Centrifuge 5418 R
18-place capacity centrifuges for molecular biology that are specifically designed for low to medium capacity in 1.5/2.0 mL tubes and Microtainer®. Their speed of up to 16,873 × g allows for standard molecular biology applications.
Centrifugation
We have had this centrifuge for 6 years now and never have any problems. The cooling is fast, the touch screen is easy to set up, when it spins, as long as well balanced, it is very quiet. It is worth the money to invest one!
