The Floor Type Low Speed Centrifuge is a benchtop laboratory centrifuge designed for routine sample processing and separation applications requiring moderate centrifugal forces. This instrument operates at speeds up to 6000 rpm with a maximum relative centrifugal force (RCF) of 5111×g, providing sufficient separation capability for most biological samples, cell pellets, and laboratory preparations.

The centrifuge accommodates a maximum volume of 4×750ml samples and features precise speed control with ±10 rpm accuracy. The timing system offers flexible operation from 1 second to 99 hours and 59 minutes, with both continuous and short-span modes. Operating noise is maintained at ≤65 dB, suitable for standard laboratory environments. The unit requires AC220V power supply at 50/60Hz frequency.

How It Works

Centrifugal separation operates on the principle of differential sedimentation under applied centrifugal force. When samples are rotated at high speed, particles experience a centrifugal force proportional to their mass, the square of the angular velocity, and their distance from the axis of rotation. This force causes particles to migrate radially outward, with denser particles sedimenting faster than less dense particles.

The relative centrifugal force (RCF) is calculated as RCF = 11.18 × r × (rpm/1000)², where r is the radius in centimeters. At maximum speed of 6000 rpm, this centrifuge generates forces up to 5111×g, sufficient to pellet most biological particles including cells, bacteria, and protein precipitates. The separation efficiency depends on particle size, density difference between particles and medium, and the applied centrifugal force and time.

The timing control system allows precise control of separation duration, enabling optimization for different sample types. Continuous mode permits extended runs for difficult separations, while short-span mode provides precise timing for routine applications. The ±10 rpm speed accuracy ensures reproducible results between runs.
