Description

The High-Performance Centrifuge is built for laboratories that demand precision, safety, and reliability. Featuring a brushless frequency motor with high torque, this centrifuge delivers fast acceleration and deceleration while remaining maintenance-free and free from carbon powder pollution.
Its microprocessor-controlled system paired with a digital LCD display provides clear readouts of time, speed, and RCF, ensuring accurate and repeatable results. With 10 selectable acceleration and deceleration profiles, operators can tailor centrifugation runs to meet specific application needs.
Safety is at the core of this unit. Equipped with an automatic electric lid lock, overspeed and overtemperature protection, and imbalance detection, the centrifuge ensures reliable operation under every run. The all-steel body, stainless-steel chamber, and three-tier safety protection system further enhance durability and user confidence.
Designed for efficiency, the rotor connects to the spindle via a specialized taper sleeve, making loading simple, quick, and direction-free. This minimizes downtime while maximizing workflow productivity.
