Benchmark Scientific | MC-12 Microcentrifuge with 12-Place Rotor | High-Speed, Compact & Whisper Quiet Centrifuge for Molecular Biology
The Benchmark Scientific MC-12 Microcentrifuge is a compact, high-performance centrifuge designed for use in molecular biology and DNA protocols.
With a 12-tube capacity and speeds reaching up to 16,100 xg, the MC-12 sets a new standard for small-scale, efficient centrifugation.
Its brushless, maintenance-free drive system ensures both power and durability, making it an ideal choice for labs that require high-speed performance in a compact form.
At less than 9 inches wide, it can be placed in even the most space-constrained workstations, while still delivering exceptional acceleration and deceleration times.
This microcentrifuge operates with whisper-quiet efficiency, ensuring minimal noise disruption in the lab.
Its specially designed airflow pattern prevents sample temperature rise during extended high-speed runs, preserving sample integrity.
The user-friendly design includes a single control knob to adjust all operating parameters, and a large LCD screen displays clear information on time, RPM, and g-force.
Additionally, a separate momentary spin button allows for instant spin downs without disrupting your preset settings.
The MC-12 rotor is made from aircraft-grade aluminum, accepting 1.5 to 2.0ml tubes directly, as well as smaller 0.5ml and 0.2ml tubes with optional adapters.
It's also cold room safe, making it suitable for a wide range of laboratory environments.
Whether you're conducting high-speed DNA extractions or other molecular biology tasks, the Benchmark Scientific MC-12 offers an affordable, reliable, and space-saving solution.
Available now at Alto Med Supply.
