Centrifuges
The centrifuge is a laboratory equipment that generates rotational movements, has the objective of separating the components that constitute a substance. This equipment applies a sustained centrifugal force (i.e. a force produced by rotation) to force the matter out of the center of rotation.
The type of clinical procedure and laboratory size are two of the most important factors when choosing a centrifuge. Some centrifuges can be used in a wide variety of applications, while others serve only very specific purposes. Although there are many models and types of centrifuges, their operation is always the same: all centrifuges rotate the samples around a fixed angle and separate the fluids from the solid substances by applying the principle of sedimentation.
Types of Centrifuges a Laboratory May Need
Centrifuges, non-refrigerated
They are easy to handle and compact centrifuges, that is, they are small centrifuges and do not have refrigeration so they usually operate at room temperature. Reaches speeds between 4000-5000 rpm. They are used for general laboratory applications, such as separating large particles such as cells, cell suspensions, separating sera, plasma, urine, sperm, among others.
So they are used in the chemical, environmental, pharmaceutical industry, in clinics and laboratories. They can use tilting and fixed-angle rotors.
Refrigerated centrifuges
High-speed centrifuges are essential equipment for the isolation and characterization of multiple biological structures, from biomolecules, such as nucleic acids and proteins, to cellular organelles.
High-speed centrifuges are specialized centrifuges that reach maximum speeds between 18,000 and 25,000 rpm (they can generate about 60,000 g). They are refrigerated and normally have a vacuum system to prevent heating the rotor. This vacuum system allows them to have a more accurate temperature control than those that do not make vacuum. They are useful in the separation of cellular fractions, but insufficient for the separation of ribosomes, viruses or macromolecules in general.

Our Best Selling Centrifuge
Generally, low speed centrifuges do not exceed 4000 rpm in rotational speed and have a maximum capacity of 2-4l. They are usually handled in laboratories, for primary separation and extraction of large amounts of biological macromolecules and sediments. They have mechanisms made with aluminum fusion, flat type and angle type. Centrifugal tubes are made of hard glass, hard polyethylene plastic and stainless steel tubes. The centrifuge is equipped with a drive motor, a timer, a regulator (speed indicator). This type of centrifuge is mainly used to collect microorganisms, cellular debris, cells, large organelles, sulfuric acid precipitates and immunoprecipitates.
