Clinical Centrifuges

Clinical centrifuges are laboratory instruments used to separate substances of different densities in a sample. They work on the principle of centrifugal force, which is generated by spinning the sample at high speeds. Clinical centrifuges are widely used in medical laboratories for various applications such as blood separation, urine analysis, and virus isolation. Clinical centrifuges consist of a rotor, which holds the sample tubes, and a motor that rotates the rotor at high speeds. The rotor can be of different types, such as fixed-angle, swing-bucket, or vertical rotors, depending on the application. Fixed-angle rotors are used for high-speed separations, while swing-bucket rotors are used for low-speed separations. Vertical rotors are used for large-volume samples. Clinical centrifuges are available in different sizes and capacities, ranging from small benchtop models to large floor-standing models. They are also available in refrigerated and non-refrigerated versions. Refrigerated centrifuges are used for temperature-sensitive samples, such as blood samples, while non-refrigerated centrifuges are used for routine applications. Clinical centrifuges are essential laboratory instruments in medical research and diagnostics. They are used for a wide range of applications, such as separating blood components, isolating viruses, and analyzing urine samples. They are also used in the pharmaceutical industry for drug development and quality control.
