Benchtop Low-Speed Digital Centrifuge RS-0424 for Medical and Laboratory Use
The RS-0424 digital centrifuge is a benchtop low-speed unit designed for routine applications in clinical and healthcare laboratories. It operates within a range of 500 to 4,000 rpm, with 100 rpm increments and an accuracy of ±100 rpm, ensuring reliable and reproducible centrifugation results.
It provides a maximum relative centrifugal force of 2,500 g, adjustable in 100 g increments, and a capacity of up to 4 × 50 ml depending on the rotor used. It features a brushless DC motor, delivering stable, quiet and maintenance-free operation, with acceleration time of 3 seconds and braking time of 4 seconds to optimise workflow efficiency.
Control is managed via an LCD display, allowing clear visualisation of speed and time parameters. It includes a timer adjustable from 1 to 99 minutes and a continuous operation mode (HOLD), making it suitable for a wide range of laboratory protocols.
The unit integrates three pre-set programmes for common clinical applications: blood (3,200 rpm, 10 min), urine (1,800 rpm, 5 min) and faecal samples (1,300 rpm, 10 min), streamlining routine laboratory work.
In terms of safety, it features automatic internal diagnostics and an audible alert at the end of the cycle or when the lid is opened via the release button. Its noise level ≤ 62 dB ensures a comfortable working environment.
It operates on single-phase power supply of 100–240 V, 50/60 Hz. The unit dimensions are 364 × 440 × 268 mm and it has an approximate weight of 14.5 kg, providing a compact and stable benchtop solution.
The centrifuge is supplied without rotor, allowing configuration with different optional heads according to user requirements. It is compatible with both swing-out and fixed-angle rotors for various tube capacities and formats, offering high versatility for laboratory applications.
Compatible Rotors and Configuration
The RS-0424 centrifuge is supplied without rotor, enabling users to configure the unit according to specific laboratory requirements. This modular setup allows adaptation to different sample types, volumes and analytical procedures.
The unit is compatible with the following optional rotors:
• Swing-out rotor for 4 × 50 ml tubes, also compatible with 15 ml Falcon tubes and 13 × 75 mm Vacutainer tubes using included adapters.
• Swing-out rotor for 6 × 15 ml tubes, also suitable for Vacutainer tubes with adapters.
• Fixed-angle rotor for 24 × 15 ml tubes, also compatible with Vacutainer tubes using adapters.
• Mixed fixed-angle rotor for 12 × 10 ml and 8 × 15 ml tubes.
• Fixed-angle rotor for 8 × 15 ml tubes.
Supplying the unit without rotor allows users to select only the most suitable configuration for their application, optimising investment and avoiding unnecessary components. This flexibility is particularly beneficial in environments handling multiple sample types and centrifugation protocols.
