The LC-8 Lab Centrifuge delivers precise digital speed control up to 5,000 rpm, making it ideal for quick and efficient sample processing. It features an eight-position rotor for 15ml tubes, a safety lid-lock to prevent accidental openings, and an imbalance detection system for smooth, reliable operation. Designed with an airflow system to keep samples cool, it ensures consistent performance for a variety of lab applications.
The LC-8 Lab Centrifuge is a powerful and versatile solution for laboratories that require efficient, high-speed sample processing. With a compact yet durable design, it provides precise digital control over speed and run time, ensuring accurate and repeatable results across a variety of applications. From blood sample separation to culture processing, this centrifuge is built to handle demanding lab workflows with ease.
The unit is equipped with an eight-position rotor, capable of holding 10ml and 15ml tubes without the need for adapters. For added flexibility, optional adapters are available to accommodate a variety of blood collection and culture tubes. The rotor is also removable, allowing for easy cleaning and maintenance to support long-term reliability in high-use settings.
Unlike traditional manual centrifuges, the LC-8 features intuitive digital controls that allow users to precisely adjust speed and run time based on specific sample requirements. The backlit LCD display clearly shows all settings, making it easy to monitor and adjust parameters. Speed can be set in rpm or rcf, with acceleration and deceleration rates customizable through the advanced settings menu. A programmable timer offers the flexibility to set runs for as little as 20 seconds or up to 99 minutes, with a continuous mode available for extended applications.
To protect users and samples, the LC-8 includes a safety lid-lock mechanism that prevents operation unless the lid is fully closed. This ensures that accidental openings do not occur during centrifugation, reducing the risk of spills or contamination. The centrifuge is also equipped with an imbalance detection system, which continuously monitors the rotor’s stability. If an imbalance is detected due to unevenly loaded tubes, the unit will automatically shut down to prevent damage and ensure safe operation.
One of the standout features of the LC-8 is its advanced airflow system, which helps maintain a stable temperature inside the chamber. Many centrifuges generate heat during extended runs, which can affect sensitive biological samples. The LC-8’s cooling system minimizes heat buildup, ensuring that samples remain at optimal conditions throughout the process.
The LC-8 is designed to fit seamlessly into a variety of lab environments, with a universal voltage system (115V or 230V, 50-60Hz) that allows it to be used worldwide. Its sturdy, low-vibration construction ensures stability even at high speeds, while the compact footprint makes it easy to place on a benchtop without taking up excessive space. Whether used in clinical diagnostics, microbiology research, or routine sample prep, this centrifuge offers a balance of precision, safety, and efficiency to meet the needs of modern laboratories.
