Technical Highlights: MIKRO 2.0 R at a glance

Engineered for Efficiency

Rotor Technology

With five precision-engineered rotors, the MIKRO 2.0 R adapts to almost every microcentrifugation need. Whether you’re working with spin columns, cryo tubes, or PCR strips, this refrigerated microcentrifuge ensures tight spins with maximum safety.

Key rotor options include:

• 24-place rotor (16,100 RPM / 25,212 ×g) – High speed micro sample king.
• PCR strip rotor (15,400 RPM) – Molecular biology’s best friend.
• 20-place cryo tube rotor – Handles ultra low temperature applications like a pro.

Advanced Cooling, Rapid Prepping

The rapid pre-cooling function (within 6 minutes) makes this unit a go-to for temperature-sensitive protocols. Its wide range (-20 to +40 °C) delivers stable, reproducible conditions, crucial for molecular biology, clinical diagnostics and proteomics.

Built-In Smarts

The Hettich MIKRO 2.0R is fitted with a number of smart technologies including:

• Automatic Rotor Recognition – Eliminates setup errors.
• NFC Rotor Tracking – Tracks cycle count per rotor; ideal for audits and servicing.
• Auto-Lid Functions – Optional auto-start and auto-open features reduce contamination risks and repetitive strain.

What Makes It Different

• Longevity You Can Trust – A rugged synchronous motor, wide voltage compatibility and stainless-steel chamber mean it’s built to outlast cheaper alternatives.
• Flexibility That Matters
  Whether it’s a clinical diagnostics lab or a research core facility, this refrigerated microcentrifuge ticks both compliance and performance boxes.
• User Experience, Elevated
  Multilingual interface (26 languages), ultra-compact design, and whisper-level noise make it a perfect fit for busy, diverse teams.

Why Scientists Actually Care

Put simply, users have sensitive samples and zero time for downtime. The MIKRO 2.0 R delivers fast spins, exact temperatures and streamlined use, with zero drama. It’s what happens when German engineering meets scientific hustle.

Verdict: High Performance Meets Practical Design- 10/10
