Description
Microlitre centrifuge Heraeus® Pico®21 is a versatile bench-top centrifuge supplied with two rotors for flexible microlitre sample processing. The set includes a 24 × 1,5/2,0 ml rotor with an aerosol-tight ClickSeal lid and a two-row rotor offering 18 × 0,5 ml plus 18 × 1,5/2,0 ml positions with a screw lid, covering common microtube formats used in molecular biology and related laboratory work. This dual-rotor configuration supports routine pelleting, clarification and sample preparation where both standard and mixed tube sizes are required. From manufacturer Thermo Scientific, the Heraeus® Pico®21 package is aimed at research, diagnostic and teaching laboratories that need adaptable microlitre centrifugation without changing instruments. Supplied as 1 pc, the system brings together aerosol-tight closure on the 24-place rotor and a screw-lid option on the dual-row rotor for practical day-to-day handling. The combination of two dedicated rotors makes this model a convenient choice for laboratories processing varied microtube workloads.

Questions about Microlitre centrifuge Heraeus® Pico®21, 2 rotors with 24- and 36-place rotor
What is this article?
Microlitre centrifuge Heraeus® Pico®21, 2 rotors with 24- and 36-place rotor is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes THERMO SCIENTIFIC for laboratory use. It sits in Microcentrifuges & mini centrifuges, inside Centrifuges, in Lab instruments.
A microcentrifuge spins 0.2 mL to 2 mL tubes at high force. A mini centrifuge is the small quick-spin for bringing a droplet down from a lid. They are not interchangeable with a 50 mL rotor. The lid lock is part of the safety of the instrument.
A centrifuge separates by density. The rotor spins the sample and the force is reported as a multiple of gravity, not as a raw speed, because the same revolutions per minute are a different force at a different radius. A microcentrifuge takes small tubes. A benchtop or floor model takes larger rotors. The tube, the adapter and the rotor have to be the combination the manufacturer rated. An unbalanced load is how centrifuges fail. Measurement of the related quantities sits with the BIPM.
