The Corning LSE Mini Microcentrifuge is a personal bench top instrument that operates at a fixed speed of 6,000 rpm (2,000 x g) and was designed for quick spin downs of micro-samples. Operation is made simpler and more convenient with the design of a quick-release rotor system and electronic brake. Once samples are loaded and the lid is closed, the rotor rapidly accelerates to 6,000 rpm. This speed range is ideal for bringing small droplets to the bottom of the tubes for micro-filtrations or as basic separations. Pressing the lid release button will active the electronic brake, which brings the rotor to a fast stop. The mini microcentrifuge can accommodate up to 8 microcentrifuge tubes or 4 PCR strip tubes. Smaller samples such as 0.2, 0.25, and 0.5 mL can also be processed by using the included tube adapters.
