Product description

High speed benchtop centrifuge reaching 15,000 rpm and 16,100 x g, ideal for DNA/RNA extraction and cell separation.

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.

Why Questpair exists

Lab equipment markets are fragmented. Buyers spend weeks calling distributors, comparing quotes, and verifying supplier reliability. Sellers struggle to reach global research labs.

We built Questpair to fix this. Every supplier on the platform is verified before listing. Every quote you receive comes from a real, vetted seller. AI prepares your case in minutes, then a real specialist takes over.

We're an independent team based in The Netherlands, working with research labs and procurement teams across Europe and worldwide.

Frequently asked questions

How long does laboratory equipment typically last?

With a service contract, ten to fifteen years is normal for most benchtop instruments. Detectors and pumps are the parts that wear first.

Can I get service for older equipment?

Often, yes. Verified suppliers frequently work with service partners converting the instrument. If applicable, we can list servicing options alongside the offer.

Where can I buy parts?

Ask a scientist through the request button. Parts are often available even when the instrument itself is discontinued.

What is the typical lead time for refurbished equipment?

Two to six weeks, depending on refurbishment scope and whether calibration is included.

Does laboratory equipment ship internationally?

We ship to 38 countries. Crating and customs handling are quoted with the instrument.
