Details:
The Hettich Mikro 220 centrifuge is a variable-speed centrifuge that runs at speeds from 500 to 18,000 rpm. This centrifuge is compatible with 9 interchangeable rotors (sold separately) and can accommodate up to 60 x 1.5/2mL tubes. The centrifuge automatically senses the rotor type and sets the maximum speed, for increased safety of samples. The unit shuts off if a rotor becomes imbalanced, if the motor overheats, or if the chamber overheats, for decreased wear. This centrifuge is designed to be used in genetic research, virology, and bacteriology.
This centrifuge has a timer from 1 second to 99 minutes, 59 seconds for data accuracy. This centrifuge can be run using either speed or relative centrifugal force (rcf) values for flexibility. The unit is non-refrigerated and does not have temperature control features.
