industry segment

Category 01 · Microcentrifuges
Bench-top microcentrifuges for 1.5/2.0 mL tubes and PCR strips.
Fast spins and dedicated routine runs. Quarter-twist rotor lock on several models reduces wrist strain during high sample throughput. Refrigerated variants (M15R, 1848R) protect heat-sensitive samples.
| Model | Max rpm | Max RCF | Capacity | Cooling |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| OT-mini 6 | 6 500 | 2 234 × g | 6 × 1.5/2.0 mL + 2 PCR strips | — |
| OT-1312 | 13 500 | 12 300 × g | 12 × 1.5/2.0 mL | — |
| OT-M15S | 15 000 | 21 206 × g | 24 × 1.5/2.0 mL | — |
| OT-M15R | 15 000 | 21 583 × g | 24 × 1.5/2.0 mL | −10 → 40 °C |
| OT-1848R | 18 000 | 30 356 × g | 48 × 1.5/2.0 mL · swing-out 6 × 4 | −12 → 40 °C |

Category 02 · Multipurpose centrifuges
Bench-top centrifuges with fixed-angle and swing-out rotors.
One centrifuge, many matrices. Programme memory (10–100 programmes), pulse function and ACC/DEC ramping provide reproducible runs between operators. OT-1696R II has Snap-On bucket lock and runs 4 × 1,000 mL swing-out.

| OT-1580R | 15 000 | 25 910 × g | 4 × 750 mL | −20 → 40 °C |
| OT-1696R II | 16 000 | 27 991 × g | 4 × 1 000 mL | −11 → 40 °C |

Category 03 · High-speed · Floor-standing
High volume at high g-forces — floor-standing with refrigeration.
When both volume and g-force are required. OT-S22R reaches 22,000 rpm and 52,000 × g; OT-S12R offers the same platform at a calmer 12,000 rpm for routine applications. Both are refrigerated and feature key-lock and a FAST cool button for rapid pre-cooling.
| Model | Max rpm | Max RCF | Fixed-angle capacity | Cooling |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| OT-S12R | 12 000 | 22 265 × g | 6 × 1 000 mL | −10 → 40 °C |
| OT-S22R | 22 000 | 52 001 × g | 4 × 1 000 mL | −10 → 40 °C |

Category 04 · Low-speed centrifuges
Gentle separation of vacuum tubes and 50 mL tubes.
For daily sediment and phase separations where lower g-forces are sufficient. OT-T04 in standard configuration, OT-T04B with swing-out support, OT-T05R in refrigerated version for heat-sensitive matrices in sample preparation.
| Model | Max rpm | Max RCF | Capacity | Cooling |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| OT-T04 | 4 000 | 2 075 × g | 12 × vacuum tubes | — |
| OT-T04B | 4 000 | 2 774 × g | 10 × 50 mL fixed-angle · 4 × 100 mL swing-out | — |
| OT-T05R | 5 000 | 4 218 × g | 10 × 50 mL fixed-angle · 4 × 100 mL swing-out | −10 → 40 °C |

Category 05 · Clinical · IVDR
GZ-416 — IVDR-certified benchtop centrifuge for routine preparation.
Manufactured to IVDR with motorised lid, rotor ID and lockable user interface. Large capacities for a benchtop unit: 16 × 15 mL or 10 × 50 mL fixed-angle and 4 × 100 mL swing-out. A good fit for clinical labs that also conduct research.
| Model | Max rpm | Max RCF | Capacity | Certification |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| GZ-416 | 4 000 | 2 826 × g (swing-out) | 16 × 15 mL or 10 × 50 mL · swing-out 4 × 100 mL | IVDR |
