Intuitive Touchscreen Operation Panel
Easily navigate settings and monitor centrifuge status with a responsive touchscreen interface.
Program Memory (Up to 6 Presets)
Store up to 6 custom programs directly on the device, allowing quick recall for common spin routines and reducing setup time between runs.
Flash & Spin Down Button
Quick spins, no setup needed.
Perfect for short spin-downs or quick sample collection. Just press the button to activate an instant spin without changing your program settings.
Pre-Cool Function
Start cold, stay consistent.
Pre-incubation settings let you bring the chamber to the desired temperature before inserting samples—ideal for temperature-sensitive workflows.
Dynamic Operation Screens
The panel automatically switches between HOME and RUNNING screens to simplify monitoring during the run.
Numeric Keypad Input
Use the numeric keypad for precise input of speed, time, and temperature values.

TOMY’s High-Speed Refrigerated Centrifuge
TOMY’s innovative Rack-in-Rotor System enables lightweight, bucket-style rotors to be swapped quickly and easily—no tools required. This design streamlines workflows and accelerates research and development in a wide range of laboratory settings.
Quick Rotor Exchange
Effortlessly switch between tube types—including 1.5, 2, 15, 30, and 50 mL tubes, as well as 96-well plates—without the need for tools.
Stackable Rotor Design
Stack up to three rotors inside the centrifuge to spin as many as 72 microtubes (1.5 or 2 mL, commonly used for molecular biology) or 24 pieces of 8-tube PCR strips in a single run, improving throughput and lab efficiency.
Streamlined Sample Handling
The same rotors double as tube stands, simplifying both pre- and post-centrifugation tasks at the bench. Eliminate unnecessary sample transfers and save valuable time.
Cost-Effective Operation
These resin rotors are significantly more affordable than traditional metal rotors, allowing labs to stock multiple types without breaking the budget.
Application Areas
Ideal for molecular biology labs, microbiology labs, neuroscience labs, food analysis labs, cannabis process labs, chemical analysis labs, and more.
Testimonials
“What used to take 10 minutes now takes just 1 or 2. Carrying the whole rack from centrifuge to bench is incredibly convenient. Everyone loves it—it brings us so much joy.” Read more.
Jianliang Xu, Ph.D.
Georgia State University
“My TOMY centrifuge is compact, fits under the benchtop, and works with many tube types. The removable racks are easy to use, it cools fast, and it’s easy to move. Outstanding!”
Sachiko, Researcher
Global Pharmaceutical Company
“I love the removable racks—super convenient for loading and stacking 72 tubes. It’s easy to move, cools quickly, and our older model still works great after 10 years.”
