The Wincom TGK16 (often cataloged under the CTF-THR16 series) is a high-performance benchtop laboratory instrument designed for separating temperature-sensitive biological samples. It combines a high rotational velocity with a powerful, fluorocarbon-free cooling system to prevent sample degradation caused by operational heat. Manufactured by Wincom Company Ltd., it is commonly used in molecular biology, biochemistry, clinical diagnostics, and pharmaceutical research.
