TGL-16 TABLETOP HIGH-SPEED REFRIGERATED CENTRIFUGE | PRECISION SEPARATION WITH TEMPERATURE CONTROL
When laboratory samples are heat-sensitive, speed alone is not enough. You need controlled centrifugation that combines high rotational speed, high centrifugal force, and dependable temperature management.
The TGL-16 Tabletop High-Speed Refrigerated Centrifuge is designed for demanding laboratory applications that require rapid, controlled separation of biological and chemical samples. Depending on the specific TGL-16 configuration and rotor supplied, the system can reach speeds of approximately 16,000–16,500 RPM, with refrigerated temperature control extending from approximately -20°C to +40°C.
With a compact benchtop design, programmable operation, microprocessor control, and multiple rotor options, the TGL-16 provides laboratories with a versatile platform for molecular biology, cell research, PCR workflows, clinical laboratory applications, biochemistry, and other temperature-sensitive sample-processing procedures.
Why Choose the TGL-16 Refrigerated Centrifuge?
The TGL-16 is built for laboratories where centrifugal force and temperature stability must work together.
High-speed centrifugation can generate heat, potentially affecting temperature-sensitive specimens. Refrigeration helps control the chamber environment during centrifugation, making the TGL-16 particularly valuable for workflows involving biological samples and molecular applications.
The unit is available with different rotor configurations, allowing laboratories to select the appropriate tube capacity and maximum speed for their specific application. Published configurations include rotors for 1.5/2.2 mL, 5 mL, PCR tubes, and larger sample containers, depending on the manufacturer and model version.
Key Features of the TGL-16
- High-Speed Centrifugation
The TGL-16 delivers high-speed operation of up to 16,000–16,500 RPM, depending on configuration. Some published specifications report maximum RCF values of approximately 21,532 × g to 24,760 × g.
This high centrifugal force enables efficient separation, concentration, and purification of particles and biological materials according to density.
- Advanced Refrigeration
Temperature-sensitive laboratory samples require careful thermal management. The TGL-16 provides a refrigerated operating range of approximately -20°C to +40°C, with reported temperature accuracy of around ±1°C on several configurations.
This makes the centrifuge suitable for applications where maintaining controlled sample temperature is important.
- Versatile Rotor Options
One of the major advantages of the TGL-16 platform is its compatibility with multiple rotor configurations.
Depending on the model and supplied rotor, available configurations can include:
- 12 × 1.5/2.2 mL tubes
- 24 × 1.5/2.2 mL tubes
- 12 × 5 mL tubes
- PCR tube configurations
- Larger-volume tubes up to 100 mL in certain TGL-16 versions
Rotor speed and maximum RCF vary according to the rotor selected.
Always confirm the exact rotor configuration before ordering, because TGL-16 specifications differ between manufacturers and variants.
- Microprocessor-Controlled Operation
The TGL-16 incorporates digital control and display technology for convenient monitoring of operating parameters. Certain versions provide LCD/LED displays, programmable operating conditions, direct RCF setting, and stored centrifugation programs.
This allows laboratory personnel to reproduce established centrifugation protocols more consistently.
- Automatic Safety Protection
High-speed centrifuges require robust safety systems. Published TGL-16 specifications include features such as automatic rotor recognition, imbalance detection, electronic door locking, overspeed protection, and over-temperature protection, depending on the specific manufacturer/version.
These features help protect users, samples, and equipment during high-speed operation.

High-Speed Performance Without Compromising Temperature Control
A conventional high-speed centrifuge may be unsuitable for some temperature-sensitive applications because centrifugation can increase sample temperature.
The TGL-16 refrigerated centrifuge addresses this requirement by integrating high-speed centrifugation with active temperature control. This makes it particularly useful for laboratories processing biological specimens where maintaining controlled conditions is an important part of the workflow.
The combination of high RPM, high RCF, programmable operation, multiple rotor options, and refrigeration gives laboratories greater flexibility when developing or implementing centrifugation protocols.
Compact Tabletop Design for Modern Laboratories
Despite its high-speed capabilities, the TGL-16 is designed as a tabletop laboratory centrifuge, making it suitable for laboratories that require advanced centrifugation without dedicating floor space to a large floor-standing system.
Its benchtop configuration is particularly useful for:
- Research laboratories
- Medical laboratories
- Biotechnology facilities
- Pharmaceutical laboratories
- University laboratories
- Molecular biology laboratories
- Hospital laboratories
- Diagnostic centers
- Clinical research facilities
TGL-16 vs. Standard Laboratory Centrifuge
The key difference is temperature control combined with high-speed performance.
A standard laboratory centrifuge may be sufficient for routine sample separation where temperature is not a major concern. However, a refrigerated high-speed centrifuge becomes more appropriate when laboratory protocols require:
High speed + high RCF + controlled temperature + programmable operation.
This combination makes the TGL-16 a more specialized solution for demanding laboratory workflows.
