Clinical environments demand precision and safety during sample processing, yet many benchtop units are bulky, loud, and difficult to maintain. The Heathrow Scientific Clinical Centrifuge provides a powerful, compact, and maintenance-free solution designed specifically for clinical chemistry, immunology, and blood banking applications.
Engineered for superb function, this 8-place centrifuge features adjustable speeds from 500 to 6,000 RPM, which can be easily set in either RPM or RCF. Its digitally controlled brushless motor ensures accurate speed control without the need for periodic motor maintenance. With programmable memory for up to 8 custom protocols and a back-lit digital display, this unit streamlines high-traffic diagnostic workflows while maximizing limited bench space.
Features and Benefits
Powerful Performance: Adjustable speeds from 500 to 6,000 RPM (up to 4,668 x g) accommodate a wide range of clinical separation protocols.
Maintenance-Free Motor: Advanced brushless motor technology provides exceptionally quiet operation and eliminates the need for brush replacements.
Custom Programmability: Features programmable memory that stores up to 8 distinct spin protocols for standardized batch processing.
Enhanced Safety Interlocks: Integrated sensors automatically halt operation if sample imbalance, tilt, or a lid opening is detected.
Tool-Less Operation: Rotors can be removed and loaded without the use of tools, simplifying the cleaning and sterilization process.
IVDR Class A Compliant: Certified for in-vitro diagnostic use in clinical microbiology and immunology settings.

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens during a power failure?
The unit features a manual lid unlock mechanism that allows researchers to safely open the lid and retrieve samples in the event of a total power loss.
Can I verify the speed externally?
Yes. The clear lid includes a viewing porthole designed to allow non-contact speed verification using a handheld tachometer.
Are the rotors interchangeable?
The unit comes standard with a tool-less 8-place 15mL tube rotor, designed for rapid loading and easy sanitation.
