The Thermo Scientific™ Pico™ and Fresco™ 17 microcentrifuges are excellent for routine laboratory work, while the Pico and Fresco 21 microcentrifuges are ideal for high-end research applications, reducing spin times by up to 20%.
Perform both complex and simple protocols
The standard rotor runs 24 tubes in a single row with equalized g-forces for reproducibility, from 1.5 to 2.0 ml tubes to mini-preps and spin columns}Eliminate the need for adapters with the unique dual row rotor, which holds 18 tubes of both 1.5/2.0 mL and 0.5 in the same run}
Maximize your micro-volume capacity with the new10 x 5 mL rotor with ClickSeal biocontainment lid, separating samples at g-force up to 20,326 x g}Wide variety of rotors support 0.5 mL microtubes,0.2 mL PCR tubes and hematocrit capillary tubes
Ideal for everyday laboratory use
High-performance engineered polymer rotors are designed for outstanding chemical resistance to minimize corrosion from aggressive reagents}ClickSeal biocontainment lids shorten retrieval time with one-click opening, compared to screw-on lids
Transparent PPSU rotor lids enable viewing for added safety and convenience}Quiet performance (<56 dBA ventilated and <50 dBArefrigerated) promotes a safe and reduced stress environment}
Conforms to the latest clinical and safety standards, including98/79/EC In Vitro Diagnostic Directive
