Fisher Scientific AccuSpin Micro 17R Refrigerated Microcentrifuge with Fixed Angle Rotor

The Fisher Scientific AccuSpin Micro 17R is a benchtop refrigerated microcentrifuge designed for precise separation of small-volume samples commonly used in biotechnology and molecular diagnostics. It spins up to 13,300 RPM delivering a maximum relative centrifugal force (RCF) of 17,000 × g, achieving rapid acceleration within 12 seconds. The unit accommodates 24 tubes of 1.5/2.0 ml in a fixed angle rotor, making it essential for workflows involving molecular cloning, gene editing, and bioprocessing sample preparation.

Key technical features include:

• Refrigeration range: from -9°C to 40°C, with efficient cooling to -9°C in approximately 9 minutes, preserving sample integrity in temperature-sensitive applications such as live-cell imaging and synthetic biology.
• Microprocessor-controlled programming via push buttons for precise run settings, supporting repeatable protocols critical in molecular biology and clinical diagnostics.
• ClickSeal biocontainment rotor lid made of PPSU (polyphenylsulfone) providing chemical resistance and enhanced sample safety by securely sealing samples during high-speed centrifugation.
• Compact design dimensions of 18 x 11 x 13 inches and whisper-quiet operation at noise levels below 56 dBA, optimizing lab space and reducing environmental disturbance.
• Powered by standard 120V, 60Hz, 3.9A supply; weighs 62 lbs for benchtop convenience in biomanufacturing and laboratory environments.

This refrigerated centrifuge is widely adopted in molecular biology research, biotechnology labs, and clinical settings for its reliability and performance in critical sample processing steps, including plasmid isolation, RNA extraction, and protein purification. Its fixed angle rotor and rapid cooling capabilities make it an indispensable instrument in biopharmaceutical production pipelines and molecular diagnostics laboratories.
