What You Gain in Day-to-Day Use

• Less upkeep: The brushless DC motor is maintenance-free and robust enough for extended runs, so there is one less thing to schedule.
• Safer handling: Imbalance detection and the lid lock work together during operation. When the run ends, the lid opens automatically.
• A calmer workspace: The airflow design generates less heat, and noise stays below 60 dB.
• Reliable records: The unit stores up to 99 programs and saves operation records in an Excel sheet, which makes protocol review much simpler.

What Sets Mini Centrifuge Apart

Compact centrifuges often force a choice between speed and ease of use. The Rondo doesn’t. It covers 500 to 15000 RPM and offers a timer from 30 seconds to 999 minutes, plus an infinity mode for open-ended runs. Beyond the numbers, a few practical details make the difference:

• Easy monitoring: The large backlit LCD displays several parameters at once, so you can confirm your settings at a glance.
• Faster repeat runs: The last-run memory means you don’t have to re-enter a protocol you have just used.
• Remote operation: The unit supports remote operation.
• Flexible tube handling: The pre-installed 12-slot aluminium rotor takes 2.0 mL tubes, while a 2×8 rotor accommodates PCR strips. Reduction adaptors cover 0.1/0.2 mL and 0.4/0.5 mL tubes.

Where It Fits: Applications by Setting

Because of its rotor options and environmental compatibility, this mini centrifuge adapts well to different working conditions:

• Molecular biology labs: Routine runs such as spin column preparations take minimal time and effort.
• PCR and amplification work: The PCR strip rotor and 0.1/0.2 mL adaptors handle small-volume tubes and strips.
• Cold-room facilities: The unit is compatible with cold rooms, so it can sit where samples are stored cold.
• Fume hood workflows: Fume hood compatibility allows use alongside volatile or hazardous reagents.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Does it have the capability of spinning PCR strips like microtubes?

Yes. There is a 2×8 rotor that will accommodate 0.1/0.2 mL PCR strips, while the supplied rotor will accommodate 2.0 mL microtubes.

2. What will happen if the load is uneven?

There is an imbalance detector provided along with the lid-locking feature, which acts as the secondary protection against imbalance during spinning.

3. Can it be used inside the cold room or the fume hood?

Yes, it is safe to use in both places.

4. How do we maintain run records for future audit purposes?

The operation records are maintained using an Excel sheet, and up to 99 programs can be stored.

5. What is the maximum speed achieved by the rotor?

At 15000 RPM, RCF is 15596 x g.
