Anybody know of any high capacity centrifuges that will spin about 60 1.5ml tubes at once?

Birkmann Instruments ( 1-800-645-3050) has a benchtop centrifuge model number 5810, capacity about 64 tubes called: multi purpose cantrifuge. You need to purchase the centrifuge($5500.00), rotor( $1695.00 )and the two adaptors ( $198.00 each) priced separately.

Check these companies as well:
Labnet Centrifuges; 877-521-8001
Accurate Chemical and Scientific Corp.: 800-645-6264
AML Industries, Inc.: 800-258-4410

Thanks, I actually found TOMY has a centrifuge that spins 72 1.5ml tubs and can spin 50ml tubes on the same rotor. We are thinking about going with this, since we use 50ml tubes occasionally as well.

I had used a Sanyo-Gallenkamp Harrier model - it has flexible buckets and adaptors, and so can be used for multiple functions on the same rotor. Do not recollect the model number right now, but you can check it out on thir website.

Sigma benchtop centrifuges are the highest capacity centrifuges I have been able to find for your purpose.
