Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about our products and services.

A: Benchtop centrifuges are compact units designed for smaller sample volumes and routine lab work. Floor standing centrifuges offer higher speeds, larger capacities, and advanced rotor options for demanding research or industrial applications.

A: Selection depends on sample type, tube size, and desired separation. Swing bucket rotors are ideal for density gradients, while fixed angle rotors are best for pelleting. Our team can guide you to the most efficient option.

A: The k factor measures rotor efficiency. A lower k factor means faster sedimentation and shorter run times, while a higher k factor requires longer spins. It helps you compare rotors beyond just RPM or g force.

A:Use the formula: [ RCF = 1.118 \times 10^{-5} \cdot r \cdot (RPM)^2 ] where r is the radius in centimeters. We also provide built in calculators in our manuals.

A: Our centrifuges include imbalance detection, automatic lid locks, emergency shut off, and reinforced rotor chambers to ensure operator safety.

A: Yes, provided you use the correct rotor and tube type. Always follow biosafety guidelines and decontaminate between runs.

A: Use sealed tubes or safety caps, and ensure proper balancing. For infectious samples, we recommend biosafety rotors with containment lids.

A: Absolutely. We offer a wide range of adapters and rotor configurations to fit most standard labware.

A: Adjust centrifugation time based on the k factor. Our manuals include conversion tables to simplify this process.

A: All units include a standard two year warranty, with extended coverage available. Warranty covers parts, labor, and rotor integrity.

A: Yes, we provide annual service packages that include calibration, rotor inspection, and performance validation.

A: Most issues can be resolved by checking tube balance, rotor seating, and lid closure. Our support team is available for step by step guidance.

A: Yes, all models are CE marked and ISO certified.

A: We supply full validation packages to support regulatory compliance in GMP and GLP environments.

A: Our production facilities use energy efficient processes, recyclable materials, and eco friendly packaging.
