LACE16W — High Speed Laboratory Micro Centrifuge (16000 rpm)
OVERVIEW
High-speed laboratory microcentrifuges are essential for rapid separation of small-volume samples in clinical, pharmaceutical, environmental and research laboratories. They enable efficient pelleting of cells and precipitates, nucleic acid and protein sample preparation, as well as routine serum and plasma separation in tight laboratory spaces.
LACE16W is a compact COLO high-speed micro centrifuge with a speed range from 800 to 16,000 rpm, generating up to 19,040 ×g. The instrument is supplied with a standard fixed-angle rotor for 12 × 1.5/2.0 ml tubes with biocontainment click-seal lid and can be equipped with additional rotors for 0.2 ml, 0.5 ml and 5 ml tubes. An easy-to-read LED display, brushless motor, 20 s–99 min 59 s timer, RPM/RCF conversion and imbalance detection combine to provide reliable, safe and user-friendly centrifugation for daily routine and demanding scientific applications.
