifuge, also called a microfuge, is used to spin small (2 ml or less) liquid samples at high speeds (generally tens of thousands times g-force). Centrifugation of small samples is important for many biological applications, such as pelleting nucleic acids or proteins from solution, microfiltration of small aqueous samples or simply to gather those last precious drops of liquid into the bottom of the tube. Choice of microcentrifuge will depend on the maximum number of sample tubes needed in one run, and the size of the sample tubes.Many manufacturers offer different rotors or rotor adaptors that can be switched out to accommodate different types or sizes of tubes. Also consider safety features, ergonomic adaptions and ease of use.
