Hettich Mikro 200R Centrifuge

• Separation of biological samples such as blood, urine, and cell cultures in clinical laboratories.
• Pelleting of DNA, RNA, and proteins in molecular biology and biochemistry research.
• Preparation of samples for analytical techniques like PCR, chromatography, and spectroscopy.
• Processing of small-volume samples in pharmaceutical development and quality control.
• Microfiltration and concentration tasks in biotechnology and life science research.

Typical capacity

Commonly accommodates microcentrifuge tubes (e.g., 0.2ml, 0.5ml, 1.5ml, 2.0ml) with rotor options for up to 24 tubes.

Maximum RCF

Units of this class typically achieve relative centrifugal forces (RCF) in the range of 20,000 to 23,000 x g.

Maximum RPM

Typical maximum speeds are around 13,000 to 15,000 revolutions per minute (RPM).

Temperature range

As a refrigerated model, it typically maintains temperatures from -9°C to +40°C, crucial for heat-sensitive samples.

Power supply

Commonly operates on standard laboratory power, typically 230V, 50/60Hz for the UK market.

Footprint

Benchtop refrigerated centrifuges like this typically have a compact footprint, suitable for laboratory benches.
