Refrigerated Centrifuge
Product Code : EL-LC-10979
Last updated: 6 October 2026
Quick answer: A refrigerated microcentrifuge with a 44-place dual-row rotor for 1.5 and 2.0 mL tubes, reaching 15,000 rpm and 21,379 g, holding -20 to 40 degrees C and reaching 4 degrees C from room temperature in under 10 minutes.
Refrigeration is what this instrument is for, and the figure that matters is the pull-down time: 4 degrees C from room temperature in less than 10 minutes, with a compressor-driven system that maintains temperatures as low as -20 degrees C. For enzyme work and for any protocol where a sample degrades at room temperature, a centrifuge that holds 4 degrees C through the spin is not a convenience but a requirement.
The 44-place dual-row rotor is unusually large for a microcentrifuge and is the other reason to choose this unit: it takes 1.5 and 2.0 mL tubes, so a full class set of samples can be spun in one run rather than three. Maximum speed is 15,000 rpm and maximum g-force 21,379 g, the highest in this family.
Control is by microprocessor, with speed set and displayed in either rpm or rcf, saved programs, adjustable acceleration and deceleration rates, and a selectable end-of-run alarm tone. Being able to display rcf directly removes the rotor-radius calculation that is the commonest source of error when following a published protocol.
Optional rotors, not included, extend it to PCR strips, haematocrit tubes and 5.0 mL centrifuge tubes. At 35 kg and 55 cm deep it needs dedicated bench space.

This listing publishes a full specification. Confirm the supply voltage before ordering: the electrical specification published 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 are not included, and the refrigerant type and ambient temperature limit for rated cooling are not stated.
