General Purpose Centrifuge 8-Place - 12096 Series - Heathrow Scientific

Modern laboratories require a versatile centrifugation platform that can transition seamlessly between forensic, industrial, and pharmaceutical protocols without requiring constant hardware adjustments. The Heathrow Scientific General Purpose Centrifuge is a high-performance benchtop unit geared for middle-to-high volume requirements across a vast range of testing sites.

Featuring an adjustable speed range of 500 to 6,000 RPM, this maintenance-free centrifuge utilizes a digitally controlled brushless motor for absolute precision. The unit includes programmable memory for up to 8 distinct protocols, allowing researchers to standardize workflows in cellular biology, immunology, and quality control. Compact and quiet, it optimizes workspace while delivering the high RCF necessary for rigorous analytical chemistry and clinical diagnostics.

Features and Benefits

• Versatile Speed Performance: Variable speeds from 500 to 6,000 RPM can be dialed in via RPM or RCF to match specific application needs.

• Digital Protocol Memory: Save up to 8 custom programs to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and rapid protocol transitions.

• Quiet, Brushless Operation: The high-efficiency brushless motor eliminates mechanical noise and prevents vibration interference on the lab bench.

• Compact Footprint: Designed for workspace utilization, providing high-capacity 8-place rotor performance within a small, bench-top frame.

• Enhanced Safety Logic: Built-in sensors detect sample imbalance, tilt, or lid obstruction and halt the rotor automatically.
