General Laboratory & Sample Preparation Equipment
Centrifuge
Centrifuges separate sample components by density difference under centrifugal force. Key selection criteria include actual RCF, rotor type/capacity, tube compatibility, refrigerated vs. non-refrigerated, acceleration/braking control, safety, and biocontainment rotor/lid availability.
Selection Criteria
- Actual RCF, not just RPM
- Capacity and rotor type (fixed-angle or swing-out)
- Refrigeration requirement
- Tube and adaptor compatibility
- Biocontainment capability
- Footprint and 220–230V power for the Iran market
