The BSC1006-R is the Red color variant of the Blue Mini-Centrifuge, identical chassis, motor, and 6-place rotor as the BSC1006-B (Blue) sister, sold at $363 ($3 less than the Blue US variant at $366). The Red color supports facility color-coding inventory differentiation, distinct from the blue variant for at-a-glance identification of investigator-specific or workflow-specific instrument inventory.
For full chemistry rationale (mini-centrifuge workflow benefits, application profile, color-coded inventory strategy), see the BSC1006-B (Blue) anchor page.
Voltage options: This unit can be ordered with European voltage requirements (230V/50Hz). Contact us to order.
Key Specifications

When to Pick the Red Variant
Pick the BSC1006-R when:
- Color-coded facility inventory differentiation is the procurement strategy (red for one workflow class; blue for another)
- Multi-investigator individual-instrument inventory. Investigator-specific color coding
- Visual workflow segregation. Red as warning / aggressive-chemistry / contamination-sensitive workflow inventory
- Cost-optimized procurement. Red US variant is $3 cheaper than Blue US (small differential, but consistent across multiple-unit procurement)

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the BSC1006-R and the BSC1006-B? They share an identical chassis, motor, and 6-place round rotor. The only difference is the housing color (Red vs Blue).
Why choose the Red variant? For facility color-coding inventory differentiation, distinct from the blue variant for at-a-glance identification of investigator- or workflow-specific instruments.
Is there a price difference between the Red and Blue versions? Yes, a small one: the Red US variant is $363 versus $366 for the Blue US variant.
What rotor does the BSC1006-R include? A 6-place round rotor.
