Specify benchtop centrifuge systems for compact sample processing, pelleting, clarification, and separation across New Zealand laboratory and scientific equipment workflows. John Morris Group supports Laboratory teams with centrifuge options, including selected products from Sigma and Labfriend, for clinical, research, education, and quality control applications.
Benchtop Centrifuges
Benchtop Centrifuge Equipment for NZ Laboratory Separation
Our New Zealand range of Benchtop centrifuges is suited to routine centrifugation, sample preparation, and compact separation workflows across clinical, research, education, and quality control laboratories:
- Compact laboratory processing: Benchtop centrifuges provide tube, bottle, or plate separation capability without requiring floor-standing equipment, making them practical for shared and space-limited laboratories.
- Rotor-based flexibility: Fixed-angle rotors suit rapid pelleting, while swing-out rotors support blood tubes, larger vessels, and applications where horizontal separation is preferred.
- Method-driven configuration: Facilities should compare RPM, RCF, rotor options, tube capacity, refrigeration, imbalance detection, and chamber cleaning requirements before selection.
Key Criteria When Selecting Benchtop Centrifuges
Choosing the right Benchtop centrifuges for a New Zealand facility depends on sample type, throughput, rotor format, and temperature requirements:
- Sample and vessel format: Confirm whether your workflow uses microtubes, conical tubes, blood tubes, bottles, plates, or specialist vessels before selecting a model.
- Performance range: Review maximum speed, maximum RCF, acceleration, braking settings, and rotor radius to ensure the centrifuge supports your method.
- Operational requirements: Consider refrigeration, noise level, footprint, cleaning access, safety locks, imbalance protection, and approved accessories for daily use.
Build a Complete Centrifugation Setup
Reliable centrifugation depends on matching the centrifuge with approved rotors, adapters, and accessories. These related categories are commonly specified alongside benchtop centrifuge systems:
- Centrifuge Rotors: Used to configure the centrifuge for fixed-angle, swing-out, tube, bottle, or plate separation methods.
- Centrifuge Adapters: Help compatible tubes and vessels fit safely within approved rotors, buckets, or carriers.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a benchtop centrifuge used for?
A benchtop centrifuge is used to separate samples by density using centrifugal force. Common applications include pelleting cells, separating blood components, clarifying liquids, preparing research samples, and processing tubes or plates in routine laboratory work.
How do you choose a benchtop centrifuge?
Choose a benchtop centrifuge by confirming sample type, tube volume, rotor format, maximum RPM, maximum RCF, refrigeration needs, throughput, available bench space, and whether approved adapters or buckets are required.
Can John Morris Group source benchtop centrifuges for NZ facilities?
Yes. John Morris Group can assist New Zealand laboratories with sourcing benchtop centrifuges, rotors, adapters, buckets, lids, and related accessories for clinical, research, education, and quality control environments. Contact 0800 651 700 for local procurement support.
