The C1008-B is the MyFuge Mini Centrifuge with Blue lid — NEW product family of premium-tier mini-centrifuges in the Benchmark Scientific catalog at $347. Includes 2 rotors (vs the BSC1006 mini-centrifuge family's single rotor) for multi-tube-format flexibility out of the box. 250 W power — higher motor capacity than the BSC1006 family. Universal 100–240 V chassis. Compatible with optional adapter packs for 0.2 mL and 0.5 mL tube formats in the standard rotor positions.
Author confidence note (MEDIUM): No specific C1008 brochure in available corpus. Specs sourced from universe label. Confirm exact rotor specifications (likely standard 1.5/2.0 mL Eppendorf + a second smaller-tube rotor or strip-tube rotor), max RPM / RCF, and rotor-swap mechanism with Benchmark Scientific technical support.
Voltage options: This unit can be ordered with European voltage requirements (230V/50Hz). Contact us to order.

Why the MyFuge Mini
The MyFuge Mini is the premium mini-centrifuge option in the Benchmark Scientific catalog:
| Feature | C1008 MyFuge Mini (this product) | BSC1006 Mini Centrifuge |
| Rotors included | 2 rotors | 1 rotor (6-place round) |
| Tube-format flexibility | High — 2 rotors out of the box, plus adapter packs | Single rotor only |
| Power | 250 W | (universe doesn't specify) |
| Color variants | 3 colors (Blue / Clear / Green) | 2 colors (Blue / Red) |
| Voltage | 100–240 V universal | (confirm at order) |
| List price | $347 | $366 |
Pick the MyFuge Mini (C1008-B) when:
- Workflow needs multi-tube-format flexibility out of the box (2 rotors)
- Higher-power motor matters for sustained operation
- Color-coded inventory plan uses 3-color variant lineup
- Multi-investigator individual-instrument inventory with diverse tube-format workflows
- Cost-optimized procurement — $347 vs $366 BSC1006 (slight saving)
Pick the BSC1006-B / -R when single-rotor 6-place workflow is the routine — different chassis family.
C1008 Color Variant Family
| US SKU | EU SKU | Color |
| C1008-G | (confirm EU availability) | Green lid |
All variants priced uniformly at $347 — color choice is facility color-coding decision.
