Overview
The AnTing FeiGe TGL-16C High-Speed Benchtop Centrifuge is a compact, microprocessor-controlled laboratory centrifuge engineered for precision separation of biological samples at elevated rotational speeds. Designed according to standard fixed-angle rotor architecture, it operates on the principle of sedimentation under controlled centrifugal force—enabling rapid pelleting of cellular components, subcellular organelles, nucleic acids, and proteins. With a maximum speed of 16,000 rpm and an achievable relative centrifugal force (RCF) of 17,000 ×g, the TGL-16C meets the performance requirements for routine high-speed applications in molecular biology, clinical diagnostics, and agricultural research laboratories. Its robust polymer housing ensures structural integrity while minimizing operational noise and heat generation—critical attributes for sustained use in shared lab environments.
Key Features
- Microprocessor-based digital control system with intuitive LED display for real-time monitoring of speed, time, and RCF
- Electronic safety door lock with automatic rotor recognition and imbalance detection
- Brushless DC motor delivering consistent torque, extended service life, and low maintenance requirements
- Thermally optimized chamber design limiting internal temperature rise during prolonged runs
- Compact footprint (230 × 285 × 265 mm) suitable for standard laboratory benches and biosafety cabinets
- Programmable timer (0–60 minutes) with auto-stop and audible end-of-run signal
- Fixed-angle rotor configuration supporting dual capacity options: 7 mL × 8 tubes (up to 14,000 rpm) or 1.5 mL × 12 tubes (up to 16,000 rpm)
Sample Compatibility & Compliance
The TGL-16C is compatible with standard polypropylene and polycarbonate centrifuge tubes ranging from 0.2 mL to 7 mL, including common formats used in DNA/RNA extraction, protein purification, and cell culture workflows. It supports protocols aligned with ISO 13485–certified manufacturing practices and complies with IEC 61010-1:2010 safety standards for laboratory electrical equipment. While not validated for GMP or FDA 21 CFR Part 11 compliance out-of-the-box, its programmable parameters and repeatable run conditions support documentation traceability required under GLP frameworks when integrated into validated laboratory information management systems (LIMS).
Software & Data Management
The TGL-16C operates as a standalone instrument without embedded PC connectivity or proprietary software. All operational parameters are set directly via front-panel controls, and no data logging or export functionality is included. Users may manually record run logs—including speed, time, rotor type, and sample configuration—in accordance with internal SOPs. For laboratories requiring audit-ready records, integration with external electronic lab notebooks (ELNs) or LIMS platforms is recommended for manual entry or barcode-assisted tracking.
Applications
- Isolation of plasmid DNA, genomic DNA, and total RNA from bacterial and mammalian lysates
- Pelleting of mitochondria, nuclei, and membrane vesicles in subcellular fractionation studies
- Clarification of crude protein extracts prior to chromatography or electrophoresis
- Concentration of viral particles and exosomes in virology and extracellular vesicle research
- Routine sedimentation of blood components, plant tissue homogenates, and microbial cultures
- Preparative centrifugation in quality control labs supporting pharmaceutical raw material testing
FAQ
What is the maximum relative centrifugal force (RCF) achievable with the TGL-16C?
The TGL-16C delivers a maximum RCF of 17,000 ×g when operating at its rated speed of 16,000 rpm with the 1.5 mL × 12 fixed-angle rotor.
Can this centrifuge accommodate 2 mL microcentrifuge tubes?
No—the standard rotor configuration supports only 1.5 mL and 7 mL tube formats. Adapters for alternate tube sizes are not supplied and must be verified for mechanical compatibility and balance prior to use.
Is the TGL-16C suitable for continuous operation over multiple cycles?
Yes; the brushless motor and thermally managed chamber allow repeated use within the specified duty cycle. A minimum 5-minute cooldown period between consecutive maximum-speed runs is recommended to maintain bearing longevity and thermal stability.
Does the unit include rotor calibration documentation or certification?
Factory-calibrated rotors are supplied with batch-specific identification but do not include NIST-traceable calibration certificates. Users performing regulated work should conduct periodic verification per internal SOPs or ISO/IEC 17025 guidelines.
What safety certifications does the TGL-16C hold?
It conforms to IEC 61010-1:2010 for electrical safety and includes mechanical safeguards such as lid interlock, overspeed protection, and automatic imbalance shutdown. CE marking is not applicable as the device is manufactured for domestic Chinese market distribution.
