Description

Key features and components of a Clinical Centrifuge typically include:

1. Centrifuge Rotor: The centrifuge rotor is the spinning component that holds the sample tubes or containers. Clinical Centrifuges come with different rotor configurations to accommodate various tube sizes and sample volumes.
2. Speed Control: The centrifuge is equipped with speed control, allowing users to set the rotational speed in revolutions per minute (RPM) or gravitational force (g) to achieve the desired separation.
3. Timer Function: Many Clinical Centrifuges have a timer function that enables users to set the centrifugation duration for different applications.
4. Capacity: The capacity of Clinical Centrifuges varies, with some models capable of accommodating multiple sample tubes or microplates in a single run.
5. Safety Features: Clinical Centrifuges have safety features such as lid-locking mechanisms and imbalance detection systems to ensure safe operation and prevent accidents during centrifugation.
6. Digital Display and Controls: The centrifuge usually has a digital control panel with an easy-to-read display for setting parameters and monitoring the centrifugation process.
7. Acceleration and Deceleration Profiles: Advanced models may offer programmable acceleration and deceleration profiles to provide smooth and gentle starts and stops, preventing sample disturbance.
8. Maintenance: Many Clinical Centrifuges are designed for easy maintenance, with accessible parts for cleaning and servicing.

Clinical Centrifuges are primarily used for blood sample processing, including the separation of serum, plasma, and other blood components for diagnostic testing. They are also utilized in medical research and other clinical applications to isolate specific components from bodily fluids and prepare samples for various analyses.
