Frequently Asked Questions
Which tube sizes fit the rotor?
Both the 12-place and 24-place rotors accept standard 1.5 mL and 2.0 mL microcentrifuge tubes. The rotor and lid are included with every unit.
What is the difference between the GCM-24 voltage variants?
All three 24-place models are functionally identical; they differ only by power input and plug. GCM-24 is 120V/60Hz US, while GCM-24-EU and GCM-24-UK are 230V/50Hz with EU and UK plugs respectively.
Does the 12-place model work internationally?
Yes. GCM-12 accepts universal 120–240V at 50/60Hz and ships with US, UK, and EU plug options, making it suitable for multi-region facilities.
How should I clean the centrifuge?
Wipe surfaces with aqueous buffers or alcohol-based cleaners. Avoid aromatic and chlorinated solvents on housing surfaces, and clean spills of acids or bases promptly.
