Simply place your centrifuge down on your bench and get started with reliable centrifugation of microplates, cell cultures and samples in a wide range of volumes. The benchtop centrifuges on offer from Pathtech provide the convenience of a benchtop solution and the premium performance you would expect from an industry-leading centrifuge.
Product Code: 032-C3303-6HP-E
Benchtop centrifuges offer a practical solution for everyday lab workflows where space, flexibility and performance matter. Key advantages include:
Our benchtop centrifuges are trusted by professionals in diverse settings, including:
Selecting the right centrifuge depends on your lab's unique needs. Key factors to consider include:
Different rotors support different sample formats: fixed-angle rotors for rapid pelleting, swing-out rotors for precise sedimentation and specialised rotors for microplates or cell culture tubes.
Consider the required revolutions per minute (RPM) and relative centrifugal force (RCF) for your applications. High-speed models are suitable for molecular biology and protein work, while general clinical use may only need moderate speeds.
Evaluate the volume and number of samples you'll process regularly. Our benchtop centrifuges accommodate tubes from 0.2 mL up to 250 mL, with multiple bucket and adapter configurations.
If working with temperature-sensitive samples, such as enzymes or live cells, choose a refrigerated model for consistent temperature regulation during runs.
In shared or quiet environments, look for benchtop centrifuges with low-noise motors and automatic imbalance detection to ensure safe and smooth operation.
Ensure your centrifuge includes key safety features, such as automatic lid locks, imbalance protection and certification for clinical or research use.

A benchtop centrifuge is a compact device that uses centrifugal force to separate components in liquid samples based on density. When a sample is spun at high speed, denser particles move outward to the bottom of the tube, while lighter components remain near the top. This process is essential for separating plasma, isolating cells or purifying nucleic acids.
Benchtop centrifuges can handle a wide variety of sample types, including blood, urine, cell suspensions, protein solutions, bacterial cultures and even environmental or food samples, depending on the rotor and tube compatibility.
Most models support sample volumes ranging from as little as 0.2 mL (e.g., PCR tubes) up to 250 mL per tube, depending on the rotor configuration. Multi-bucket rotors can process numerous tubes at once, ideal for high-throughput workflows.
Yes. Our benchtop centrifuges are selected for high reliability, user safety and application flexibility, making them suitable for both clinical pathology labs and demanding research settings. Many models meet diagnostic and compliance requirements for medical and scientific use.
Pathtech offers centrifuges with fixed-angle rotors, swing-out (horizontal) rotors, microplate rotors and adapters for a wide range of tube sizes. This flexibility allows you to tailor the unit to different protocols as your lab evolves.
Start by assessing your sample type, required speed/RCF and volume. Consider whether temperature control is necessary and which rotors your workflows require. Our team can help match you with the best model to support your current and future needs.
Most models include features such as:
These features help protect users and maintain operational integrity.
Yes. Many of our benchtop centrifuges can be fitted with microplate rotors or swing-out rotors with carriers for cell culture tubes and flasks. This versatility makes them ideal for tissue culture labs, molecular biology and ELISA preparation.
Routine maintenance includes:
Pathtech offers on-demand support to keep your equipment running smoothly.
Yes. All Pathtech benchtop centrifuges are backed by manufacturer warranties and supported by our technical service team. We offer installation assistance, preventative maintenance, repairs and access to genuine spare parts.
