Direct Replacement for Thermo Fisher, Eppendorf, Benchmark & Corning Mini Centrifuges
Hawach mini centrifuges deliver equivalent or better performance for PCR and microtube workflows at a significantly lower procurement cost. Use the same rotors, same tube formats, and the same simple operation.
| Competitor Model | Hawach Equivalent | Key Specifications | Cost Advantage |
| Thermo Scientific™ Mini Centrifuge | Hawach standard mini centrifuge | 4,000-6,000 rpm, 6-position rotor, ≤60 dB | 30-40% lower |
| Eppendorf MiniSpin® / MiniSpin® plus | Hawach high-speed mini centrifuge | 12,000 rpm, 12-position rotor, timer, imbalance detection | 40% lower |
| Benchmark Scientific mini centrifuges (D1008, M1008) | Hawach dual-rotor mini centrifuge | Includes PCR strip rotor + microtube rotor, 5,000-7,000 rpm | 30% lower |
| Corning LSE™ Mini Microcentrifuge | Hawach standard mini centrifuge | 6,000 rpm, quiet operation, tool-free rotor change | 35% lower |
All Hawach mini centrifuges are compatible with standard 0.2/0.5/1.5/2.0 mL tubes and 8-strip PCR tubes – same workflow, no method revalidation required.
What Is a Mini Centrifuge (Microcentrifuge)?
A mini centrifuge (microcentrifuge) is a compact laboratory centrifuge designed for rapid spin-down of small-volume samples (0.2-2.0 mL) used in PCR, molecular biology, and clinical workflows. Compared with benchtop centrifuges, mini centrifuges prioritize speed, simplicity, and space-saving design rather than high-capacity processing.
Hawach mini centrifuges are widely used for:
- Quick spin-down– Removing droplets from tube walls and caps after vortexing
- PCR preparation– Spinning down PCR tubes before thermal cycling
- Micro-filtration– Forcing small volumes through spin columns
- Clinical micro-sample separation– Small volume serum/plasma preparation

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can Hawach mini centrifuges replace Thermo Fisher or Eppendorf models?
A: Yes. Hawach mini centrifuges deliver equivalent spin-down performance and tube compatibility at 30-40% lower cost. Use the same rotors and protocols – no method revalidation required.
Q: What speed is needed for PCR spin-down?
A: 4,000-6,000 rpm is sufficient to pellet droplets from tube walls and caps. For faster pelleting of larger volumes or more compact pellets, choose a 12,000 rpm model.
Q: Can I use PCR 8-strip tubes?
A: Yes. Select models come with a dedicated PCR strip rotor, or you can purchase the PCR rotor as an accessory.
Q: Are the rotors autoclavable?
A: Yes, all rotors and adapters are autoclavable at 121°C for 20 minutes.
Q: What is the noise level of Hawach mini centrifuges?
A: ≤47-60 dB(A) – quiet enough for open laboratory environments.
Q: What is the warranty period?
A: 12 months standard, extendable upon request.
