Many processes within the laboratory require the use of at least one centrifuge. For example, a small PCR or DNA modification reaction may require a five second'spin down’ on a simple fixed rotor desktop instrument. Separating cell components on the other hand may require a large, refrigerated, centrifuge with a swing-out rotor. Between these two extremes is a plethora of small, medium and large centrifuges, all designed to meet the specific needs of growing markets.
