Sprint™ 8 and 8 Plus Clinical Centrifuges
With fixed-angle rotor
The Sprint™ 8 includes an eight position, fixed angle rotor for the centrifugation of 10mL blood tubes (16 x 100mm), and 15mL conical tubes (17 x 120mm). Smaller blood tubes (12 x 75mm and 12 x 100mm) are also compatible with the use of optional adapters.
With intuitive controls and a large LED display, virtually no programming or setup is required prior to starting a cycle. Simply use the up/down buttons to select the run time and press "START". The safety lid-lock is engaged and the rotor quickly and smoothly accelerates to 3,400 rpm. Once the run time is completed (or the "STOP" button is pressed) the rotor comes to a complete stop and the lid lock is disengaged for removal of samples.
Ideal for Coag, PPP and urinalysis studies.
The Sprint™ PLUS is unlike traditional clinical centrifuges in that its increased speed capability (4445xg) allows for the separation of serum or plasma in as little as 2-3 minutes. Additional features include:
- A large back-lit, liquid crystal display
- High capacity rotor, 8 tubes up to 15mL (conical or round bottom)
- Unique EZ-Scroll™ touch pad
- Timer up to 99hr 99mins. / continuous
- Storage of commonly used run-times
- Control of speed in in both rpm and rcf
- Adjustable acceleration and deceleration levels
- Safety imbalance detection system
- Momentary operation
- Electrical lid lock
Ideal for rapid production of serum and plasma.
