This benchtop laboratory centrifuge spins up to 4000rpm with knob stepless speed control and a 0 to 60 minute timer, and holds 6 tubes of 10ml each. It comes as the 900-2 with timer and speed knobs, or the 900-1S with an LED display showing speed and time, and is a compact low speed machine for separating solutions by centrifugal force on a workshop bench or in a teaching lab.
Features and benefits:
- Up to 4000rpm with stepless knob speed regulation: set the speed that suits the sample instead of a fixed step
- Timer from 0 to 60 minutes with a buzzer at the end: start a run and come back to it
- 6 x 10ml tube capacity and up to 2086xg centrifugal force: a practical load for routine low speed separation
- High-strength ABS engineering plastic rotor: chosen by the supplier to help protect tubes from damage
- Four rubber suction feet on the base: help the unit grip the bench and stay put while it runs
- 900-1S shows speed and time on a red LED display; 900-2 has a soundproof cover, TIMED knob and SPEED knob
- Low noise, 60dB or less, and vibration under 0.6mm/s: steadier running on a shared bench
Applications:
- Separating layers in solutions in school, college and workshop laboratories
- Chemistry and biochemistry bench work with small tube loads
- Cosmetics, food and brewing sample preparation
- Teaching centrifugal separation in practical classes
In the box:
1 x electric centrifuge (model and plug type as selected in the options).
Note: Tubes must be loaded in balanced opposite pairs, and the lid must be closed before running. Choose the plug option that matches your supply: the UK 230V option is the one to pick for UK mains. Colour and sizes may differ slightly from the pictures.

Q: What is a laboratory centrifuge used for? A: It spins tubes so that centrifugal force separates the contents of a solution into layers. This benchtop model reaches 4000rpm and holds 6 tubes of 10ml.. Q: What is the difference between the 900-2 and the 900-1S? A: The 900-1S shows speed and time on a red LED display. The 900-2 uses a TIMED knob and a SPEED knob and has a soundproof cover. Both list 4000rpm and a 0 to 60 minute timer.. Q: How many centrifuge tubes does it hold? A: The rotor has six tube positions and the stated capacity is 6 x 10ml.. Q: Is it a microcentrifuge? A: No. It is a low speed benchtop centrifuge with a 4000rpm top speed and 10ml tube positions, rather than a small microtube unit.. Q: Does it have a timer? A: Yes, the timer runs from 0 to 60 minutes and a buzzer sounds when the time is up..
