A microcentrifuge is used in laboratories to spin small liquid samples at high speeds, separating substances based on density. It is commonly used in molecular biology, biochemistry, and clinical labs.

Microcentrifuges are ideal for small volumes of liquid samples, such as DNA, RNA, proteins, cell lysates, or other biochemical substances.

Yes, most microcentrifuges are compatible with standard microcentrifuge tubes ranging from 0.2 mL to 2 mL. Check your specific model for tube compatibility.

Microcentrifuges typically operate at speeds between 6,000 to 15,000 RPM, depending on the model. This ensures efficient separation for most lab applications.

Microcentrifuges are generally safe, but it is important to use properly sealed tubes to prevent leaks or spills when processing volatile or hazardous materials.

Some microcentrifuges come with refrigeration or temperature control options to protect temperature-sensitive samples. Ensure your selection includes this feature if needed.

Maintenance involves regular cleaning, balancing the rotor before use, and checking for wear on the rotor and lid seal. Following the manufacturer’s guidelines is crucial.

Microcentrifuges generally run on standard electrical supplies, but ensure the voltage matches your region’s specifications before use.

Modern microcentrifuges are designed to minimize noise, but the level depends on the specific model. Generally, they produce a moderate hum during operation.

Yes, microcentrifuges are suitable for clinical and diagnostic applications, provided they are used with approved and sterile accessories for handling biological samples.
