The C2248 is the StripSpin 12D, a dedicated PCR strip-format digital mini-centrifuge at $650 (same price as the C2205 myFuge 5D). The "12D" designation suggests 12-position strip rotor with Digital control, designed specifically for PCR strip workflows where dedicated strip-format chassis is preferred over multi-format COMBI-rotor designs.
Author confidence note (MEDIUM): No specific C2248 brochure in available corpus. Confirm exact strip capacity, format compatibility (8-position vs 12-position strips), and digital UI feature set with Benchmark Scientific technical support.

Why a Dedicated Strip Centrifuge
The C2212 myFuge 12 Plus COMBI-rotor supports multiple tube formats including PCR strips via the multi-format rotor. The StripSpin 12D is specifically optimized for PCR strip workflows, likely with rotor design tuned for strip-format balance and spin profile.
Pick the StripSpin 12D (C2248) when:
- Workflow is PCR-strip-focused, high-throughput PCR workflows with strip-format samples
- PCR strip spin-down is the dominant chassis use
- Cost-efficient PCR-strip-dedicated procurement. $650 vs $709 for the multi-format C2212
Stay with C2212 myFuge 12 Plus ($709) when multi-format flexibility matters more than strip-specific optimization.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the StripSpin 12D designed for? Dedicated PCR strip-format spin-down workflows, using a strip-optimized rotor rather than a multi-format COMBI rotor.
What rotor capacity does the C2248 have? A 12-position strip rotor (likely 12 × 8-tube strips, a 96-tube equivalent). Confirm exact strip capacity with Benchmark Scientific.
When should I pick the C2248 over the C2212 myFuge 12 Plus? Pick the StripSpin 12D ($650) for PCR-strip-focused workflows; pick the C2212 ($709) when multi-format flexibility matters more than strip-specific optimization.
What voltage does the C2248 run on? Universal input, 100–240 V, 50–60 Hz, 250 W.
