The MC-24 Touch is a high-speed microcentrifuge controlled from a full-color touch screen that shows actual speed in rpm or rcf alongside set and remaining time. It spins from 200 to 13,500 rpm (100 to 16,800 × g). The included COMBI-Rotor with lid holds 24 × 1.5/2.0 mL tubes, two 0.2 mL PCR strips (16 tubes) or up to 12 spin columns without adapters, and an optional 8-place rotor takes 5 mL and cryo tubes. Nine speed/time profiles can be stored, with one assigned to the mySpin icon for one-touch recall.
