The C1012 is the MyFuge 12 Mini Centrifuge — likely a 12-position rotor variant of the MyFuge Mini family at $471 ($124 premium over the standard MyFuge Mini at $471.00). The "12" designation suggests 12-tube simultaneous capacity vs the standard MyFuge Mini's lower-position rotor — meaningful step-up for higher-throughput mini-centrifuge workflows.
Author confidence note (MEDIUM): No specific C1012 brochure in available corpus. Confirm exact rotor capacity (likely 12-position 1.5/2.0 mL Eppendorf), max RPM / RCF, and feature differentiators with Benchmark Scientific technical support.

Why the MyFuge 12
The MyFuge 12 is positioned as a step-up from the standard MyFuge Mini:
- Higher tube capacity per cycle — likely 12-position vs the C1008's lower-position rotor
- $124 premium over standard MyFuge Mini ($471 vs $471.00) reflects higher-capacity rotor + chassis
- Multi-investigator shared facility procurement at higher throughput
Pick the MyFuge 12 (C1012) when:
- Workflow needs higher-throughput mini-centrifugation — 12+ tubes per cycle
- Multi-investigator shared chassis at moderate throughput
- Cost-optimized step-up procurement — $124 premium for capacity increase
Stay with C1008 MyFuge Mini ($471.00) when standard mini-centrifuge throughput is sufficient.
Step to C1612 MC-12 Microcentrifuge ($1,793) when higher-RPM / higher-RCF microcentrifuge is the workflow requirement (different chassis class entirely).
Frequently Asked Questions
What capacity does the MyFuge 12 have? Likely 12-position (confirm the rotor configuration with Benchmark); the "12" designates the higher-capacity rotor versus the standard MyFuge Mini.
How does the C1012 differ from the C1008 MyFuge Mini? The C1012 is a higher-throughput step-up at $471 versus $471.00 for the standard MyFuge Mini.
What voltage does it use? 100–240 V, 50–60 Hz, 250 W (universal input).
When should I step up to the C1612? When you need a full microcentrifuge with higher RPM / RCF — the C1612 MC-12 at $1,793 is a different chassis class.

C1008 vs C1012 vs C1612 — mini / micro centrifuge tier:
- C1008 MyFuge Mini ($471.00) — standard mini-centrifuge with 2 rotors
- C1012 MyFuge 12 (this product, $471) — higher-throughput mini-centrifuge (likely 12-position)
- C1612 MC-12 Microcentrifuge ($1,793) — full microcentrifuge with 12-place rotor
Pick the MyFuge 12 for higher-throughput mini-centrifuge workflows; sister chasses cover lower-throughput mini and full-microcentrifuge tiers.
