Damon / IEC Division IEC MB Centrifuge Micro Hematocrit with # 275 Rotor

Damon / IEC Division IEC MB Centrifuge Micro Hematocrit with IEC cat no: 275 Rotor Condition is used. Power on. Damon / IEC MB Microhematocrit Centrifuge The Damon / IEC MB Microhematocrit Centrifuge is a compact, high-speed centrifuge engineered for precise and efficient determination of hematocrit values in clinical, veterinary, and research laboratories. Built for durability and ease of use, this unit is a staple in labs that require quick and reliable separation of plasma and red blood cells from capillary blood samples. Key Features High-Speed Operation The centrifuge reaches speeds of up to 14,000 RPM , generating a relative centrifugal force (RCF) of approximately 13,700 x g . This ensures optimal separation in just a few minutes, allowing for fast hematocrit measurements. Mechanical Timer A built-in 15-minute timer , adjustable in 30-second increments , provides reliable and consistent spin cycles, essential for achieving accurate results with each run. User-Controlled Braking System The unit features both a coast-down option and a manual braking mechanism , enabling users to choose how rapidly the rotor stops. This flexibility is beneficial when handling fragile samples or when time is critical. Lid Safety Interlock Includes a safety interlock switch that prevents the centrifuge from operating while the lid is open, significantly enhancing operator safety. Audible End-of-Run Signal An audible indicator alerts the user when the cycle has completed, ensuring timely sample retrieval and minimizing idle time between runs. Compact & Sturdy Construction Designed with space-saving in mind, the centrifuge has a durable metal body and rubberized feet for stability. Its relatively small footprint makes it ideal for benchtop use in both small and large labs.
