Laboratory Centrifuge includes low-speed, high-speed, refrigerated, capillary, microcentrifuge, mini centrifuge, clinical centrifuge, and palm micro centrifuge options for routine sample separation. The range supports microtubes, PCR strips, capillary tubes, blood tubes, urine samples, faecal sample workflows, 10 mL tubes, 15 mL tubes, multi-tube rotors, and larger 4 × 100 mL capacity applications where the selected rotor and method are compatible.
High-speed models in this category include capillary tube centrifuges with 24-place rotors, high-speed microcentrifuges for microtubes and PCR strips, mini centrifuges with 12-place rotors, and multi-rotor centrifuges up to 15,000 rpm. These units are suitable for fast small-volume separation, capillary tube work, microtube preparation, PCR workflow support, and research or teaching applications where higher rotational speed is required.
The refrigerated high-speed centrifuge option adds temperature-controlled operation for workflows where sample condition must be protected during centrifugation. This is useful for temperature-sensitive samples, research preparation, and laboratory methods where heat build-up during spinning may affect sample quality. Users should select refrigerated models based on rotor compatibility, speed requirement, temperature range, sample type, and laboratory method.
Low-speed centrifuges in this range include blood tube centrifuges, clinical centrifuges with blood, urine and faecal programs, dual-ring centrifuges for 10 mL and 15 mL tubes, laboratory centrifuges with 12-place rotors, and multi-rotor models with 4 × 100 mL capacity. These are practical for routine clinical-style preparation, teaching laboratories, sample clarification, and general bench separation tasks where lower speed and tube compatibility are more important than ultra-high speed.
Palm micro centrifuges provide compact support for small-volume sample preparation where quick spin-down or light separation of microtubes is required. They are useful in education, molecular biology preparation, small research benches, and routine laboratory spaces where compact equipment and fast access are important.
Users should choose a centrifuge based on tube type, rotor capacity, maximum speed, relative centrifugal force, sample volume, balance requirements, lid safety, noise level, temperature control, and program needs. RPM alone does not fully describe separation performance because RCF depends on rotor radius as well as speed. Tubes must always be balanced correctly before operation, and rotors should be inspected for wear, cracks, corrosion, or contamination.
IEC 61010-2-020:2016 is directly relevant to electrically powered laboratory centrifuges, while IEC 61010-1 covers general electrical safety requirements for laboratory equipment. ISO 15189:2022 provides quality and competence requirements for medical laboratories and may be relevant to clinical laboratory workflow context. These references support the safety and laboratory quality context only and should not be used as product-specific compliance claims unless confirmed by manufacturer documentation.
For LabChoice Australia customers, Laboratory Centrifuge provides a practical range for universities, schools, research facilities, diagnostic preparation areas, medical laboratories, and quality control teams needing low-speed, high-speed, refrigerated, capillary, microtube, clinical, and multi-rotor centrifugation options.
