Microfuge

Microfuges are essential tools for laboratories that require small-scale sample centrifugation with fast turnaround. Be Scientific offers a range of Kern and DLAB models engineered for both convenience and high performance.

The DLAB D1008 Mini Centrifuge: Features a compact, light design with a maximum speed of 7,000 rpm (2,680 × g). It supports quick rotor exchange, operates at noise levels under 45 dB, and comes standard with a dual rotor set for both microtubes and PCR strips 

The Sigma 1-14 Microcentrifuge: A powerful 24-place model capable of 14,800 rpm (16,600 × g). It includes soft start and soft stop functions, motorised lid locking, overspeed monitoring, and remains impressively quiet at under 54 dB - making it a reliable choice for molecular biology labs 

Sigma 1-16K refrigerated microcentrifuge: For temperature-sensitive applications, the Sigma 1-16K refrigerated microcentrifuge delivers speeds up to 15,000 rpm (20,600 × g) and maintains temperatures from -10 °C to +40 °C. It stores up to ten custom programs, features a motorised lid lock, includes a viewing window in the lid, and operates in an energy-saving ECO mode 

These microfuges are built for precision, safety, and convenience. Whether you're preparing DNA, pelleting cells, or performing quick spins, our team in Shropshire can guide you toward the model you need that fits your space, speed, and thermal control needs.

FAQs

How fast do these microfuges spin?
Speeds range from 7,000 rpm (2,680 × g) for the compact DLAB model, to 14,800 - 15,000 rpm (over 16,000–20,600 × g) for higher-capacity Sigma options.

Are there refrigerated options available?
Yes. The Sigma 1-16K offers full temperature control from - 10 °C to +40 °C for heat-sensitive samples.

How quiet are these units?
The DLAB model operates under 45 dB, while the Sigma 1-14 stays below 54 dB - both suitable for quiet lab environments.

Can I program the runs?
The Sigma 1-16K allows storage of up to ten custom programs for repeatable protocols; the Sigma 1-14 supports straightforward operation with soft start and stop
