Frequently Asked Questions

Can the rotors be changed on the same centrifuge?

Yes. The centrifuge supports interchangeable rotor configurations. The appropriate rotor can be selected for applications such as PCV testing, routine sample processing, micro sample work or PCR strip tube processing.

What is the difference between RPM and RCF?

RPM refers to the rotational speed of the rotor. RCF (relative centrifugal force) refers to the centrifugal force applied to the sample and depends on both rotational speed and rotor radius.

For this reason, different rotors can produce different RCF values at similar speeds. The maximum figures for each configuration are listed in the rotor table above.

What is the maximum speed?

The maximum speed is 16,500 rpm, available with the 12 × 2 ml and 18 × 0.5 ml rotor configurations.

What is the maximum RCF?

The maximum RCF is 18,360 × g, available with the 12 × 2 ml and 18 × 0.5 ml rotor configurations.

Which applications are covered by the available rotors?

The available configurations cover PCV / haematocrit testing, routine sample processing, micro sample processing, routine tube processing, microtube applications and PCR strip tube processing.

Is this centrifuge suitable for PCR strip tubes?

Yes. The 3 × 8 × 0.2 ml rotor configuration is specified for PCR strip tube processing.

What is the specified noise level?

The specified noise level is ≤65 dB(A).

How long can a centrifugation run be set for?

The time range is 1 minute to 99 minutes 59 seconds.

What safety functions are included?

The centrifuge includes lid interlock, imbalance detection and overspeed protection.

For In-House Veterinary Diagnostics

For a small animal practice, the appropriate rotor depends on the sample types and procedures that need to be handled.

The available configurations cover capillary tubes, standard tubes, microtubes and PCR strip tubes, giving practices and distributors several options when specifying the centrifuge for different diagnostic requirements.
