VWR C1603 High Speed Benchtop Centrifuge with Fixed-Angle Rotor

The VWR C1603 High Speed Benchtop Centrifuge is a compact, lightweight laboratory centrifuge designed for efficient sample processing in clinical diagnostics, molecular biology, and biotechnology research. Operating at speeds up to 15,000 rpm with a maximum relative centrifugal force (RCF) of 16,100 x g, it provides rapid and precise centrifugation essential for applications such as DNA/RNA extraction, cell separation, and bioprocessing workflows.

Key technical specifications include:

• Fixed-angle rotor accommodating up to 12 x 1.5/2.0 mL microtubes, optimized for microcentrifuge applications.
• Fast acceleration and deceleration times of 11 seconds each, minimizing total run time and enhancing throughput.
• Adjustable timer settings ranging from 20 seconds to 99 minutes, including continuous operation mode for workflow flexibility.
• Quiet operation minimizing laboratory noise interference, suitable for sensitive environments.
• Safety features such as a locking lid mechanism that prevents lid opening prior to full rotor stop and imbalance detection to protect samples and equipment.

The compact footprint (11 x 9 x 7 inches) and moderate weight (10 lbs) enable easy integration into benchtop setups for routine centrifugation in molecular diagnostics, synthetic biology research, and biomanufacturing processes.

Included accessories:

• Fixed-angle rotor for microtubes (12 x 1.5/2 mL)
• User manual
• 115V, 60Hz power cord (4A)
• Standard 30-day warranty

The VWR C1603 centrifuge is a reliable and essential instrument widely adopted in biotechnology laboratories, supporting critical workflows in gene editing, molecular cloning, and bioprocessing pipelines requiring rapid, high-speed centrifugation.
