Abbott 75003530 Centrifuge

• Clinical laboratories use these for separating blood components or preparing samples for analysis.
• Biotechnology and pharmaceutical research often employ them for cell harvesting, protein purification, or DNA/RNA isolation.
• Academic research institutions utilise them for various sample preparation tasks in life sciences.
• Quality control laboratories may use them for separating components in small-volume samples.

Typical capacity

For this class of benchtop centrifuge, capacities commonly range from microplates to small tube racks.

Power supply

Units of this type typically operate on standard laboratory power, commonly 230V, 50Hz in the UK.

Temperature range

As a refrigerated unit, it typically maintains temperatures from approximately -20°C to +40°C, depending on the rotor and ambient conditions.

Maximum RCF (Relative Centrifugal Force)

Benchtop clinical centrifuges commonly offer RCFs suitable for cell pelleting and sample clarification, often in the range of 1,000 to 5,000 x g.

Rotor compatibility

Typically, these units support various interchangeable rotors for different tube sizes, microplates, or blood bags.

Footprint

Benchtop models are designed to fit on standard laboratory benches, with dimensions typically around 50-70 cm in width and depth.

• What types of samples can this centrifuge process?

  This type of centrifuge is commonly used for processing biological samples such as blood, urine, cell cultures, and other small-volume laboratory samples.

• Is specialist installation required for a benchtop centrifuge?

• What maintenance is typically involved for a refrigerated centrifuge?

• Are rotors included with the unit?

• What safety features are common on these centrifuges?

Centrifuges are valued across laboratories and biotech facilities for reliable sample separation. Buyers typically prioritise rotor compatibility, temperature stability in refrigerated models, and ease of maintenance when purchasing used units. Industry sentiment reflects appreciation for durable construction and consistent performance. Key considerations include verifying motor condition, checking calibration history, and confirming availability of compatible rotors. Well-maintained examples offer strong value and longevity, though wear on seals and bearings warrants inspection. Speed range and capacity alignment with intended applications remains important for operational efficiency.
