Description
Description
The Globe Scientific GCM Series Microcentrifuge (Manufacturer #GCM-12) is a high-speed benchtop centrifuge engineered for molecular biology, clinical diagnostics, chemistry, and life science applications. Featuring a variable speed range up to 15,000 RPM (15,100 x g), it delivers rapid separations for microtubes, making it ideal for DNA, RNA, and protein extraction workflows.
Powered by a brushless DC motor, the GCM-12 ensures quiet, maintenance-free operation with smooth acceleration and braking. The centrifuge includes a 12-place fixed angle rotor for 1.5 mL or 2.0 mL tubes, with optional adapters available for 0.2 mL and 0.5 mL tubes.
Its digital control panel allows precise adjustment of speed and run time, while the LCD display ensures visibility and easy operation. The run time range extends from 30 seconds to 99 minutes, or continuous operation for longer protocols.
Compact, efficient, and user-friendly, the GCM-12 is an excellent choice for labs requiring reliable high-speed microcentrifugation in a small footprint.
