Benchtop Micro Centrifuge
Product Code : EL-LC-10975
Last updated: 6 October 2026
Quick answer: A benchtop microcentrifuge running 200 to 13,500 rpm with a maximum relative centrifugal force of 17,317 g, holding 24 x 1.5/2.0 mL microtubes, with 10 acceleration and deceleration settings and memory for 99 parameter presets.
This is a fully specified instrument rather than a classroom spinner, and the published figures let it be compared properly. The speed range is 200 to 13,500 rpm with a maximum relative centrifugal force of 17,317 g, which covers DNA and RNA preparation, ultrafiltration and the general run of molecular biology pelleting.
Rotor options are what give it reach. The standard angle rotor takes 24 x 1.5/2.0 mL tubes; a sealable version of the same rotor is available, as is a haematocrit rotor for 24 capillaries and an angle rotor for 18 x 2 mL spin columns. The listing also notes optional biocontainment rotors for work involving hazardous samples, which is the relevant option if the unit will handle anything requiring containment.
Control and handling are well covered: 10 acceleration and 10 deceleration gears, memory for up to 99 parameter presets, a backlit LCD, a mechanical lid lock, and a timer offering quick spin, 10 seconds to 99 hours 59 minutes 59 seconds, or continuous running. The brushless motor removes brush replacement from the maintenance schedule. Noise is published at 60 +/- 2 dB(A) or less, which is quiet enough to sit in a teaching room.
Note that rotor recognition is manual rather than automatic, so the operator must select the correct rotor in the interface. Setting the wrong rotor means the displayed g-force is wrong, which matters for any protocol specified in g rather than rpm.

This listing publishes a full specification. Confirm the supply voltage before ordering. The electrical specification published for this unit is a 120 V nominal supply, which is not the Indian mains standard; ask whether a 220 to 240 V, 50 Hz version is available for your destination. Optional rotors and biocontainment rotors are not included in the base unit; specify the rotors you need in the enquiry.
