Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q1: What is the main difference between MC-5Pro and MC-7Pro? A: The MC-7Pro offers higher max speed (7000 rpm) and RCF (3286 × g) for faster, more powerful separation, while the MC-5Pro (5000 rpm, 1680 × g) suits lower-speed applications. Both share the same compact design, rotors, noise level, and features like filtration and voltage regulation.

Q2: Can this mini centrifuge handle PCR strips and plates? A: Yes — the multi rotor accommodates 0.2 mL 8-strip PCR tubes (×4) and 0.2/0.5/1.5/2 mL microtubes (×12). (Note: A dedicated microplate rotor for 96-well plates is available in select variants like MPC-5Pro.)

Q3: Is it suitable for blood separation or hematocrit testing? A: Absolutely — both models include a hematocrit rotor for 40 mm capillary tubes (×12), ideal for blood cell packing and hematocrit determination in clinical labs.

Q4: How quiet is the operation, and does it vibrate much? A: Extremely quiet at ≤47 dB(A) with super low vibration, thanks to precise engineering and PI/PWM control — perfect for shared or quiet lab environments.

Q5: What power supply does it require, and is it safe for international use? A: It supports wide-range AC 100-240 V input (with DC 24 V option), making it compatible worldwide without needing a separate transformer.

Q6: How do I change rotors? A: Rotors are designed for easy, tool-free replacement — simply open the lid, lift out the current rotor, and securely attach the desired one.

Q7: What maintenance is required? A: Minimal — clean the exterior and rotor chamber regularly, avoid corrosive samples, and ensure proper tube balancing to maintain performance and longevity.

Q8: Is timing adjustable, and what is the range? A: Yes, both models feature timer settings from 10 seconds to 99 minutes via the LCD display for precise, repeatable runs.

Q9: Can it be used for quick spin-downs only, or full protocols? A: Versatile for both — ideal for fast spin-downs (e.g., tube wall condensate) as well as timed runs for sample separation and preparation.

Q10: Does it come with rotors included? A: Yes — standard multi rotor and hematocrit rotor are included; additional rotors can be purchased separately for expanded use.
