Intended Use
•
This centrifuge is a laboratory product designed to separate components by generation of Relative
Centrifugal Force. It separates human samples (e.g. blood, urine and other body fluids) collected in
appropriate containers, either alone or after addition of reagents or other additives.
•
As general purpose centrifuge, it is designed to also run other containers filled with chemicals,
environmental samples and other non-human body samples.
•
Together with the hematocrit rotor 75003473 the centrifuge can be used as an in-vitro diagnostics
device to determine the haemat
o
crit value by using centrifugation. Apply DIN 58933 to determine
the hematoc
r
it value.
•
The centrifuge is to be used for separating materials of different density or particle size suspended
in a liquid.
Maximum sample density at maximum speed: 1.2
