MSE Micro Centaur Plus Centrifuge

• Separation of biological samples in clinical laboratories.
• Pelleting of cells and subcellular fractions in research settings.
• Preparation of samples for molecular biology applications.
• Processing of small volume samples in pharmaceutical R&D.

Typical capacity

Units in this class typically accommodate microcentrifuge tubes (e.g., 0.2ml, 0.5ml, 1.5ml, 2.0ml) with rotor capacities commonly ranging from 18 to 24 tubes.

Maximum RCF

For this type of benchtop microcentrifuge, maximum RCF (Relative Centrifugal Force) is typically in the range of 12,000 to 16,000 x g.

Maximum speed

Maximum speed for units of this type is commonly around 13,000 to 15,000 RPM.

Temperature range

As a refrigerated model, these centrifuges typically offer a temperature range from -9°C to +40°C, maintaining sample integrity.

Power supply

Commonly operates on a standard single-phase electrical supply, typically 230V, 50Hz for the UK market.

Footprint

Benchtop units of this specification are designed to be compact, typically requiring a footprint of approximately 30-40cm wide and 40-50cm deep.

• What types of rotors are typically compatible with the MSE Micro Centaur Plus?

  This model commonly uses fixed-angle rotors designed for microcentrifuge tubes. Buyers should verify the specific rotor included or compatible with the unit.

• Is this centrifuge suitable for temperature-sensitive samples?

• What maintenance is typically required for a used MSE Micro Centaur Plus?

• Can this unit be used for PCR plate centrifugation?

• What safety features are commonly found on this centrifuge?

Centrifuges are valued across laboratories and biotech facilities for reliable sample separation. Buyers typically prioritise rotor compatibility, temperature stability in refrigerated models, and ease of maintenance when purchasing used units. Industry sentiment reflects appreciation for durable construction and consistent performance. Key considerations include verifying motor condition, checking calibration history, and confirming availability of compatible rotors. Well-maintained examples offer strong value and longevity, though wear on seals and bearings warrants inspection. Speed range and capacity alignment with intended applications remains important for operational efficiency.
