Fisher Scientific AccuSpin Micro 17 Benchtop High-Speed Microcentrifuge

The Fisher Scientific AccuSpin Micro 17 is a compact benchtop microcentrifuge engineered for high-speed centrifugation of microtubes, widely used in molecular biology, biotechnology, and clinical diagnostics. Equipped with a 24-place fixed-angle rotor, it accommodates up to 24 tubes of 1.5 mL or 2.0 mL, supporting a total volume capacity of 48 mL. The instrument achieves a maximum relative centrifugal force (RCF) of 17,000 x g at a top speed of 13,300 rpm, suitable for rapid pelleting and separation in gene editing, synthetic biology applications, and bioprocessing workflows.

The centrifuge features a maintenance-free brushless motor ensuring consistent performance with minimal downtime, critical for high-throughput molecular cloning and biomanufacturing pipelines. User-friendly digital controls and a front-mounted microprocessor allow precise timing from 1 to 99 minutes, enhancing operational flexibility for short spins or extended protocols necessary in molecular diagnostics.

Safety and sample integrity are prioritized with an auto-lock lid and an optional ClickSeal biocontainment lid, providing containment for biohazardous samples and compliance with laboratory safety standards. The unit’s compact footprint (14 x 9 x 9 inches) and lightweight design (24 lbs) make it ideal for laboratories with limited bench space focused on live-cell imaging preparation, fluorescence analysis sample spins, or general sample preparation.

Power requirements are standard at 120 V, 50/60 Hz, compatible with most laboratory electrical systems. Included with the centrifuge are the 24-place rotor with lid, user manual, and power cord, supported by a 30-day warranty ensuring reliability.

The AccuSpin Micro 17 microcentrifuge is essential for researchers in molecular biology and biotechnology fields, delivering high-speed microcentrifugation performance critical in bioprocessing, molecular cloning workflows, and biopharmaceutical production pipelines, widely adopted for downstream sample preparation in synthetic biology and clinical research environments.
