FAQ
Compact benchtop centrifuges combine high rotational performance with efficient space utilization, making them ideal for advanced workflows where precision and reproducibility are critical. Modern compact units can achieve RCF values exceeding 20,000 × g, rivaling many mid-range floor centrifuges, while offering faster acceleration and deceleration profiles for time-sensitive protocols. They also minimize sample-to-sample variation through precise temperature regulation and microprocessor-controlled balancing. For multi-user environments or molecular biology labs, these centrifuges allow quick rotor swaps between microtubes, PCR strips, and mini-prep formats — streamlining complex sample preparation workflows without compromising speed or consistency.
When selecting a compact centrifuge, consider your sample type, required speed (RPM or g-force), rotor capacity, and safety features. For example, microcentrifuges are best for small-volume tubes (0.2–2 mL), while larger benchtop models handle bigger sample sizes. Look for features like imbalance detection, quiet operation, and easy rotor changes for efficiency and safety. Also, make sure the centrifuge supports your lab’s specific protocols and sample volumes.
To keep your centrifuge running smoothly, clean the rotor and chamber regularly using mild detergent and water, and ensure all tubes are balanced before use. Check for rotor corrosion, inspect gaskets and seals, and follow the manufacturer’s maintenance schedule. Avoid overloading the rotor, and store the centrifuge with the lid open to prevent moisture buildup. Proper care extends the lifespan of the equipment and ensures consistent performance.
