FAQ
What is a centrifuge?
A centrifuge is a laboratory device that separates liquid components or particles using centrifugal force. This allows different components in samples to be analyzed efficiently and accurately.
How does a centrifuge work?
A centrifuge spins sample tubes at high speeds. Heavier components move to the bottom of the tube, while lighter components remain at the top, enabling clear separation of blood, serum, or other liquids.
What are centrifuges used for in laboratories?
Centrifuges are used for blood samples, plasma and serum separation, cell isolation, DNA/RNA research, and various industrial processes. They are essential for fast, reliable laboratory analysis.
What types of centrifuges are available?
There are benchtop centrifuges, microcentrifuges, hematocrit centrifuges, rotor-based centrifuges, and larger models for high-volume samples. Many can be equipped with adapters to fit different tube types.
What are the advantages of Hettich centrifuges?
Hettich centrifuges are known for precision, reliability, and ease of use. They provide reproducible results, fast sample processing, and high operational safety for daily laboratory work.
Which features do Hettich centrifuges offer?
Hettich centrifuges include programmable speed settings, temperature control, soft start/stop functions, and various rotor adapters, making them suitable for both standard and specialized samples.
Are centrifuges energy-efficient?
Yes, modern centrifuges, including Hettich models, use energy-efficient motors and environmentally-friendly designs, reducing power consumption and operating costs without compromising performance.
Can centrifuges be used for specialized samples?
Yes, there are specialized centrifuges for micro-samples, hematocrit, cytology samples, and other applications. Hettich offers centrifuges like Mikro 185/200/220, Haematokrit 200, and Cyto System to cover most laboratory needs.
Are Hettich centrifuges easy to operate?
Yes, Hettich centrifuges feature intuitive control panels, safety functions, and pre-programmed protocols, allowing laboratory staff to set up and monitor centrifugation processes easily and safely.
