The Thermo Scientific MT-12 microtube swing-out rotor is a unique swinging bucket rotor for 1.5/2 mL microtubes on the C Series compact centrifuges. Moreover, this rotor offers individual swinging buckets per microtube. In addition, the MT-12 reaches a maximum speed of 13,000 rpm and an RCF of 16,438 x g. As a result, this rotor delivers the highest RCF in the C Series swing-out segment.

Furthermore, the MT-12 stands out with its unique swing-out design for microtubes. Therefore, pellets form centrally at the bottom of the tube. Moreover, this configuration prevents the lateral pellet formation that is typical for fixed-angle microtube rotors. Additionally, centralised pellet formation enables more efficient supernatant removal after centrifugation.

In addition, the MT-12 supports both 1.5 mL and 2 mL microtubes plus filtration columns. Subsequently, you process small-volume research applications where pellet quality is crucial. Moreover, this rotor is ideal for molecular biology protocols such as DNA and RNA isolation. Furthermore, this rotor accommodates spin columns for nucleic acid purification.

Finally, the MT-12 offers an optional ClickSeal biocontainment lid for safe processing of biohazardous samples. Therefore, this rotor is suitable for laboratories that work with infectious genetic material or viral RNA. As a result, you combine high RCF, swing-out pellet quality and biocontainment in a single compact rotor.
