Digital Microcentrifuge
Product Code : EL-LC-10980
Last updated: 6 October 2026
Quick answer: A high-speed cool-running microcentrifuge variable from 500 to 13,300 rpm with a 24-place rotor whose individual tube slots contain a sample if a tube fails. It can be operated in a cold room. 120 V AC.
The containment design is the feature to note. The 24-place rotor has individual tube slots that contain samples in case of tube failure, and the listing states the special rotor design contains any spills, eliminating hazards to laboratory personnel. A microtube that splits at 13,000 rpm otherwise sprays its contents around the chamber, which is a real exposure problem with bacterial cultures.
The second distinguishing feature is that it can be operated in a cold room. That is a cheaper route to cold centrifugation than a refrigerated unit: if the laboratory already has a cold room, this gives 4 degree work without a compressor in the instrument. It is described as cool-running, meaning it does not heat the sample through friction, which is not the same as refrigerated.
The speed range is 500 to 13,300 rpm, with an electronic brake and a choice of momentary pulse, continuous speed or 30-minute timer operation. The rotor accepts 1.5 mL tubes directly and other microtubes with adapters. Operation is described as whisper quiet. The named application is pelleting DNA and debris during isolation of bacterial plasmids.
The maximum g-force is not published, which is the main gap: a protocol quoting g rather than rpm cannot be set up from the figures given. Ask for it, and note the 30-minute timer ceiling, which rules out long spins.

The maximum g-force is not published on this listing, so protocols specified in g cannot be set up from these figures alone. Dimensions, weight, noise level in dB and the adapter sizes available are also not stated. Confirm the supply voltage before ordering: the published electrical specification is 120 V AC, which is not the Indian mains standard; ask whether a 220 to 240 V version is available. Note the 30-minute timer ceiling.
