Product Description

The LW Scientific E8 Combination Centrifuge is a versatile, high-performance centrifuge designed for both test tube and microhematocrit applications. Ideal for medical clinics, veterinary offices, research labs, and educational institutions, this centrifuge offers efficient blood and urine sample separation, as well as packed cell volume (PCV) testing in a compact, easy-to-use design.

Features:

  • Dual-Function Capability: Processes both test tubes and microhematocrit capillary tubes
  • Interchangeable Rotors: Switch between different sample types with ease, eliminating the need for separate centrifuges for test tubes and PCV testing, and making it a cost-effective and space-saving solution for laboratories that handle multiple sample types
  • Fast and Reliable Sample Processing: Designed for quick and accurate blood and urine separation
  • Gentle Sample Handling: Provides proper separations while minimizing the risk of cell damage
  • Auto-Calibrating Speed Function: Achieves higher, accurate rotor speed for specific g-forces for faster, more precise, and cleaner separations
  • Variable Speed Control: Adjustable settings for customized sample separation
  • Lower Chamber Temperatures: Helps keep samples cooler during operation
  • Quiet, Brushless Motor: Provides smooth, vibration-free, and maintenance-free operation
  • Auto-Brake System: Stops the rotor in less than 30 seconds to save time in busy labs
  • Compact, Space-Saving Design: Small footprint and shorter height fit easily under laboratory cabinets
  • User-Friendly Controls and Durable: Digital controls and brushless motor increase convenience and longevity
  • Safety Auto-Locking Lid with View Port: Enhances user safety during operation with a safety shut-off switch, and has a clear view port for tachometer use
  • Operational Stability: Suction-cupped feet prevent slipping
  • Designed for Professional Use: Ideal for medical, veterinary, educational, and research environments
  • Manufactured to High Standards: Designed, engineered, and assembled in the LW Scientific’s ISO-certified, FDA-registered manufacturing facility
  • Application:
    • Fixed Speed (E8C-U8AF-CR03): Fixed at 3,500 RPM and only spins blood tubes and microhematocrits
