The Thermo Scientific M21 microcentrifuge delivers high performance for research applications. It combines speed, precision, and flexibility. Available in ventilated and refrigerated versions. Ideal for demanding laboratory workflows.
The Thermo Scientific M21 microcentrifuge is designed for laboratories with higher performance requirements. This model delivers fast centrifugation, high g-forces, and reproducible results. The M21 is suitable for applications such as nucleic acid isolation, protein research, and other demanding workflows.
With a maximum RCF of 21,100 x g and a maximum speed of 14,800 rpm, the M21 provides high performance in a compact footprint. Fast acceleration and deceleration reduce processing times and improve laboratory efficiency.
The centrifuge features a clear user interface with an easy-to-read display. Users can quickly adjust settings and monitor processes. The one-click lid closure ensures efficient and consistent daily operation.
The M21 supports ClickSeal biocontainment lids for safe sample handling. Transparent rotor lids improve visibility and operational safety. The system complies with current clinical and safety standards, including IVD regulations.
The M21 is available in multiple preconfigured packages, where rotors and accessories are defined per configuration. These packages are tailored to specific workflows and performance requirements.
The refrigerated version (MTR 21) features GreenCool technology with a natural refrigerant (R600a). This reduces energy consumption and environmental impact. The temperature can be set from -9 °C to +40 °C and reaches the target quickly.
