Why RITACUBA16R is a strong choice for routine refrigerated centrifugation
The RITACUBA16R refrigerated centrifuge combines high-speed performance, compact benchtop construction, and flexible rotor selection in one laboratory platform. It is designed for users who need reliable speed control, refrigerated sample handling, and practical support for both microtube and larger tube formats.
This model fits PCR laboratories, molecular biology workflows, routine sample preparation, and bacterial separation tasks where a combination of cooling, throughput, and rotor flexibility matters. The compact body helps save desktop space, while the touch-screen interface and stored programs support repeated daily use.

PRACTICAL USE & WORKFLOW
Why users choose RITACUBA16R
RITACUBA16R is built for laboratories that need both high-speed centrifugation and refrigeration in a compact footprint. The system supports timed startup, instant centrifugation, stored methods, and live parameter changes during operation. The control screen can display speed, RCF, time, temperature, acceleration, deceleration, and related run parameters.
Refrigeration performance is one of the main strengths of this platform. The stainless-steel bowl and R134a cooling system are presented with the ability to stabilize at 4 °C at highest speed, while rapid pre-cooling can bring the system from 25 °C to 4 °C in about 6 minutes. This is useful for laboratories working with temperature-sensitive samples.
COLO.Science & rotor selection support
COLO.Science supports centrifuge configuration according to sample volume, tube type, required RCF, and daily throughput. This matters because RITACUBA16R can be configured with several fixed-angle rotor options, from 12 × 1.5 / 2 ml up to 6 × 50 ml.
Representative compatible rotor formats include PRO3885, PRO6936, PRO6938, and PRO6934, while adapter options support additional 5 ml, 10 ml and 15 ml formats. Final rotor selection should always be matched to tube geometry, balancing requirements, and target separation force.

Configuration notice — rotor, tube format and balancing setup should be confirmed per application
The official technical specification defines the RITACUBA16R performance envelope, but final configuration should be matched to the user’s sample volume, tube geometry, required RCF, and cooling workflow. Adapter options support additional 5 ml, 10 ml and 15 ml formats for application-specific setups.
