The C2205 is the myFuge 5D Digital Mini Centrifuge — NEW product family of digital-control mini centrifuges at $650. KEY differentiator from analog mini-centrifuges (C1008 MyFuge Mini at $347, C1012 MyFuge 12 at $650.00): digital control with programmable speed and time. The "5D" designation suggests 5 mL or 5-position rotor with Digital control. Universal 100–240 V chassis.
Author confidence note (MEDIUM): No specific C2205 brochure in available corpus. Confirm exact rotor configuration ("5D" interpretation), max RPM / RCF, programmable speed / time range, and digital UI feature set with Benchmark Scientific technical support.
Voltage options: This unit can be ordered with European voltage requirements (230V/50Hz). Contact us to order.

Analog vs Digital Mini-Centrifuge Decision
| Feature | myFuge 5D Digital (C2205, this product) | MyFuge Mini (C1008) — analog |
| Speed control | Digital, programmable | Fixed / quick-spin only |
| Time control | Programmable | Manual / quick-spin |
| Display | Digital readout | None (basic) |
| List price | $650 | $347 |
| Premium | +$303 for digital control | — |
| Best for | Programmable workflow protocols, method-development | Quick-spin droplet recovery |
Pick the myFuge 5D (C2205) when:
- Workflow requires programmable speed / time control for protocol-specific cycle profiles
- Method-development workflows with multi-protocol speed-time variations
- Multi-investigator shared facility with diverse protocol cycle requirements
- Educational laboratory teaching demonstrating centrifuge speed / time effects on samples
Stay with C1008 MyFuge Mini ($347) when quick-spin / droplet recovery workflows are the routine — $303 saving when programmable control isn't required.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What makes the myFuge 5D "digital"? A: Digital control with programmable speed and time, versus the fixed / quick-spin analog control of minis like the C1008 and C1012.
Q: Is the 5D worth the +$303 premium over the analog C1008? A: Yes when the workflow needs programmable, protocol-specific cycle profiles or method-development flexibility; stay with the C1008 ($347) for quick-spin droplet recovery.
Q: What other digital variants are in the family? A: C2212 myFuge 12 Plus Digital with COMBI-rotor ($709) and C2248 StripSpin 12D Digital ($650) for PCR strip workflows.
Q: What voltage does it use? A: A universal 100–240 V, 50–60 Hz input at 250 W.
