Choosing a centrifuge by RPM alone is one of the easiest ways to buy the wrong model. Your centrifuge may have a high speed rating, but it will not help if the rotor cannot hold your tubes, if the adapter does not support the tube body, or if capped tubes are too tall for the bucket.
Should your lab pay more for a refrigerated centrifuge, or is a non-refrigerated model enough? This is one of the most common questions in centrifuge purchasing.
The wrong centrifuge rotor can slow down your workflow, make sample recovery harder, or even cause tube compatibility problems.
Choosing the right PRP centrifuge is not only about price or maximum RPM.
