Applications

Refrigerated micro centrifuges like the MTX-150 are standard equipment in molecular biology, biochemistry, cell biology, and clinical research labs. They are used to pellet cells, precipitate proteins, clarify lysates, perform ethanol DNA precipitations, and spin down micro-volume samples — tasks where temperature control is critical to prevent enzymatic degradation or sample denaturation. The integrated refrigeration unit allows the rotor chamber to be pre-cooled before a run begins, maintaining sample integrity throughout the spin. The brushless induction drive design eliminates brush wear and the need for routine motor maintenance, making these units well suited for high-cycle lab environments. The TMA-11 rotor accepts standard 1.5 mL and 2.0 mL microcentrifuge tubes. Tomy Seiko centrifuges from this era were widely used in academic, pharmaceutical, and biotech research settings and remain in demand for legacy lab setups and refurbished equipment programs.

Condition: Used
This Tomy Seiko MTX-150 Refrigerated Benchtop Centrifuge has been powered and tested at our facility. It powers on, the indicator lights illuminate, and the rotor spins very smoothly. Refrigeration was tested and confirmed to reach −15°C. The unit shows normal cosmetic wear consistent with lab use. The TMA-11 rotor, blue condensate drip tray, spare fuse, and power cord are all included. Please view our photo set and contact us if you have any questions.
