Description
Thermo Scientific Pico 21 microcentrifuge including 24 × 1.5/2,0 ml rotor and lid is a compact air-cooled benchtop unit for routine micro-volume separations. The instrument accepts 24 × 1,5/2 ml tubes and reaches a maximum speed of 14800 min⁻¹ with a maximum relative centrifugal force of 21100 × g. It is supplied with a 24 × 1.5/2,0 ml rotor fitted with an aerosol-tight ClickSeal lid for contained sample handling. Run times can be set from 1 to 99 min in 1 min steps, with a HOLD function for continuous operation; typical noise level is 56 dB(A). Electrical requirements are 230 V, 50/60 Hz. External dimensions are 22,5 × 24,3 × 35,2 cm and the net weight is 10,5 kg, supporting placement on crowded laboratory benches. This microcentrifuge from manufacturer Thermo Scientific is intended for ambient-temperature protocols and is described as conforming to IEC 61010-1, IEC 61010-2-020, with CSA certification, CE marking and IVD conformity as stated by the manufacturer. The complete unit is offered as a single piece for molecular biology, clinical and general research workflows that need a dedicated small-footprint microcentrifuge with rotor included.
This article is part of Rotors, in Centrifuges.

Questions about Pico™ 21 Microcentrifuge
What is this article?
Pico™ 21 Microcentrifuge is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Thermo Scientific - Equipment LED for laboratory use. It sits in Rotors, inside Centrifuges, in Lab instruments.
A centrifuge rotor is the rotating part that holds the tubes, and it is rated for a maximum speed and a maximum load. A swing-out rotor and a fixed-angle rotor pellet differently. A rotor from another centrifuge does not belong on this drive, even when it seems to fit.
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.
