Description: Benchtop centrifuge for spinning tube testing, either 10x75 or 12x75 tubes.
Product is not dependable, company is unresponsive. Centrifuges lasted only 18-20 months. Some problems: lid locked, mother board, start switch, timers.

Pros:
Cons: Many malfunctions

Many many problems with these centrifuges.
Purchased 6 together, within 2 months, 2 mother boards died.
Within 1 yr, 4 start switches went, and 3 lids locked.
Within 18 months, all 6 had malfunctioned in some way.
The company "loaned" us 2 replacements for the first 2, and then did not return my repeated calls.
