Mini centrifuges provide a compact and convenient solution for quick spin-downs of microtubes, PCR tubes, and PCR strips. Designed for routine laboratory use, these small-footprint centrifuges are well suited for researchers who need fast, simple centrifugation without the size or complexity of a full benchtop centrifuge.

Transilluminators.com offers Benchmark Scientific mini centrifuges, including MyFuge™ models designed for common microtube and PCR formats. Depending on the model, available capacities include up to 12 × 1.5/2.0 mL tubes, 32 × 0.2 mL PCR tubes, or 4 PCR strips. Benchmark mini centrifuges operate at up to 6,000 RPM and 2,000 × g and feature simple lid-activated operation for quick spin-down applications.

Compact Mini Centrifuges for Everyday Laboratory Use

Mini centrifuges are designed to conserve bench space while providing straightforward centrifugation for small-volume samples. Benchmark Scientific’s MyFuge centrifuges include configurations for standard 1.5/2.0 mL tubes as well as 0.2 mL PCR tubes and strips.

Depending on the model, features may include:

Fixed-speed operation up to 6,000 RPM
Maximum RCF of 2,000 × g
Microtube and PCR tube compatibility
PCR strip capacity
Near-silent operation
Lid-activated start and stop
Compact, low-profile design
Interchangeable or combination rotor configurations

Benchmark Scientific MyFuge Mini Centrifuges

The MyFuge Mini Centrifuge C1008 includes an eight-position microtube rotor and a separate PCR rotor for 0.2 mL PCR tubes and strips. It operates at 6,000 RPM / 2,000 × g.

The MyFuge 12 C1012 uses Benchmark Scientific’s COMBI-Rotor™, which accommodates microtubes and PCR strips without requiring a rotor change. It operates at 5,500 RPM / 2,000 × g and holds up to 12 × 1.5/2.0 mL tubes.

Choosing a Mini Centrifuge

When comparing mini centrifuges, consider the tube formats you use most often, the number of samples you need to process, rotor configuration, maximum RPM, and maximum RCF.

For quick spin-downs of microtubes and PCR tubes, a compact mini centrifuge can provide a simple and space-efficient option. For protocols requiring substantially higher centrifugal force, a high-speed microcentrifuge may be more appropriate.
