The Microcentrifuge 22R is a refrigerated benchtop centrifuge often used in laboratories for applications that require precise temperature control, such as DNA, RNA, and protein analysis

Key Specifications & Features

• Maximum Speed: Typically, up to 15,000 RPM, depending on the rotor.
• Temperature Range: Usually -10°C to 40°C, which helps maintain sample integrity.
• Capacity: Accommodates a variety of rotor options, commonly for 1.5–2 mL tubes but often has adaptors for smaller or larger volumes.
• Speed & Force: Can reach high RCF (Relative Centrifugal Force), often around 20,000 x g.
• Control System: Digital displays and controls for setting speed, time, and temperature.
• Safety Features: Includes imbalance detection, a robust braking system, and a sealed chamber to contain any spills.

The 22R is widely used in molecular biology, biochemistry, and cell biology labs. Its cooling function helps prevent heat-sensitive samples from degrading, making it ideal for:

• Nucleic acid and protein preparation
• Cell culture sample processing
• Enzyme assays
