What is a centrifuge?

The laboratory centrifuge is a tool that is commonly used in laboratories or in medicine, research and science. Typical areas of application include:

  • food control and monitoring

  • quality assurance

  • the pharmaceutical industry

  • pharmacies

  • clinics and hospitals, (clinical centrifuges)for separating blood and sera

  • the metal processing industry, for de-oiling metal chips

  • the aerospace industry, among other things for simulating acceleration forces

How does a centrifuge work?

Certainly one of the most vivid examples of a centrifuge rotor is the classic salad spinner. The lettuce is made to rotate particularly quickly in a perforated drum so that it is pressed against its inner wall. The water flows out through the holes, thus overcoming the adhesion of the water to the respective solid. This simple but highly efficient function is also used in laboratory centrifuges. Components of substances or particles with higher density are transferred to the outside by centrifugal force in view of their higher physical inertia. In this way, they displace the segments with lower density, which in the course of this move to the center of the container. Compared to classical sedimentation, centrifugation is significantly faster and more efficient. By using the centrifuge in the laboratory, specific counterforces, such as thermal molecular motion, viscosity or adhesion, are overcome. The separation of the respective substances is based on the respective density differences.

Laboratory centrifuges - key figures and designs

The performance and function portfolio of a centrifuge for the laboratory plays a decisive role with regard to qualitative value. Accordingly, specific key figures take on a high significance in this context. These include, for example:

The minimum and maximum speed

The rotational speed or the rotational frequency in the case of mechanical rotations indicates the number of individual revolutions. This quantity is represented in ""revolutions per minute"" (min-1). Thus, the rotational speed designates the reciprocal of the circulation time. The latter indicates how long it takes for one revolution to be completed. In the field of centrifugation, the speed indicates the respective number of full revolutions per minute. In this process, the centrifuges separate the solid substances from the liquid samples at high speed in a solid-liquid mixture due to the difference in density present.

The rotor type

Order the laboratory centrifuge with the appropriate rotor type in our excellently sorted store. Depending on the media or substance properties as well as the type of container used, you can choose between the following rotor types, among others, at MedSolut.com:

  • Swing-out rot ors are ideally used for analytical and semi-preparative separations.

  • Fixed angle rot ors are well suited for complete clarifications of pellets of macro molecules as well as suspensions.

  • Vertical rot ors are best used for isopycnical separations.

The maximum G-value and the RCF-value

In addition to the speed of the centrifuge for the laboratory, the acceleration value is also relevant. This is called the G-number or G-value, which determines the separation performance. The higher the speed or rotational speed of the centrifuge, the better the individual separation performance. The G-value is calculated from the speed and the radius or diameter of the bowl of your centrifuge. The RCF value is the so-called relative centrifugal acceleration. It is often also referred to as the G-value and is the characteristic value for centrifugation. It should be noted that the G value can be different for the same speed of the rotors. The relative centrifugal force is therefore a multiple of the G-value.

The maximum radius (rmax)

The so-called maximum radius of the rotor (rmax) is specified by the manufacturer of the lab centrifuges. The rotation speed (rpm) indicates the revolutions of the centrifuge per minute.

The capacity

Depending on the amount of media to be separated and the relative centrifugal force, you should select the appropriate capacity of the laboratory centrifuge. If you have any questions in this regard, please do not hesitate to contact the friendly competence team of MedSolut.com.

Lab centrifuges - different types of devices

No matter whether you need a universal centrifuge or a special model: For every need and every requirement, you will find the right centrifuge for the laboratory in our online catalog. Discover the selection of high-quality laboratory centrifuges now. Choose your centrifuge for the lab directly from our portfolio:

Heated or cooled laboratory centrifuges

A heated centrifuge is recommended if you want to separate materials with different melting points quickly and gently at the same time. Cooled speed centrifuges, for example for centrifuging blood, sera and other substances, can also be found in the MedSolut range. Cooled or heated centrifuges are indispensable to prevent liquid samples from clotting or to protect them from bacteria and viruses.

Small, mini and micro centrifuge

For the separation of small-volume samples, the high-quality small, micro and mini centrifuges are highly recommended. Whether you need a small centrifuge rotor, a micro centrifuge or a mini centrifuge for your work, our friendly MedSolut specialists will be happy to explain it to you. We always have the right compact centrifuge for you.

Stand centrifuge

With a floor-standing centrifuge, you save valuable space on your laboratory and work bench. Benefit from many other advantages with the powerful models from the MedSolut portfolio.

Hematocrit centrifuge

With a hematocrit centrifuge, the determination of red blood cell or erythrocyte volume fractions becomes even easier and more efficient. The powerful devices from the MedSolut.com store are also ideal for separating microblood and solutions.

Vortex Centrifuge

The vortex centrfuge is the further development of the proven mini centrifuge. It combines several additional functions and is therefore ideally suited for the separation of micro substances and solutions.

Washing centrifuge

The washing centrifuge is used primarily in serology. It makes your daily laboratory routine much easier, especially if you work in transfusion facilities and clinics.
