For most clinical laboratory applications, like blood plasma and urine separations, a very basic centrifuge is all you need.
Very popular models include the Labnet Spectrafuge 6C with a six-place fixed-angle rotor and the Benchmark Scientific LC-8 and LC-8 Plus clinical centrifuges with a larger eight-place fixed-angle rotor.
The Benchmark Scientific LC-8 is the model featured on our YouTube channel where we demonstrate its portability; it can even be operated in a car:
Sometimes the clinical lab needs a different kind of clinical centrifuge with different features and abilities.
For example: A clinical centrifuge with adjustable speed may not work for a doctors office or a company performing clinical trials where repeat-ability is paramount.
In these circumstances, being able to adjust the speed of the centrifuge could result in uneven or inaccurate results.
Another area of preference is how the post-spin sample looks. A clinical centrifuge with a fixed-angle rotor produces sediment or pellets that match the angle of the rotor.
Many clinical labs desire post-spin samples to be flat and parallel with the lid of the vessel as is illustrated clearly here:
When your situation or protocol calls for easily repeatable results and a flat end-product, you need a Sprint clinical centrifuge from Benchmark Scientific.
The Sprint clinical centrifuge could not be easier to operate. Open the lid and insert your samples. Set the timer and push start.
The Sprint centrifuge accelerates to the set speed of 3400 rpm/1600xg, plenty fast to complete most separations in a few minutes.
The lid automatically locks to protect the user from sample splash and will not release until the centrifuge has slowed to a stop.
And, with a six or eight place swing-out rotor, you get beautiful horizontal samples.
The Sprint clinical centrifuge has a compact footprint, just 12.8 x 11.5 and a 9 inch profile.
Small enough for a modest doctors office, and easy to ship to patients for clinical trials.
Stellar Scientific offers research and clinical centrifuges that cover a wide range of laboratory needs.
We can provide an out of the box solution or custom build a centrifuge to meet your needs.
