small microfuges/quick spins?

[Andre Hamel]

I recall having seen advertisements for inexpensive ($100 - $200), small 
microcentrifuges for spinning 6 tubes ... low speed (2,000 x g).

Simply for QUICK spinning samples just to get liquid to bottom of tube.

Anybody (everybody) out there have such beasts ... could you email me 
with manufacturer/vendor, & approx cost?

We're in need of 3 such small microfuges ... Stratagene sells PICOFUGE, 
but at $550 (Canadian currency) is a bit too pricy for us.

Thank much,
