Benchmark MC-12 High Speed Microcentrifuge delivers exceptional speed and performance in a compact, workstation-friendly footprint. Designed for high-demand molecular biology applications, the MC-12 reaches up to 15,500 RPM and 16,100 x g — ideal for DNA/RNA protocols, protein precipitations, and mini preps.
With a brushless, maintenance-free motor and aircraft-grade aluminum rotor, the MC-12 combines reliability with precision. Its airflow system is optimized to reduce sample heating during extended high-speed spins, and a large, easy-to-read LCD ensures intuitive control with a single knob.
Features:
- Speed range: 500 to 15,500 RPM / Max RCF: 16,100 x g
- Compact design suitable for personal workstation use
- Aircraft-grade aluminum rotor supports 12 x 1.5/2.0ml tubes
- Optional adapters for 0.2ml and 0.5ml tubes
- Large backlit LCD for viewing time, RPM, or RCF
- Single-knob interface for all parameter settings
- Quick acceleration (10 sec) and deceleration (12 sec)
- Cold room safe for sub-ambient protocols
- Momentary spin button for quick pulse spins
Precision at High Speed
The MC-12 is uniquely engineered to meet the 16,000 x g benchmark required for many critical lab procedures. Whisper-quiet operation and reduced sample heating make it the ideal choice for high-speed applications without compromising sample integrity.
