Globe Scientific 24-Place Hematocrit Rotor Overview
The Globe Scientific Hematocrit Rotor (GCH-24-ROT-H) is engineered for use with the GCH Series hematocrit centrifuge. This 24-place rotor accommodates a full batch of capillary tubes in a single run, supporting higher throughput in clinical and research workflows. Each unit ships with a lid and a reading disk.
Rated to a maximum of 12,000 rpm, the rotor delivers the high relative centrifugal force needed to pack red cells and resolve a clear hematocrit boundary. The integrated reading disk lets technicians measure packed cell volume directly after the spin, reducing handling steps. Built as a dedicated GCH accessory, it drops into the matched centrifuge without modification.
Laboratories standardizing on the GCH platform can specify this rotor as a direct replacement or as a spare for continuous operation. Sold individually, it suits both single-instrument labs and multi-unit facilities planning consistent maintenance stock.

Laboratory Applications
Hematocrit rotors support packed cell volume determination, a routine measurement in hematology and veterinary diagnostics. Technicians load sealed capillary tubes into the rotor positions, then spin them to separate cellular components from plasma. With 24 places, a single cycle processes a sizable batch, helping clinical labs keep pace with sample volume.
Research and quality-control settings also rely on hematocrit spins to assess blood concentration and sample integrity. The included reading disk lets staff read results immediately, streamlining anemia screening, hydration assessment, and study sample preparation on the GCH platform.
Ordering & Bulk Pricing
The GCH-24-ROT-H rotor is sold individually (1 each) through LabSupplies.com. Procurement teams supporting multiple GCH centrifuges can order several units to maintain spares and minimize downtime. Contact LabSupplies.com for case quantities, institutional purchase orders, and volume pricing on multi-unit and standing orders.
