Laboratory centrifuges
Which types of laboratory centrifuges are available?
Different types of centrifuges are used within laboratories depending on sample volume, speed requirements and application. Microcentrifuges are commonly used for PCR workflows and molecular biology, while benchtop centrifuges are suitable for routine laboratory applications in QA/QC, clinical analysis and research laboratories. Refrigerated centrifuges are used when temperature-sensitive samples must remain protected during centrifugation.
- Microcentrifuges for small sample volumes and molecular biology
- Mini centrifuges for quick spin-down applications
- Benchtop centrifuges for routine laboratory workflows
- Refrigerated centrifuges for temperature-sensitive samples
- High-speed centrifuges for advanced laboratory applications

FAQ laboratory centrifuges
What is the difference between a microcentrifuge and a benchtop centrifuge?
A microcentrifuge is designed for small sample volumes such as microtubes and PCR applications, while benchtop centrifuges generally support larger volumes and broader laboratory applications.
When is a refrigerated centrifuge required?
A refrigerated centrifuge is used when temperature-sensitive samples must remain protected during centrifugation, for example in biotechnology, blood analysis or protein research workflows.
Which laboratories use centrifuges?
Centrifuges are widely used in clinical laboratories, microbiology labs, universities, pharmaceutical laboratories, biotechnology facilities and QA/QC environments.
