Denville Scientific 260D Brushless Microcentrifuge

Description:

The Denville Scientific 260D Brushless Microcentrifuge is a high-performance, compact benchtop centrifuge designed for rapid, routine separation of liquid micro-samples in research, clinical, and molecular biology laboratories. Featuring a digital brushless motor, the unit operates exceptionally quietly and requires virtually no ongoing mechanical maintenance. It is fully cold-room compatible and incorporates a high-efficiency ventilation system that remains completely self-cooling—preventing critical biological samples (such as RNA, DNA, or proteins) from degrading due to heat buildup. The user interface allows seamless, one-touch toggling between rotational speed and relative centrifugal force (g-force), making it an invaluable tool for diagnostic triage, pharmaceutical processing, and biomedical laboratory tasks.
