Eppendorf 5424 Centrifuge | Cambridge Scientific The Eppendorf 5424 and its equivalents (Centurion K2802, Mini Spin, VWR CS4) are compact laboratory microcentrifuges designed for high-speed separation of biological samples, reaching up to ( ) with 24-place capacity. These, along with the TGL-16A from China, are typically used for molecular biology, cell separation, and centrifuge tubes ranging from .
Key Features and Equivalents:
- Eppendorf 5424 / 5424 R: 24-place capacity for 1.5/2.0 mL tubes, 15,000 rpm (21,130 x g). Available in refrigerated (5424 R) or non-refrigerated models.
- Eppendorf MiniSpin / MiniSpin plus: Compact, 12-place capacity, 13,400 rpm (12,100 x g) / 14,500 rpm (14,100 x g).
- VWR CS4 / Centurion K2802: Typically designed for similar microvolume tasks, often used in hematology or basic research.
- TGL-16A (China): Often used as a cost-effective alternative for similar microcentrifugation tasks.
