Speed runs from 500 to 15,000 rpm in 100 rpm or 100 rcf steps, with 10 second acceleration and 12 second deceleration. The aluminum rotor takes 1.5\/2.0 mL tubes directly and 0.5 mL or 0.2 mL tubes with optional adapters. A single knob and LCD set time from 20 seconds to 99 minutes or continuous, a separate button gives momentary spins, and the unit is cold room safe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e500–15,000 rpm, up to 16,100 × g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12 × 1.5\/2.0 mL rotor;
