Description
The Labnet Spectrafuge Mini Centrifuge (Model C1301) is a classic, ultra-compact personal microcentrifuge engineered to provide rapid sample processing directly at a researcher’s benchtop. Requiring less than six inches of valuable bench space, this efficient unit is a laboratory staple for molecular biology, genomics, cell separation, and microfiltration procedures. It excels at daily routine tasks, such as collecting micro-volume reagents at the bottom of microtubes, pulling down condensation from PCR tube caps prior to thermal cycling, and conducting spin-filtrations.
The C1301 is built around a heavy-duty, low-noise motor that quickly and smoothly accelerates the rotor to a fixed operating speed of 6,000 RPM, translating to a relative centrifugal force of 2,000 x g. The chassis is constructed of high-grade, impact-resistant materials designed to suppress vibrations, keeping the unit whisper-quiet and highly stable even when running at maximum speed.
Features:
-
Compact Footprint: Extremely small 6″ x 6″ physical footprint allows the unit to easily sit on crowded lab benches, inside fume hoods, or in cold rooms.
-
Lid-Activated Operation: Completely buttonless run initiation—simply snap the lid shut to begin spinning.
-
Dual-Rotor Versatility: Ships with both a 6 x 1.5/2.0 mL standard microtube rotor and a 2 x 8-strip PCR tube rotor.
-
Clear Viewing Dome: Translucent lid ensures that users can continuously monitor rotor balance, tube integrity, and sedimentation in real time.
-
Safe Deceleration Design: Releasing the front mechanical latch disengages the motor drive, allowing the rotor to coast down to a smooth, safe, vibration-free stop.
-
Low Noise Output: High-grade internal motor components run exceptionally quietly, minimizing background distraction in the workspace.
