Refrigerated Microcentrifuge
Product Code : EL-LC-10981
Last updated: 6 October 2026
Quick answer: A compact refrigerated microcentrifuge reaching 4 degrees C in 8 minutes and holding the set temperature at maximum speed, with a 24 x 1.5/2.0 mL autoclavable aluminium rotor, 13,500 rpm and 17,135 g. Noise 56 dB with the compressor running.
Two published figures make this the better choice where cold work is routine. It reaches 4 degrees C in 8 minutes, and it maintains the set temperature at maximum speed, which is the harder test: friction at 13,500 rpm generates heat, and a weaker cooling system drifts upward during a long spin.
The rotor is solid aluminium, designed for easy tube removal, and can be autoclaved, which matters after a tube failure with a bacterial culture. It has a domed lid to take screw-cap microtubes and spin columns, so it is not limited to flip-cap tubes. Individual tube slots support tubes along their length and contain the sample if a tube fails.
Safety and reliability are covered by a brushless maintenance-free motor and an imbalance detection system that shuts the unit down automatically on a significant imbalance. Noise is published at 56 dB with the compressor on, which is quiet for a refrigerated unit and quiet enough to run in an occupied room.
The full specification is 24 x 1.5/2.0 mL capacity, maximum 13,500 rpm, maximum 17,135 g, temperature range -10 to 40 degrees C, timer 0.5 to 99 minutes or continuous with a quick spin button, and a weight of 44 lb. Note the temperature floor is -10 degrees C, against -20 on the Refrigerated Centrifuge in this family.

This listing publishes a full specification. Confirm the supply voltage before ordering: the published electrical specification is 115 V, which is not the Indian mains standard; ask whether a 220 to 240 V, 50 Hz version is available for your destination. The refrigerant type and the ambient temperature limit for rated cooling are not stated.
