Typical capacity

Units of this type commonly accommodate 24 x 1.5/2.0 ml microtubes, though other rotor configurations may be available.

Maximum RCF

For this class of equipment, maximum RCF typically ranges up to 17,000 x g.

Maximum speed

Corresponding maximum speeds are often around 13,300 RPM for microcentrifuges of this specification.

Temperature control

While the Pico17 is a benchtop microcentrifuge, some variants or similar models in this range may offer refrigeration for temperature-sensitive samples.

Footprint

Benchtop microcentrifuges are designed for compact laboratory spaces, typically having a small footprint.

Power supply

Commonly operates on standard laboratory single-phase power, such as 230V, 50Hz for the UK market.

• What types of rotors are compatible with this model?

  This model typically uses fixed-angle rotors designed for microtubes. Buyers should confirm the specific rotor included and its compatibility for their application.

• Is this unit suitable for temperature-sensitive samples?

• What maintenance is typically required for a used centrifuge?

• What safety features are commonly found on these centrifuges?

• Can this centrifuge be used for clinical applications?

Centrifuge rotors, buckets and accessories hold strong reputations for reliability and durability when purchased used. Buyers typically value compatibility verification with specific centrifuge models before purchase, as mismatched components compromise performance and safety. Industry users commonly praise the robustness of quality rotor materials and balanced construction. When sourcing used examples, inspecting for corrosion, wear patterns and proper calibration certification proves essential. Established manufacturers' products tend to command buyer confidence due to consistent build standards and longer operational lifespans across demanding laboratory and pharmaceutical applications.
