Benchmark MC-24R Refrigerated High Speed Microcentrifuge (C2417-R)
Quote
The Benchmark MC-24R™ Refrigerated High Speed Microcentrifuge is a compact refrigerated microcentrifuge designed for temperature-sensitive, high-speed workflows in molecular biology and life science labs. It delivers up to 13,500 rpm (16,800 × g) with powerful refrigeration (as low as -20°C) to help protect heat-labile samples, including enzymes and RNA, during demanding runs such as lysate clarification, precipitate removal, and rapid spin-down steps.
Built for modern sample prep, the MC-24R supports high-throughput spin column microcentrifuge workflows and PCR processing using the COMBI-Rotor™ option (microtubes plus PCR strips), helping reduce rotor changeovers in daily routines like PCR cleanup/gel extraction, plasmid mini-prep, and DNA/RNA extraction and cleanup. Touch operation, RPM/RCF conversion, adjustable acceleration/deceleration, and program storage up to 99 make it easier to standardize protocols across multiple users, while the status indicator light improves visibility in busy labs.
Description
Product Highlights
- Refrigerated High Speed Microcentrifuge: Up to 13,500 rpm (up to 16,800 × g) for rapid pelleting, tight separations, and fast spin-downs.
- Temperature Control for Sensitive Samples: Powerful refrigeration supports workflows that benefit from controlled temperatures (e.g., enzymes, RNA, and heat-labile reagents), with cooling as low as -20°C.
- Spin Column Workflow Ready: Ideal for kit-based sample prep, including PCR cleanup, gel extraction, and DNA/RNA extraction and cleanup steps that use spin columns.
- COMBI-Rotor™ Efficiency (Option/Configuration Dependent): Supports microtubes plus PCR tubes/strips in one rotor to reduce changeovers and keep multi-step protocols moving.
- Touch Operation (Glove Friendly): Streamlined control for quick setup, method recall, and daily use in shared lab environments.
- Protocol Standardization: Store up to 99 programs to keep settings consistent across users, shifts, and validated methods.
- Precision Method Control: Adjustable acceleration/deceleration and real-time RPM/RCF conversion to match protocol requirements and simplify documentation.
- Status Indicator Light: Quickly see run state (running/standby/complete) from across the lab without hovering over the instrument.
