Centrifuge series include low-speed centrifuges, high-speed centrifuges, and refrigerated centrifuge, etc. which are divided into three grades: high, medium and low. They are widely used in central blood stations, blood banks, hospitals (for testing and radio immunity analysis), universities, research labs, as well as in the fields of agricultural science, biological engineering and environmental protection. Low speed centrifuges usually have a large capacity.

Haematocrit (US hematocrit) definition:
a) An instrument which separates blood into cells and plasma, usually by centrifugation.
and also
b) The ratio of compacted red cells as a proportion of blood, as read in a capillary tube after centrifugation.
Decreased haematocrit (red cell) levels are associated with anaemia, hyperthyroidism, cirrhosis, bone marrow failure and numerous other pathogenic conditions.

Rotors and tubes
FE1881 Fixed angle acetal rotor, 20 x 1.5 - 2.0mL micro tubes, see LCA09 on page L9
A durable black acetal machined rotor to take 20 micro chemistry tubes up to 2mL volume, with numbered tube positions for routine sample identification. The rotor inclines the samples at 45 degrees and runs at 11800 rpm giving RCF 14000g.

FE1890 Fixed angle acetal rotor, 8 x 1.5 - 2.0mL micro tubes (LCA09)
A durable black acetal machined rotor to take 8 micro chemistry tubes up to 2mL volume, with numbered tube positions for routine sample identification. The rotor inclines the samples at 30 degrees and runs at 16000 rpm giving RCF 19000g.

FE1971 Haematocrit rotor, 24 x 75mm capillary tubes
A balanced machined and perfectly concentric disc of solid aluminium, anodised and silk screened to give high integrity and long life. The rotor has numbered tube positions for routine sample identification.

FE1985 Multi combination rotor, 8 x capillary tubes, 12 x 1.5 - 2mL micro tubes (LCA09), and/or 4 x 10.25mm diam. 2mL/3mL Vacutainers, and/or 4 x 12mm diam screw cap tubes
A further variation on the rotors above, this is the ideal rotor for users with a wider variety of sample types to process. The rotor takes 16 standard 75mm capillaries, and several different sizes of micro tubes, to accommodate screw cap lids, and both 11 and 12mm diameter micro tubes.

FE1986 Combination rotor, 16 x capillary tubes, 16 x 1.5 - 2mL micro tubes (LCA09)
A mixed capacity rotor to allow both haematocrit capillaries and capped micro tubes to be run in the same load and to give the operator a choice of options to reduce the need for rotor changes. The design is a modified version of the standard Haematocrit rotor above.

A simple and well-made gauge designed to give fast, easy and accurate haematocrit measurements straight off the rotor.

A superbly made instrument for fast, easy and accurate haematocrit measurements. Precision printed, intuitive reader scale.

Using the Reader

• Position tube in slot within acrylic slider. The base line of Reader must intersects base of red cells
• Move tube holder slide, so that the top line intersects top of plasma.
• Adjust knob (on left, it moves line under the slider) so that the middle line intersects top of red cells.
• Read percentage P.C.V on scale at right.

The process is simple, fast and accurate.

Compact centrifuges with a variety of rotors and tube adapters. Operation of the centrifuge begins when the lid is closed. The rotor quickly accelerates to 6,000/7,200/10,000rpm and stops when the lid is opened. Adapters for 0.5mL and 0.2mL tubes are includes with all 3 models.

Features

• Compact, fits anywhere
