Globe Scientific GCM-12 High-Speed Benchtop Microcentrifuge with 15,000 rpm Max Speed
Product Description
The Globe Scientific GCM-12 is a high-speed benchtop microcentrifuge engineered for precision centrifugation in biotechnology, molecular diagnostics, clinical laboratories, and bioprocessing environments. Designed to support downstream workflows such as DNA extraction, molecular cloning, and blood sample preparation, it delivers reliable performance for routine and specialized applications.
Key technical features include:
- Speed range: 500 to 15,000 rpm adjustable in 100 rpm increments, achieving a maximum relative centrifugal force (RCF) of 15,100 x g, critical for rapid sedimentation of microtubes.
- Rotor capacity: Twelve-position rotor accommodates 1.5 / 2.0 mL microcentrifuge tubes; optional adapters enable processing of 0.2 / 0.5 mL tubes, supporting diverse sample volumes in synthetic biology and clinical research.
- Motor type: Brushless DC motor ensures quiet operation (<54 dB) and extended service life with minimal maintenance.
- Control and display: Large LCD with speed/RCF switch, pulse spin function for rapid sample processing, and audible alerts enhance usability and precision.
- Safety systems: Includes door interlock, excessive speed and temperature detection, and automatic self-diagnostics to comply with laboratory safety standards and protect samples.
- Performance: Rapid acceleration (11 sec) and braking (9 sec) times improve throughput in busy lab settings; continuous or timed run modes (30 sec to 99 min).
- Size and power: Compact footprint (255 x 245 x 140 mm) and power consumption of 100 W fit typical laboratory benchtops.
The GCM-12 microcentrifuge is widely adopted for critical applications in clinical diagnostics, biotechnology research, and biomanufacturing, where precise centrifugation is essential. Its versatility, safety features, and compatibility with standard microtubes make it invaluable for workflows in molecular biology, gene editing, and biopharmaceutical development.
By combining high-speed centrifugation with user-friendly operation and advanced safety mechanisms, the GCM-12 is a reliable instrument fundamental for biomedical engineering and synthetic biology laboratories requiring efficient pelleting, phase separation, and sample purification.
