COMBI-Rotor™ for Tubes and PCR Strips

The MyFuge 12 includes Benchmark Scientific’s COMBI-Rotor™, which allows users to run both microtubes and PCR strips without changing rotors.

The rotor accommodates:

12 × 1.5/2.0 mL tubes
32 × 0.2 mL PCR tubes
4 PCR strips

Benchmark Scientific states that the MyFuge 12 provides twice the capacity of traditional mini centrifuges.

Quick Spin-Down Operation

The MyFuge 12 operates at a fixed speed that produces 2,000 × g.

Closing the lid starts the centrifuge and the rotor ramps up to 5,500 RPM. Opening the lid causes the rotor to decelerate for sample removal.

Benchmark Scientific describes the MyFuge 12 as suitable for quick spin-downs.

Compact Mini Centrifuge

The MyFuge 12 has a compact, low-profile design and weighs approximately 5 lb / 2.3 kg.

Benchmark Scientific describes the system as a personal microcentrifuge and highlights its compact size, capacity and rotor flexibility.

Why Buy the Benchmark Scientific MyFuge 12?

1. No Rotor Changes

The included COMBI-Rotor accommodates both standard microcentrifuge tubes and PCR tubes or strips. That means fewer interruptions during your workflow and no separate PCR rotor to store or misplace.

2. More Capacity Than Many Mini Centrifuges

With capacity for up to 12 standard microtubes, the MyFuge 12 provides twice the capacity of many traditional six-place mini centrifuges.

3. Ideal for PCR Workflows

The ability to centrifuge up to 32 individual 0.2 mL PCR tubes or four PCR strips makes the MyFuge 12 an excellent compact centrifuge for PCR and molecular biology laboratories.

4. Easy to Use

There are no complicated menus or operating procedures. Close the lid to start and open it to stop.

5. Saves Bench Space

The compact design makes the MyFuge 12 an excellent personal laboratory centrifuge for researchers who want a centrifuge conveniently located at their workstation.

6. Backed by a Two-Year Warranty

The Benchmark Scientific MyFuge 12 is covered by a two-year manufacturer's warranty.
