Pico 21 Microcentrifuge

Thermo Scientific™ Pico 21 Microcentrifuge: Performance and Versatility for Modern Laboratories

The Thermo Scientific™ Pico 21 Microcentrifuge is designed to meet the needs of demanding laboratories, offering a unique combination of performance, versatility and ease of use. This microcentrifuge stands out for its ability to accelerate quickly, reaching high speeds in just a few seconds, reducing centrifugation times by up to 20%. This feature is particularly valuable for advanced research applications where efficiency and precision are crucial.

The Pico 21 is equipped with lightweight technical polymer rotors, offering exceptional corrosion resistance, even when exposed to aggressive reagents. This durability ensures a long service life for the equipment and minimises maintenance costs. The rotors are available in several configurations, allowing a variety of tube sizes to be processed, including tubes from 0.2 mL to 5 mL. This versatility eliminates the need for additional adapters, simplifying laboratory protocols.

One of the most notable features of the Pico 21 is its ClickSeal™ closure system, which ensures certified biocontainment. This system allows for quick and secure opening and closing of the rotors, reducing the risk of contamination and improving user safety. In addition, the transparent PPSU lids allow for easy visualisation of samples, adding an extra layer of safety and convenience.

The Pico 21 is also designed to be ergonomic and easy to use. Its intuitive controls and bright display make it easy to program and monitor centrifugation parameters. Operating noise is minimal, creating a safer and less stressful working environment. Furthermore, the Pico 21 complies with the latest clinical and safety standards, including Directive 98/79/EC on in vitro diagnostic devices.

The Thermo Scientific™ Pico 21 Microcentrifuge is a state-of-the-art piece of laboratory equipment that combines performance, versatility and ease of use. Whether for complex research protocols or routine tasks, the Pico 21 is an indispensable tool for modern laboratories, offering unrivalled efficiency and precision.
