Mini Centrifuge (D1008E)
The D1008E Mini Centrifuge (also known as the EZee Mini-Centrifuge) is a compact benchtop centrifuge designed for rapid sample processing in clinical diagnostic, molecular biology, and research laboratories . Operating at a fixed speed of up to 5,000 rpm (1,360–2,000 × g) with a quiet DC motor, this mini centrifuge supports dual rotor capacity: a 8-position rotor for 0.2/0.5/1.5/2.0 mL microcentrifuge tubes and a PCR rotor for 0.2mL PCR tubes and 8-strip tubes, both with tool-free exchange and adapter compatibility .
For the clinical laboratory scientist and medical technologist, the D1008E facilitates rapid sample preparation for urinalysis, serological testing, and basic chemistry assays . It supports DNA/RNA extraction and purification for molecular diagnostics, PCR sample preparation (including 0.2 mL PCR tubes and 8-strip tubes), protein precipitation for biochemical assays, and microfiltration for sample cleanup workflows .
The centrifuge features an intuitive “close-to-start” operation—simply close the lid to begin spinning and open it to stop, eliminating the need for any buttons . The unit provides continuous run operation, accelerates and brakes in seconds, and operates at low noise levels (≤45 dB) for a quiet laboratory environment . The double door lock mechanism and automatic stop upon lid opening ensure user safety during operation .
Safety features include double door lock design, over-speed protection, and advanced wide voltage technology that maintains stable speed regardless of voltage fluctuations . The D1008E has passed rigorous EN61010-2-20 explosion-proof safety testing and holds CE, cTUVus, and FCC safety certifications .
With an ultra-compact footprint (150 × 150 × 117 mm) and lightweight (0.5 kg) design available in multiple colors (blue, green, pink, yellow), the D1008E provides versatile, consistent performance for routine laboratory workflows supporting patient diagnosis and research applications

- Tube Breakage: If tube breaks during operation, stop centrifuge immediately, allow rotor to stop fully (open lid to stop), carefully remove fragments using forceps, disinfect rotor and chamber
- Sample Splash: If biological sample splashes, disinfect area immediately with appropriate disinfectant
- Imbalance Vibration: If imbalance occurs, rebalance rotor equally, restart centrifuge
- Power Failure: If power fails during operation, open lid manually to access samples
3. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
