Hematocrit Rotors: Precision and Efficiency in the Laboratory

Hematocrit rotor: design and mode of operation

The hematocrit rotor is an indispensable instrument in medical diagnostics and also in industry. It is used to determine the proportion of red blood cells in relation to the total volume of blood. The structure of a hematocrit rotor consists of a cylindrical tube connected to a capillary. A small amount of blood is introduced into this tube and then separated by centrifugal force.

The heavier components, such as the red blood cells, settle to the bottom, while the plasma remains on top. The principle of operation is based on the differences in density between the different components of the blood. Rotation uses these different densities to separate them from each other. In laboratories, this process is often used for routine testing of patient blood samples.

It can also be used in industrial applications for quality control - for example, to ensure that certain products are free of foreign substances or have a certain nutrient content. Thanks to its ease of use and fast results, the hematocrit rotor has established itself as an important aid - both for physicians and technicians in various industries.

Sigma micro hematocrit rotor (incl. lid for 24 capillaries Ø 1.5 x 75 mm, 50 µl).

The Sigma microhematocrit rotor is an indispensable tool for anyone working in the medical field. With this device, you can quickly and easily analyze blood samples and obtain important information about the health status of your patients. The rotor is made of high-quality materials and is specially designed for use in the medical field. It has a lid that provides space for 24 capillaries with a diameter of 1.5 x 75 mm. Each capillary can hold up to 50 µl of blood. Handling the Sigma microhematocrit rotor is extremely simple: insert the capillaries into the holes provided in the lid and fill them with a small amount of blood.

Then place the lid on the rotor and let it rotate for a few minutes. The rotation causes the different components of the blood to separate from each other - red blood cells accumulate at the bottom of each capillary, while plasma remains at the top. After the rotor has stopped, you can use a hematocrit centrifuge reader or read manually what percentage of the volume is occupied by red cells - this tells you whether or not anemia is present.

Hettich hematocrit rotor (24x for MIKRO 220 / 220 R)

This is an indispensable instrument for laboratories performing hematological examinations. This rotor is specially designed for MIKRO 220 / 220 R centrifuges from Hettich and enables rapid separation of blood cells into plasma and red blood cells. The hematocrit rotor consists of a robust aluminum housing with a capacity of up to 24 sample tubes. The samples are placed on the rotating carrier, which is then centrifuged at high speed. This rotation causes the different components of the blood to separate from each other depending on their density.

The result is clear layers: The upper plasma contains proteins and other solutes; the lower sediment consists mainly of red blood cells (erythrocytes). The hematocrit value can now be easily calculated by looking at the ratio of the volume of the red blood cell layer to the total volume. Thanks to its precise design, the Hettich Hematocrit Rotor provides accurate results within a very short time - ideal for routine examinations or emergency laboratories. Likewise, it is extremely user-friendly: sample containers can be quickly inserted or removed, while the instrument itself is easy to clean.
