Space saving 12-place mini-centrifuge for quick spin downs. Powerful and user-friendly MiniSpin and MiniSpin plus are small enough so that each workstation can be equipped. Two models are available to meet your performance requirements. MiniSpin plus provides speed sufficient for molecular biology separations.
An IVD version of this model is also available (part number: 5453000062), please contact us for more information.
The MiniSpin®/MiniSpin® plus is designed for separating liquid substance mixtures with different densities, in particular, for processing and analyzing samples from the human body in in-vitro diagnostic applications to ensure that the in-vitro diagnostic device can be used according to its intended purpose. This centrifuge including components is an in-vitro diagnostic device according to Directive 98/79/EC of the European Parliament and the Council dated October 27, 1998. Eppendorf centrifuges are exclusively intended for indoor use by trained specialists.

Centrifuge Range Overview
Click below to check out an overview and key features that are present in the entire Eppendorf centrifuge family.
IVD vs GLP
The GLP Eppendorf centrifuge is part of the general lab products range and is suitable for most applications.
Centrifuges with IVD certification are registered as an in vitro diagnostic medical device under the IVD Directive 98/79/EC in Europe. If your lab is involved in clinical work, then you should consider getting a centrifgue with this certification. Having this certification may come at a price premium.
Rotor Nomenclature
Rotors come in two formats - Swing out and Fixed angle. The Eppendorf nomenclature explained so you know exactly what you're getting with each rotor model.

Eppendorf offers a variety of products complying to the IVD Directive 98/79/EC. If your lab work is predominantly a medical, clinical or diagnostic application, an IVD compliant product should be used. If your lab work is rather research oriented, a General Lab Product (GLP) should be used.
Functionally, the products are the same, however the IVD compliant product has a number of additional pieces of documentation and analysis to meet the requirements of 98/79/EC including:
For the above reasons, the IVD-compliant products usually fall at a slightly higher price point.Â
