Compact instruments that provide flexibility, reliability and precise performance—while taking up little space—are invaluable in the lab. Beckman Coulter Life Science’s Microfuge 20 and 20R microcentrifuges seamlessly perform processes including nucleic acid and protein preparation, and rapid sedimentation of protein precipitates, particulates and cell debris. It stores 10-user defined programs and has a user-friendly interface. Sample processing speeds can reach 15,000 rpm and a refrigerated version offers a temperature range of -10°C to 40°C. Fixed angle rotors offer capacities of 24 to 36 microcentrifuge tubes or four PCR tube strips. An optional rotor enables safe processing of hazardous samples. Beckman Coulter Life Sciences
