Centrifuge / Sample

Centrifuge / Sample Concentrator

A centrifuge / sample concentrator is a vital laboratory device used to rapidly separate or concentrate components of a liquid sample by spinning it at high speeds. This process uses centrifugal force to isolate substances based on their density, allowing for efficient sample preparation and purification.

Key Functions:

• Separation: Isolates cells, proteins, DNA, or other particles from liquids

• Concentration: Reduces sample volume for downstream applications

• Drying: Often used to remove solvents or moisture under vacuum (in concentrators)

Common Applications:

• Clinical diagnostics

• Molecular biology and biochemistry

• Pharmaceutical research

• Sample prep for PCR, ELISA, or sequencing

Key Features:

• High-speed and low-speed models available

• Rotor options for different tube sizes

• Some models include vacuum and heat for faster concentration

• Easy-to-use digital controls and safety lock systems

This equipment is essential for labs needing reliable, fast, and precise sample processing.
