Mini Centrifuge
Product Code : EL-LC-10978
Last updated: 6 October 2026
Quick answer: A palm-sized mini centrifuge reaching 6,000 rpm on closing the lid, supplied with an 8-position 1.5/2.0 mL microtube rotor and a 0.2 mL PCR tube rotor for 32 tubes, with lid-opening braking that stops the rotor in one second.
The safety behaviour here is the point worth noting for a classroom. Opening the lid activates the braking mechanism and decelerates the rotor in just one second, which the listing describes as a classroom safety feature. On a small centrifuge the usual hazard is a student lifting the lid while the rotor still has momentum, and a one-second brake largely removes it.
Operation is as simple as it gets: close the lid and the motor quickly reaches 6,000 rpm. Two rotors are supplied, an 8-position rotor for 1.5 or 2.0 mL microtubes and a 0.2 mL PCR tube rotor taking 32 tubes, plus 8 adapters for 0.5 mL tubes. An underside storage compartment houses the PCR rotor and the adapters, which is a genuine improvement on keeping them in a drawer where they are lost by the second term.
The listing also refers to a rotor attachment system, though the sentence describing it is incomplete in the source text.
This is a fixed-speed unit at 6,000 rpm with no timer mentioned, so it suits quick spins, collecting condensate and brief pelleting rather than any protocol specified in g or requiring a set duration. The maximum g-force, dimensions, weight and electrical supply are not published; ask for them before ordering.
