The Low Speed Centrifuge is a refrigerated benchtop centrifuge designed for high-capacity sample processing in laboratory environments. Operating at speeds up to 8,000 rpm with a maximum relative centrifugal force of 14,900×g, this unit accommodates up to 6×2400ml sample containers, making it suitable for large-volume separations and preparative work.

The integrated CFC-free refrigeration system maintains precise temperature control from -20°C to +40°C with ±1°C accuracy, enabling temperature-sensitive sample processing. Digital controls provide timing flexibility from 1 second to 99 hours 59 minutes, while speed accuracy of ±20 rpm ensures reproducible separation conditions. The robust 7000W power system and 515 kg construction provide stable operation for demanding applications requiring extended run times and high sample throughput.

How It Works

Centrifugal separation operates on the principle of applying centrifugal force to samples, causing particles of different densities to separate based on their sedimentation rates. When the rotor spins, samples experience forces many times greater than gravity, with the relative centrifugal force (RCF) calculated as 1.118 × 10⁻⁵ × radius × (rpm)². At maximum speed of 8,000 rpm, this centrifuge generates up to 14,900×g, sufficient for efficient separation of cellular components, precipitates, and suspended particles.

The integrated refrigeration system uses a CFC-free compressor to maintain precise temperature control during separation. Temperature regulation is critical for preserving sample integrity, preventing protein denaturation, and maintaining the stability of temperature-sensitive compounds. The system can cool samples to -20°C for applications requiring sub-ambient conditions or maintain elevated temperatures up to +40°C for specialized protocols.

Digital speed and timing controls ensure reproducible separation conditions. The microprocessor-controlled system maintains speed accuracy within ±20 rpm while providing flexible timing from brief 1-second pulses to extended 99-hour runs. This precision enables standardized protocols and consistent results across multiple sample batches.
