The Low Speed Centrifuge (DM0412) is a clinical benchtop centrifuge designed for routine diagnostic sample processing including blood component separation, serum and plasma preparation, urinalysis, and general laboratory applications . Operating at speeds from 300 to 4,500 rpm (up to 2,490 × g) with a quiet, maintenance-free brushless DC motor, this centrifuge supports multiple rotor configurations—including the A12-10P rotor for 12 x 10mL/7mL/5mL vacutainer tubes and 8 x 15mL tubes, and the A6-50P rotor for 6 x 50mL tubes .
For the medical technologist and clinical laboratory scientist, the DM0412 facilitates serum and plasma separation for blood chemistry testing, coagulation studies, and lipid panels. It supports urinalysis sediment preparation for microscopic examination, blood bank compatibility testing for transfusion medicine, nucleic acid extraction for molecular diagnostics, and PCR sample preparation for infectious disease testing . The centrifuge also handles routine clinical chemistry sample preparation for liver function tests, renal function tests, electrolytes, glucose, and lipid profiles.
The DM0412 features an easy-to-read LCD display with speed/RCF switchover, quick spin (PULSE) function for instantaneous centrifugation, and timer logic that commences once set speed is reached for accurate separation time . The centrifuge has passed stringent explosion-proof testing according to IEC/EN61010-2-20 and complies with In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) medical equipment requirements (EN61010-2-101:2002), holding CE, cTUVus, and FCC safety certifications .
With excellent dynamic balancing ensuring stable operation even with moderate imbalance, double-layer safety protection housing, high-strength plastic rotors, and a compact benchtop footprint with 6 kg weight, the DM0412 provides reliable, consistent performance for routine laboratory workflows supporting patient diagnosis and treatment monitoring .
