Labnet Spectrafuge C1301 Mini Centrifuge, 120/230V, Grey Lid
The Labnet Spectrafuge C1301 centrifuge runs at 6,000 rpm and holds standard microtubes and 0.2mL tube strips. Opening the lid causes the rotor to brake to a stop for increased safety. The unit will spin down droplets or condensation on microtubes and tube strips before and after thermal cycling to increase polymerase chain reaction (PCR) yield. This low-speed centrifuge is suitable for applications in biotechnology and life science research.
The centrifuge is non-refrigerated and does not have temperature control features.
| Maximum speed | 6,000 revolutions per minute (rpm) |
| Maximum relative centrifugal force (RCF) | 2,000 x g |
| Power | 120V 60Hz or 230V 50Hz |
| Weight | 0.45kg/1lb. |
| Dimensions | 11.7 x 15 x 15cm /4.6 x 5.9 x 5.9 inches (H x W x D) |
| Maximum rotor capacity | 6 x 1.5/2.0mL tubes, 2 x 0.2mL tube strips |
H is height, the vertical distance from the lowest to highest point; W is width, the horizontal distance from left to right; D is depth, the horizontal distance from front to back.
A centrifuge is used to spin fluids of different densities to separate various parts, commonly blood and DNA samples. Centrifuges are composed of the main body or housing and a spinning rotor. Tubes of cellular material suspended in liquid are inserted into the rotor and spun at various speeds to separate components. Centrifuges are used in medical, industrial, and research laboratories, as well as academic and clinical settings.
