Beckman Coulter Microfuge 20R Refrigerated High-Speed Microcentrifuge

The Beckman Coulter Microfuge 20R is a laboratory-grade refrigerated microcentrifuge engineered for high-speed benchtop sample processing in molecular biology, biotechnology, and clinical diagnostics. It delivers a maximum rotor speed of 15,000 rpm and a maximum relative centrifugal force (RCF) of 20,627 x g, enabling efficient separation of nucleic acids, proteins, and cell debris—critical for bioprocessing and molecular cloning workflows.

Key technical features include:

• Refrigeration range from -10°C to +40°C in 1°C increments, ensuring optimal temperature control for sensitive samples used in gene editing and synthetic biology applications.
• Maximum capacity of 72 mL, accommodating higher throughput while maintaining a compact footprint suitable for shared lab benches.
• Microprocessor-controlled operation with support for up to 10 user-defined programs, facilitating reproducible protocols in molecular diagnostics and biomanufacturing pipelines.
• Fast and soft acceleration/deceleration profiles, allowing either rapid run times or gentle pellet handling essential for preserving sample integrity in live-cell imaging and fluorescence analysis.
• User interface displays both actual rotor speed and RCF, allowing operators to monitor parameters relevant to diverse research protocols in biomedical engineering and clinical research.

The unit’s small size (12x26x12 inches, weighing 70 lbs) and low noise output (<59 dBA) make it ideal for routine R&D, sample preparation, and biotechnological workflows requiring reliable and precise centrifugation without the footprint of a floor model.

Its environmental tolerance includes operation at altitudes up to 2000 m and ambient temperatures between 5 and 40°C with humidity below 80% (noncondensing), supporting flexible use in varied lab environments. Power requirements are 120VAC, 5.3A, 60Hz.

Widely adopted in laboratories focused on biotechnology, molecular diagnostics, and biopharmaceutical production, the Beckman Coulter Microfuge 20R is essential for gene editing sample prep, cell fractionation, and biochemical purification steps. It enables critical downstream processes such as nucleic acid extraction and protein concentration with precise temperature and speed control.

This refrigerated microcentrifuge is a trusted instrument for researchers requiring high performance in biotech and clinical domains, making it a core tool in advanced molecular biology and bioprocessing laboratories.
