This refrigerated centrifuge separates blood in blood bags for blood banks and blood stations, and handles large-volume separation, precipitation and concentration in biochemistry, life science, food safety, agricultural and animal science, and biological and pharmaceutical product labs. It holds up to 8 × 2000 ml per run, reaches 8,000 rpm and 14,551 × g with the angle rotor, and controls the chamber from -20°C to 40°C to within ±1°C.
The refrigeration uses a fluorine-free compressor, copper tubing wrapped around the chamber and a double-circulation circuit, and cools the chamber from 25°C to 4°C within 4 minutes. A maintenance-free brushless variable-frequency motor drives the rotor through a flexible shaft for stable, low-vibration, low-noise runs (≤68 dBA), with three-stage vibration damping and automatic balancing. The all-steel body has a 304 stainless steel chamber and multi-layer protection.
The microcomputer controller shows rotor number, program number, speed or RCF, time, temperature and the acceleration and deceleration settings together on an LED display, and settings can be changed during a run. It stores 10 programs, with 10 acceleration and 10 deceleration rates. The electric door lock closes automatically and has an emergency release, and the unit self-checks and protects against door lock faults, overspeed, overtemperature and imbalance. Two hydraulic struts ease the door, which opens toward the back from the front control panel, and casters under the base make the unit easier to move and install.

How It Works
The centrifuge operates on the principle of differential centrifugal separation, where rotational force creates a centrifugal field that separates blood components based on their density differences. During operation, the rotor accelerates samples to predetermined speeds, generating forces typically ranging from hundreds to thousands of times gravitational acceleration. Denser components such as red blood cells migrate toward the tube bottom, while lighter plasma components remain in the supernatant layer.
The separation process is governed by Stokes' law, where particle settling velocity depends on particle size, density difference between particle and medium, and centrifugal force applied. For blood banking applications, typical separation protocols utilize moderate speeds to maintain cell viability while achieving clean component separation. Temperature control and time management prevent hemolysis and preserve sample integrity during processing.

| Feature | This Product | Typical Alternative | Advantage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Refrigeration | -20°C to 40°C chamber control (±1°C); cools from 25°C to 4°C within 4 minutes | Non-refrigerated centrifuges run at ambient temperature | Temperature-controlled separation of blood bags and other temperature-sensitive samples |
| Blood Banking Specialization | Specifically designed for blood bag and clinical sample processing | General-purpose centrifuges may lack specialized blood banking features | Optimized protocols and accessories enhance blood component processing efficiency |
| Safety Integration | Automatic electric door lock with emergency release; protection against overspeed, overtemperature and imbalance | Basic models may have limited safety monitoring | Reduces operator risk and prevents damage from unsafe operating conditions |
| Rotor Compatibility | Three rotors: an angle rotor (6 × 1000 ml) and two swing rotors (8 × 2000 ml), one with blood bag cups | Single-rotor systems limit application flexibility | Enables laboratory workflow optimization across different sample processing needs |
This refrigerated blood bag centrifuge combines 8 × 2000 ml capacity and -20°C to 40°C temperature control with a choice of angle and swing rotors, including blood bag cups. The system provides dedicated blood processing features while maintaining the versatility needed for diverse laboratory applications.
Practical Tips
Verify rotor balance using precision scales before installing sample tubes to prevent vibration-related separation artifacts.
Why: Proper balance ensures consistent separation and prevents equipment damage from excessive vibration.
Clean rotor surfaces with mild detergent after each use and inspect for cracks or wear signs monthly.
Why: Regular cleaning prevents cross-contamination while inspection identifies potential safety hazards before failure.
Allow samples to reach room temperature before centrifugation to prevent condensation and ensure optimal separation.
Why: Temperature equilibration reduces thermal stress and improves separation consistency across samples.
If excessive vibration occurs, immediately stop operation and check sample balance and rotor installation.
Why: Unbalanced loads can damage the centrifuge and compromise sample integrity through mechanical stress.
Document centrifugation parameters including speed, time, and temperature for each protocol to ensure reproducibility.
Why: Standardized documentation enables protocol validation and troubleshooting of separation inconsistencies.
Never attempt to open the lid during operation or before complete rotor stop, even during emergency situations.
Why: Rotating components pose severe injury risk and lid interlocks prevent access during unsafe conditions.

Compliance
What rotor types are compatible with this blood bank centrifuge?
Three rotors: No.1, an angle rotor for 6 × 1000 ml at up to 8,000 rpm and 14,551 × g; No.2, a swing rotor for 8 × 2000 ml at up to 4,000 rpm and 5,716 × g; and No.3, a swing rotor with blood bag cups for 8 × 2000 ml at up to 4,000 rpm and 5,716 × g, with adapters for 36 bags of 200 ml or 24 bags of 400/500 ml. Name the rotor you need when you request a quote.
Can this centrifuge maintain temperature control during operation?
Yes. It is refrigerated, with a temperature range of -20°C to 40°C and ±1°C accuracy, and it cools the chamber from 25°C to 4°C within 4 minutes.
What is the maximum capacity for blood bag processing?
Up to 8 × 2000 ml per run. With the No.3 rotor's blood bag cups, adapters hold 36 bags of 200 ml or 24 bags of 400/500 ml.
How do I ensure proper sample balance for blood banking applications?
Balance samples by weight across opposing rotor positions. Use water-filled balance tubes when processing odd numbers of samples to maintain rotor equilibrium.
What maintenance schedule is recommended for clinical use?
Follow manufacturer guidelines for routine cleaning, rotor inspection, and performance verification. Clinical applications typically require more frequent maintenance than research use.
Can the centrifuge process different tube sizes simultaneously?
This depends on rotor design. Some rotors accommodate mixed tube sizes while others require uniform sample containers for proper balance and separation.
What safety features prevent accidents during operation?
An automatic electric door lock with an emergency release, and self-check and protection against door lock faults, overspeed, overtemperature and imbalance. The 304 stainless steel chamber sits in an all-steel body with multi-layer protection.
