Gel Card Centrifuge

The Blood ID Centrifuge is a specialized benchtop centrifuge designed specifically for blood banking and immunohematology applications using gel card or column agglutination technology. It is optimized for centrifuging gel cards used in ABO/Rh typing, antibody screening, cross-matching, direct and indirect antiglobulin tests (Coombs tests), and antibody identification procedures. Features include fixed-angle or swing-out rotors with specialized gel card holders, programmable cycles (speed, time, acceleration/deceleration) for different test protocols, digital display, imbalance detection, and safety lid lock. Capacity typically 6-24 gel cards per run with speeds optimized at 1,000-2,500 RPM for gel card processing. Primary clinical applications include blood typing and cross-matching in transfusion medicine, antibody identification and titer determination, direct and indirect antiglobulin testing, newborn cord blood testing, donor screening, and quality control in immunohematology. Essential equipment for hospital blood banks, donor centers, and immunohematology reference laboratories requiring standardized, reproducible gel card test results.
