What is a medical centrifuge?

Medical centrifuges are widely used in the medical device industry, mainly for blood separation, DNA scientific research / immune system hematology laboratory and research rooms, etc.

They are ideal equipment for radioimmunoassay of serum proteins in diagnostic and biochemical laboratories.

In medical testing, centrifuge is often used as instrument and equipment for separating serum, plasma, precipitating protein or checking urinary sediment.

Centrifuges can be used to rapidly precipitate the suspended particles in the mixture, so as to separate the components of various substances with different specific gravity.

How does a medical centrifuge work?

Centrifugation is to use the powerful centrifugal force generated by the high-speed rotation of the centrifuge rotor to accelerate the settling speed/velocity of particles in the liquid and separate the substances with different settling coefficients and buoyancy densities in the sample.

Medical centrifuges are often used in hospital laboratory departments to separation blood. After blood centrifugation, the serum and blood cells are stratified, and the above serum is used for various biochemical experiments. Therefore, the medical centrifuge is a necessary equipment in the laboratory.

What the specification of medical centrifuge?

There are many kinds of centrifuges. For medical centrifuges that are used in hospitals, they are generally low-speed centrifuges, with a rotation speed of about 4000r/min - 10000r/min, and centrifugation for 5-10 minutes. If the rotating speed is too low or too high, the centrifugal effect will not be very good. While for those which are mainly used in pharmaceutical industry, they are generally high-speed medical centrifuges, with a ratation speed of above 10000r/min.
