Scie-Plas puts a new spin on mini centrifuges

The Cambridge, UK and Holliston, MA, US-based firm says the product is easy to use. It features an on/off switch that allows the lid to be closed without starting the unit and when the lid is opened, the centrifuge stops automatically.

The three rotors include a 6-place rotor for 1.5ml tubes, a 0.2ml PCR strip rotor, and a 1x3in slide rotor. A maximum speed of 6,000rpm/2,000 x g is perfect for quickly spinning down samples, in micro gel filtration applications and for micro-volume centrifugation, the company says.

John Attwood, director of sales and marketing at Scie-Plas, said: ‘The mini centrifuge has been developed to complement our wide range of electrophoresis reagents, buffers and equipment, from transilluminators and blotting units to gel documentation systems.

‘The new mini centrifuge is a highly versatile sample preparation tool for every laboratory bench.’
