Meet our family of centrifuges that spin around your needs

Benchtop centrifuges – Small in size, big in power

Mini centrifuges

  • Ease of use - Ergonomic design, tool-free rotors, and quickspin options make it fast and effortless
  • Efficient - Ideal for most protocols requiring fast spins  (12,500 rpm / 9,800 x g)
  • Safe - Ensures it will not operate when the lid is open or if a rotor is jammed and operates quietly with low vibration

Micro centrifuges

  • Ease of use - Simplified operation with intuitive controls,  easy-to-read displays and fast one-click centrifuge lid closure
  • Efficient - Fast acceleration and deceleration, and ideal for processing micro-volumes
  • Safe - Ergonomic one-click biocontainment lid opening and closing

Compact centrifuges

  • Ease of use—Secure, push-button Auto-Lock rotor exchange delivers trouble-free  rotor installation 
  • Efficient—Maximised swing-out capacity up to 8 x 50 mL conical tubes. Fixed angle flexibility to spin 50mL conical tubes at over 12,000 x g or microtubes at speeds up to 30,279 x g
  • Safe—Biocontainment sealing options, ClickSeal lids offer glove-friendly, one-handed operation

General purpose centrifuges

  • Ease of use - Improved ergonomics with ClickSeal biocontainment options to improve sample and user safety. Bright, easy-to-use LCD control panel with touchscreen interface
  • Efficient—Auto-Lock rotor exchange provides flexibility to switch between applications in less than 3 seconds without any tools. Ability to hold up to 196 blood tubes, 40 x 50 mL conical tubes, or 24 microplates in one run
  • Safe—Ergonomically designed for improved reach-in during rotor installation

Floor model centrifuges – Maximum flexibility and high throughput

Ultraspeed
centrifuges

  • Efficient - With performance over 1,000,000 x g and up to 150,000 rpm in a compact footprint
  • Versatile - Extensive rotor selection, including unique carbon  fiber rotors, provide application flexibility
  • Simplified - A user-friendly, full-color graphical display and visual sample balancing up to 5 mm keeps operation and programming simple
  • Quiet - Noise level as low as 45 dBA while running at over 100,000 rpm

Superspeed
centrifuges

  • Ergonomics—Carbon fiber rotors provide lightweight alternatives; speed handles for easier and safer lifting of rotors; foot space to allow closer positioning of the user to reduce strain when loading and unloading

Centrifuge ware

Select the right vessel and spin with confidence at any scale

There are several factors to consider when selecting the correct vessel for each application: 

  • Chemical compatibility  
  • Volume 
  • Temperature 
  • Relative centrifugal force (RCF) required 
  • Protocols to be used for loading and sample recovery  
  • Cleaning and autoclaving steps

Understanding your requirements before selecting a tube or bottle ensures you make the right choice. Whether your application includes the need for separations, large volume pelleting, protein purification or DNA isolation, the comprehensive selection of Thermo Scientific™ Nalgene™ and Nunc™ centrifuge ware offers a solution for virtually all scales.

Carbon fiber rotors

Thermo Scientific™ Fiberlite™ carbon fiber rotors

Thermo Scientific centrifuges offer an unparalleled selection of rotors. Built to last, the innovative Fiberlite material are lightweight for energy efficiency and resists corrosion and fatigue, reducing the chance of deformity and the need for derating. Fiberlite rotors are backed by a 15-year warranty.
