Ranking of the best laboratory centrifuges for 2024

Among the many types of special equipment for laboratories, the centrifuge is not the last. The device is designed for stratification of liquids and bulk solids, depending on the size of fractions and their specific gravity. Some centrifuges are capable of separating solid particles from liquids.

How the device works

In the process of work in the centrifuge, a centrifugal force is created, due to which the particles in the mixtures are separated into large, heavy and small ones. The large ones are pushed to the periphery, while the small ones remain in the center. There are different centrifuges depending on the purpose: some are needed only to obtain samples of the required substance, which will be further investigated, while others are able to analyze some characteristics of molecules directly in the field created by the centrifuge.

Compliance with the rules of maintenance of the device

The centrifuge rotor requires regular attention from the maintenance personnel. In the event of breakdowns, depressurization can occur, which will result in injury to people and damage to laboratory property. Most modern models do not require much maintenance time. But laboratory workers are obliged to strictly follow the instructions from the device manufacturer in order to avoid accidental device failure.

Any centrifuge needs weekly cleaning of internal working surfaces and rotor from dust and possible contamination. All touchpads, buttons, keyboard, external casing are subject to the same care.

Before the introduction of a new device into operation, all laboratory staff who will work on it must undergo high-quality instruction and report on the learned rules. This is important because it is human errors that lead to various rotor breakdowns.

You cannot work on the centrifuge if it does not turn on, vibrates strangely, makes too much noise, or does not reach the set rotor acceleration parameters. In such cases, you must immediately turn off the device from the network and send it to a repair specialist to correct the cause of the breakdown.

Basic tips for using a centrifuge

In order for the device to serve the required period and fully perform its functions, the following rules must be observed:

1. Do not install the device on an unsuitable surface: sloping or uneven.
2. The first time it is used, it is the responsibility of a technician authorized to work with such equipment to install and calibrate the precision instrument.
3. Before and during work, special equipment tests must be carried out, following the instructions.
4. During daily operation, the device requires mandatory wiping with disinfectant solutions both inside and outside.
5. A daily maintenance schedule should be posted on the wall near the appliance. It should indicate the time and signature of the employees who perform the necessary activities.
6. The cover of the device must not be opened until the rotor has come to a complete stop. In this case, most models have protection in the form of automatic shutdown of the rotor if the lid is not closed.
7. The body and rotor should be treated monthly with a special detergent that has a neutral pH.
8. An annual inspection and diagnosis of the centrifuge by a specialist is mandatory to identify possible breakdowns or inaccuracies in operation.

How to choose a centrifuge

When choosing a device model, it is better to take into account such points as:

• the specifics of laboratory activities: medical institutions are more likely to work with samples of biological fluids (blood, sweat, urine, etc.), while scientific ones deal with a wider range of substances and materials;
• the workload of the laboratory, that is, how many tubes are processed daily, so that there is no equipment downtime and underload, which will take more time for research; an odd number of tubes must not be placed in the device in order not to disrupt the operation of the rotor;
• different types of rotors - for different studies and types of processed materials. If the laboratory is industrial, then it is better to purchase those devices that are capable of performing different functions.
