What is a centrifuge?

A centrifuge is a laboratory or industrial device that uses centrifugal force to separate components of a mixture based on density or particle size. By spinning at high speeds, the centrifuge rotor forces heavier substances (like red blood cells) to settle at the bottom while lighter components (like plasma) remain on top, allowing rapid and effective separation. Core components include the motor, rotor, and control system, all of which can be adapted to various speeds and container types. Centrifuges are essential tools in everything from basic lab work to clinical diagnostics.

What types of centrifuges does SISCO offer?

• Mini/Digital Mini Centrifuges: This type of lab centrifuge features a space-saving design, making it ideal for micro-volume separation tasks. Digital models come with LED displays for precise speed/time control; standard versions offer simple one-button operation. Ideal for PCR tubes, microcentrifuge tubes, and small-volume clinical or molecular biology samples.
• High-Speed Refrigerated Centrifuges: These refrigerated centrifuges' accurate temperature control from -10°C to 40°C range ensures stability for sensitive samples like nucleic acids and proteins. And the high-speed separation is up to 20,000 rpm with interchangeable rotors for flexible sample volumes. Features include imbalance detection, auto shut-off, and more.
• 4000–5500 rpm Low-Speed Benchtop Centrifuges: Compatible with both swing-out and angle rotors to accommodate a variety of tube types and sample volumes. Among them, the model of 5500 rpm low-speed benchtop centrifuge stands out with support for up to 10 interchangeable rotors, offering exceptional flexibility for diverse lab protocols.
• Blood Serum Centrifuges: Specially developed for blood group serology, cross-matching, Coombs tests, and red blood cell washing procedures. Speeds up to 4000 rpm with precise control (±20 rpm) and relative centrifugal force (RCF) up to 2180×g; this type of centrifuge is ideal for gel card-based microcolumn agglutination methods.

What are centrifuges used for?

• Life Sciences & Medical Research: Centrifuges play a key role in separating cell organelles, proteins, or viral particles. They’re vital in DNA/RNA extraction, protein precipitation, and other steps in genetic engineering and biopharma. In clinical settings, centrifuge machines are used to isolate plasma, serum, red cells, and leukocytes for diagnostic tests.
• Environmental Testing: Used to separate suspended solids, microbes, or heavy metals from water and soil samples for environmental monitoring. In wastewater treatment, centrifuges help separate oil from water or sludge from liquids efficiently.
• Petrochemical & Energy Sector: Centrifuge equipment removes water and solids from crude oil, improving fuel quality. They are also used to refine biodiesel by separating glycerin from plant oils or animal fats.
• Biopharmaceutical & Industrial Production: Centrifuges purify vaccines, antibodies, and fermentation products by removing cells and debris. They also process dairy (e.g., cream separation), extract enzymes, and clarify fruit juices for improved stability and product quality.
