FAQ

How do I choose the right centrifuge for my application?
The right centrifuge depends on your sample type, required speed, tube size, capacity, and laboratory workflow. Our specialists can help you select the most suitable model for your application.
What rotor types are available for centrifuges?

The most common rotor types are fixed-angle rotors and swing-out rotors. Fixed-angle rotors are typically used for faster separations and high-speed pelleting, making them suitable for DNA/RNA extraction, protein precipitation, cell pelleting, and microbiology workflows. Swing-out rotors are ideal when clear layer separation is required, such as in blood fractionation, clinical diagnostics, density gradient centrifugation, and serum or plasma preparation.

Do I need a refrigerated or heated centrifuge?

If your samples are temperature-sensitive, a refrigerated centrifuge helps maintain controlled conditions during centrifugation, which is important in molecular biology, clinical, and pharmaceutical laboratories. Heated centrifuges may be preferred for applications where samples need to remain above ambient temperature to prevent precipitation or maintain reaction conditions.

Is centrifuge validation required in regulated laboratories?

In regulated environments such as pharmaceutical, clinical, and GMP laboratories, centrifuges may require equipment qualification and validation to demonstrate they perform consistently and meet regulatory requirements. Speak to our team to find out more.

Do centrifuges need rotor inspection or replacement?
Yes. Rotors should be regularly inspected for corrosion, cracks, or wear, as damaged rotors can pose safety risks. Manufacturers often recommend scheduled inspection or replacement depending on usage. These checks are typically carried out during periodic servicing visits. Speak to our team to learn more about the servicing plans available.
Do you offer centrifuge servicing and maintenance plans?

Yes. We offer preventative maintenance and servicing plans to help laboratories maintain performance, safety, and compliance. Customers who purchase their centrifuge through us may also benefit from discounted servicing options. Speak to our team to learn more about available plans.
