Product Name:

Heraeus™ Fresco™ 21 Microcentrifuge

Catalog Number:

75002555

Definitely one of the top choices of microcentrifuge for daily use. It can accelerate to maximum speed (21,100 g) in about 10 seconds. Setting speed, time, and temperature is very easy. Cooling to 4 degree is relatively fast. Moreover, this centrifuge with cooling system is compact compared to the old-fashioned model.

Summary

The Good

Easy to use, reliable, quiet

The Bad

A little more expensive

The Bottom Line

Compared to many old models I used before, I think this is a really good choice for a temperature-controlled tabletop centrifuge. However, it is a little pricy. If you want to save money, to have a regular centrifuge in the cold room is another choice.
