Labotronics Mini Centrifuge (LB-10MC)
The Labotronics Mini Centrifuge is a compact, benchtop laboratory device essential for rapid sedimentation and sample separation in molecular biology, clinical diagnostics, and PCR workstations. Designed with a maintenance-free brushless DC motor, it ensures quiet and reliable performance in demanding lab environments.
Key Features and Benefits
- Compact Design: Its small footprint makes it ideal for crowded benchtops or PCR workstations.
- High Performance: Capable of reaching speeds up to 6,000 RPM (model dependent), facilitating quick separation of small liquid volumes.
- Versatile Rotor Capacity: Standard rotors accommodate 8 x 1.5/2.0 mL tubes and 2 x 8 x 0.2 mL PCR strips, with adapters included for 0.5 mL and 0.2 mL tubes.
- Safety First: Features an electronic lid lock and a "flip-switch" mechanism that automatically stops the rotor when the lid is opened.
- Quiet Operation: Noise levels are kept below 52 dB(A), ensuring a comfortable working environment.
Application and Use
This centrifuge is widely used in Nigeria for routine lab tasks such as:
- Separating blood components.
- Precipitating DNA/RNA.
- Quick spin-downs from walls of tubes.
Maintenance and Care
The brushless DC motor is maintenance-free, but it is recommended to keep the rotor clean and ensure the device is placed on a level surface for optimal performance. If you have questions about the setup or specific use cases, you can contact a GoMed pharmacist for guidance on laboratory supplies.
