The Benchmark Scientific MyFuge™ 12 Plus Digital Mini Centrifuge (C2212) is a compact, digitally controlled laboratory centrifuge designed for microtubes, PCR tubes, and PCR strips.
With adjustable speed up to 7,000 rpm / 2,739 × g, a digital timer, and Benchmark's included COMBI-Rotor™, the MyFuge 12 Plus provides greater control than a fixed-speed mini centrifuge while allowing multiple tube formats to be used without changing rotors.
The COMBI-Rotor accommodates up to 12 × 1.5/2.0 mL microtubes, 32 × 0.2 mL PCR tubes, or 4 PCR strips. Benchmark states that microtubes and PCR strips can also be centrifuged simultaneously in the included rotor.
For laboratories looking for a versatile digital mini centrifuge or compact microcentrifuge for microtubes and PCR strips, the MyFuge 12 Plus combines adjustable speed, digital timing, and multi-format capacity in a small benchtop system.

Digital Mini Centrifuge for Microtubes and PCR Strips
The MyFuge 12 Plus is designed to handle several commonly used laboratory tube formats within a single compact centrifuge.
Its included COMBI-Rotor accommodates:
- 12 × 1.5/2.0 mL microtubes
- 32 × 0.2 mL PCR tubes
- 4 PCR strips
The rotor's design eliminates the need to change rotors when moving between microtubes and PCR strips. Benchmark also specifies that the rotor can centrifuge up to 12 microtubes and/or 4 PCR strips simultaneously.
This feature makes the C2212 particularly useful for laboratories searching for a mini centrifuge for PCR strips, a PCR tube centrifuge, or a compact centrifuge for standard microcentrifuge tubes.
Adjustable Speed Up to 7,000 rpm
Unlike a basic fixed-speed mini centrifuge, the MyFuge 12 Plus digital mini centrifuge provides adjustable speed control from the front digital interface.
Maximum performance is:
7,000 rpm / 2,739 × g
Built-in RCF conversion allows the operating speed to be set and displayed in either rpm or RCF.
This provides users with greater control over centrifugation conditions while retaining the compact footprint of a mini centrifuge.
Digital Timer
The MyFuge 12 Plus includes a digital timer with settings up to:
99 minutes 59 seconds
Benchmark's published specifications list the timer range as 1–99 minutes 59 seconds.
The combination of digital speed control and timed operation distinguishes the C2212 from simpler fixed-speed mini centrifuges.
COMBI-Rotor™ for Tubes and PCR Strips
One of the defining features of the Benchmark Scientific MyFuge 12 Plus C2212 is the included COMBI-Rotor.
Rather than requiring separate rotors for microtubes and PCR strips, the COMBI-Rotor is designed to accommodate both formats.
That gives the MyFuge 12 Plus the flexibility to function as a:
- digital mini centrifuge
- compact microcentrifuge
- PCR tube centrifuge
- PCR strip centrifuge
without requiring the user to swap rotors between these tube formats.
