product overview

This advanced centrifuge system represents a significant leap in laboratory separation technology, designed to meet the rigorous demands of modern research and educational environments. At its core, it features a robust brushless induction motor, offering unparalleled longevity, whisper-quiet operation, and precise speed control crucial for sensitive sample processing. The absence of carbon brushes eliminates particulate generation, ensuring a cleaner lab environment and significantly reducing maintenance requirements. Equipped with a swing-out rotor head, this unit facilitates superior separation and distinct pellet formation, ideal for density gradient separations and diverse sample preparations. The inclusion of four high-quality 100 ml glass tubes provides excellent chemical resistance and optical clarity, allowing for reliable observation of separation layers. Furthermore, each tube is complemented by a biosafety cap, an essential feature that guarantees containment of aerosols and potentially hazardous materials, prioritizing user safety and sample integrity during operation. This centrifuge is engineered for reliable performance, making it an indispensable asset for any laboratory requiring efficient and safe sample centrifugation.

FAQs

1. What are the main benefits of a brushless induction motor in a centrifuge?

Brushless induction motors offer several advantages including longer lifespan due to fewer wearing parts, quieter operation, precise speed control, and reduced maintenance. They also produce less heat and particulate matter, contributing to a cleaner lab environment.

2. Can I use different tube sizes with this centrifuge?

This centrifuge is specifically designed for 4x100ml glass tubes. Using tubes of different sizes or materials may require specific adapters (not included) or could affect balance and performance. Always ensure tubes are properly balanced and rated for the centrifuge speed.

3. How does the swing-out head benefit my experiments?

A swing-out head allows tubes to swing to a horizontal position during centrifugation, promoting flatter, more compact pellets. This is particularly beneficial for density gradient separations and when a clear, distinct separation of components is required.

4. What safety features are included with this centrifuge?

The unit comes equipped with biosafety caps for each 100ml glass tube, which help contain aerosols and prevent accidental spills, enhancing laboratory safety. It also features a robust design to ensure stable operation.

5. How should this centrifuge be stored when not in use?

When not in use, the centrifuge should be stored in a dry, clean environment, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure the lid is closed to prevent dust accumulation, and all tubes/rotors are clean and dry.
