Thermo Scientific Fresco 21 Refrigerated Microcentrifuge with Variable Rotor Capability

The Thermo Scientific Fresco 21 Micro 21R refrigerated microcentrifuge offers high-speed microcentrifugation combined with an active cooling system, optimized for biotechnology applications such as molecular diagnostics and bioprocessing workflows. Operating at a maximum speed of 14,800 rpm and achieving centrifugal force up to 21,100 x g, it efficiently processes micro-volumes with capacity for 24 x 1.5/2 mL tubes.

Key features include:

• Rotor flexibility with support for seven rotor types, including microtube and PCR strip formats, enabling adaptability for diverse sample preparations in synthetic biology and gene editing research.
• Compact benchtop design (13 x 11 x 17 inches, 62 lbs) suitable for space-constrained laboratories performing live-cell imaging sample preparations or biomanufacturing process monitoring.
• Temperature range from -9°C to +40°C, providing precise refrigeration critical for temperature-sensitive protocols in molecular cloning workflows and clinical diagnostics.
• Fast acceleration to max speed within approximately 12 seconds, with an additional pulse mode for short manual spins facilitating quick sample processing.
• User-friendly digital interface with simplified controls enhances operational efficiency in biotechnology labs.
• Noise level maintained at 56 dBA, supporting placement in shared lab environments without disturbance.
• Safety guaranteed by a bio-containment click-seal lid, reducing contamination risk and enabling frequent lid opening during protocol runs.

This refrigerated benchtop microcentrifuge is widely adopted in synthetic biology research and biomedical engineering, making it critical in biopharmaceutical production pipelines and molecular biology laboratories requiring reliable and versatile microcentrifugation solutions.
