Micromax refrigerated and ventilated microcentrifuge is suited for use in a number of settings, including DNA/RNA molecular biology, clinical and forensic labs. The unit can produce force up to 21,000 × g at speeds of 15,000 rpm. It accelerates to full speed in <15 sec, minimizing wait time. Control over g-force, braking rates and timing ensures consistency. Controls are microprocessor-based for added reliability, and a range of durable, polypropylene rotors that can be autoclaved is available.
