Benchmark Scientific C2417 MC-24™ Touch High Speed Microcentrifuge with COMBI-Rotor™

Product Description

The Benchmark Scientific C2417 MC-24™ Touch is the first microcentrifuge in its class to feature full color touch screen control — combining next-generation usability with high-speed performance (up to 13,500 rpm / 16,800 xg) and the unique COMBI-Rotor™ that accepts both standard microtubes and PCR strip tubes without requiring a rotor swap. Whether you're pelleting cells, spinning down precipitates, collecting spin column eluates, or processing PCR strips, the MC-24 Touch handles it all in a compact 9 × 12 × 7.75 inch footprint. Cold room safe, 2-year warranty, and available in 115V and 230V configurations.

Full Color Touch Screen — The First in Its Class The MC-24 Touch is the first microcentrifuge in its class to feature touch screen control. The large, full color touch screen displays actual speed in real time (switchable between rpm and rcf), set speed, and remaining time — all at a glance. No knobs, no buttons to misread. Intuitive touch operation makes programming fast and eliminates user errors common with traditional dial-based microcentrifuges.

mySpin™ One-Button Program Recall The home screen features a dedicated mySpin™ icon for instant one-button recall of your single most-used speed/time profile — ideal for labs that run the same protocol repeatedly throughout the day. Up to 9 speed/time profiles can be stored in memory for quick access to any routine protocol without re-entering settings each time.

COMBI-Rotor™ — Microtubes and PCR Strips in One Rotor The included COMBI-Rotor™ is the standout feature of the MC-24 Touch. A single rotor, with lid included, handles all of the following without any adapter swaps:

• 24 × 1.5/2.0 mL microcentrifuge tubes
• 2 PCR strips (16 × 0.2 mL tubes)
• 12 × 2 mL spin column kits
• 8 × 5 mL tubes (with optional C2417-R5 rotor)
• 8 × cryovials (with optional adapter)

For molecular biology labs running both microcentrifuge and PCR strip protocols, the COMBI-Rotor™ eliminates the cost and inconvenience of maintaining a separate rotor for each tube format.

High Speed — Up to 13,500 rpm / 16,800 xg The MC-24 Touch delivers maximum speeds of 13,500 rpm (16,800 xg) in 100 rpm / 100 rcf increments — covering the full speed range needed for cell pelleting, protein precipitation, nucleic acid isolation, spin column protocols, and other standard microcentrifuge applications. Speed is adjustable from 200 rpm all the way to 13,500 rpm in precise increments.

Proprietary Air-Flow System — Samples Stay Cool A unique, proprietary air-flow system moves air evenly and quietly throughout the centrifuge chamber, keeping samples cool even during extended runs at maximum speed. The MC-24 Touch is also cold room safe — making it suitable for temperature-sensitive applications requiring centrifugation at 4°C.

Compact Footprint — 9 × 12 × 7.75 Inches At just 14 lbs (6.4 kg) and 9 × 12 × 7.75 inches (23 × 30.5 × 19.7 cm), the MC-24 Touch is one of the most space-efficient high-speed microcentrifuges available — fitting comfortably on crowded benchtops without sacrificing capacity or performance.
