Micro Centrifuge 

Means to use for volume up to 2.2ml micro-tubes of DNA 
precipitations and purifications. 
 

 

Micro Haematocrit Centrifuge 

Designed for use of 24 places of 1.2mm (or 1.5mm) x 75mm (Dep.) 
capillary tubes for HCT test, which defines the percentage of Red 
Blood Cells against the whole body reflecting the status of Red 
blood Cells.    The normal value of HCT for male is 40 – 54% and 
38 – 47% for female. 
 

 

Universal Centrifuge 

Accommodated with different sizes and types of Rotors for the 
appropriate tests.     
 

 

g Force 

The measurement for samples undergoing the stress of 
acceleration in a centrifuge. 
 

 

RCF 

Relative Centrifugal Force

 

RCF is the centrifugal force that the samples undergoes which 
relies on the speed of rotation 

N

in rpm and the rotating radius

R

.    The rotating radius is measured from the center axis of 

rotor to the extreme end of the centrifuge tubes. 
 

 

Formula

RCF = 11.18 x r x ( N / 1000)² 

 

 

Swing-out Rotors

 

 

Ideal for cell culturing applications because sediment forms on the 
bottom of the tubes. 

 

Fixed-Angle Rotors

 

Ideal for pelleting applications because sediment collects 
diagonally in the tube.    Higher rotational speeds and higher 
g-forces are achieved using fixed-angle rotors. 

 

Round bottom Tubes

 

Have a uniform wall thickness and provides a better fit in a rotor 
than conical bottom tubes. Round tubes withstand higher g-forces. 

 

Conical bottom Tubes

 

Ideal for cell culturing and ammonium sulfate precipitations.
