Hematocrit Centrifuge (Digital Timer & RPM)
Free!
Description
The Hematocrit Centrifuge with Digital Timer & RPM Control is a specialized laboratory instrument engineered for the rapid and accurate determination of hematocrit values in blood samples. Designed with a digital interface, it offers precise control over both spin duration and rotational speed (RPM), making it a reliable choice for clinical, research, and diagnostic applications. This centrifuge is essential in hematology for separating plasma from red blood cells, enabling the calculation of the packed cell volume (PCV) or hematocrit percentage.
With its high-speed motor and custom-tuned rotor for microcapillary tubes, this centrifuge ensures rapid separation—often within minutes—while the digital controls allow exact reproducibility between tests. The built-in digital timer enhances efficiency, while RPM display ensures adherence to testing protocols, especially in regulated clinical environments.

Comparison to Basic Centrifuges:
Unlike general-purpose or manual centrifuges, this model is purpose-built for hematocrit testing, featuring tighter tube accommodation, faster RPMs, and finer control over parameters. Its digital display offers enhanced accuracy compared to analog counterparts, making it ideal for high-throughput or regulated environments.
Quality & Compliance:
Many hematocrit centrifuges in this category are manufactured in accordance with international medical equipment standards. They often use materials resistant to chemical exposure and biological contamination, ensuring both operator safety and instrument longevity.
Whether you’re performing routine blood analysis in a clinic or engaging in hematology research, this digital hematocrit centrifuge provides speed, accuracy, and operational confidence—all in a compact, modern design.
