Be it for industrial laboratories, research centers, or educational institutions such as schools, the SBS-LZ-4000 / 20-6 microcentrifuge from Steinberg is the ideal addition to your scientific equipment.
This centrifuge is especially suitable for biochemical work with little sample volumes. The electric drive of this remarkably compact centrifuge has 110 Watts. By means of the rotor, the drive can simultaneously process six 20 ml tubes , with the positions of the tubes being numbered. The speed of 3,200 rpm is continuously adjustable and, when at maximum, it produces a relative centrifugal acceleration of 1,200 xg. The unit is equipped with a switch-off timer, which can be set between 0 and 30 minutes. For those situations when the centrifugation time is over 30 min, a continuous operation is provided. During the centrifugation process, the device is remarkably stable, thanks to the three suction feet. Additionally, the plastic cover protects the samples from contamination. To ensure that the air cooling operates with high functionality, you should make sure that the ambient temperature is in between 0 and 30°C. Especially when dealing with insoluble solidified liquids, filtration cannot deliver good results anymore, as the solid material would clog the filter paper. In these cases, you need to use a centrifuge. By means of the continuously adjustable rotation speed, a high centrifugal force will be generated and the solid particles will be separated from the liquid. Due to their higher inertia, solids, particles or process liquids and gasess with higher density will advance towards the exterior, pushed to the bottom of the tube. After removing the tube, you can simply decant the liquid.
