The MIKRO 120 is utilized for sample preparation in the field of molecular biology. Designed by Hettich, this compact device is the smallest member of their microcentrifuge range. It has a capacity of 24 reaction tubes and is ideal for use by researchers in life sciences as a personal centrifuge. The MIKRO 120 can facilitate rapid and reliable separation steps needed for sample preparation in various molecular biology applications. The micro-centrifuge features a pulse button which can be pressed when performing very short centrifugation runs, such as to centrifuge down droplets. A pre-selected speed will be maintained and the centrifuge will run for as long as the button remains pressed down.
