Product Description
The Gyrozen mini (GZ-1312) is a compact air-ventilated microcentrifuge for routine molecular biology work. It reaches 13,500 rpm (12,300 x g) and holds 12 x 1.5/2.0 mL tubes, 10 x 18 mL cryotubes or 4 x 8-tube PCR strips. A patented anti-vibration system and air-cooling keep it under 56 dB. Supplied with a plastic-lid fixed-angle rotor for 12 x 2.0 mL and a set of 0.2 mL adaptors.
