PHOENIX Instrument small centrifuge CD-0424

This small centrifuge is ideal for laboratories with high precision requirements and limited space. Thanks to its speed range of 500 to 4,000 revolutions per minute (rpm), it reliably handles a wide variety of sample preparations and enables clean, reproducible separation. Compared to similar devices, this model impresses with its sophisticated operation, long service life and flexibility, which is advantageous for both blood and urine tests. The integrated swing-out rotor for 4 × 50 ml makes it particularly interesting for medical laboratories, research laboratories and veterinary facilities. The [PHOENIX Instrument small centrifuge CD-1020] is similarly equipped, but can be designed for users with higher speed requirements.

Description and technical details

The compact design enables space-saving placement on the laboratory bench, while the low operating noise of less than 62 dB(A) facilitates long-term work without disturbing background noise. With a graduation of 100 rpm, a precise setting is possible, which can be adjusted according to the experimental set-up. Particularly useful is the ability to set and read the rotation speed either in rpm or based on the RCF value (g), which greatly simplifies handling for specific laboratory applications.

Different acceleration and deceleration levels (three or four selectable) allow sensitive samples to be handled gently. The automatic lid lock and integrated speed control contribute to a high standard of safety, while the brushless motor can withstand high loads in the long term. The scope of delivery already includes the rotor and suitable adapters so that it can be used immediately after unpacking.

Key technical data at a glance:
– Speed range: 500 to 4,000 rpm
– Maximum RCF: 2,500 g
– Filling quantity: up to 4 × 50 ml
– Time: 1-99 minutes or continuous operation
– Dimensions: 37 × 44 × 27 cm
– Power supply: 100-240 V / 50/60 Hz
– Output: 70 W
– Noise level: Under 62 dB(A)

Saving programs is easy at the touch of a button, so that frequently used settings can be called up directly at the touch of a button. An acoustic warning and internal diagnostic functions provide early warning of any irregularities. In addition, the door lock ensures safe working by preventing opening during operation.

Certifications and standards

The increased safety provided by the door interlock and speed control supports typical requirements in laboratories and medical facilities. As a rule, the appliance complies with applicable standards regarding electrical safety and machinery directives. This conformity with standards guarantees reliability and enables use in a wide range of countries and regions.

Application examples

– Hospitals and laboratory service providers use this centrifuge to separate blood in order to obtain serum or plasma for further examination.
– Doctors in veterinary medicine benefit from the easy handling when it comes to processing samples from smaller animal species
– Research institutions use the centrifuge to separate cell components, bacteria or virus particles.
– Industrial laboratories use the device to examine urine or other samples, for example in the pharmaceutical and chemical sectors.

FAQs

How often does the rotor need to be changed or serviced?

Replacement is rarely necessary as the rotor used is designed to be robust. However, it should be checked regularly for damage or material wear and replaced if necessary.

Which sample vessels are compatible

The scope of delivery includes adapters for various tube sizes, including common 50 ml, 15 ml and 10 ml tubes. For special tubes, the size can usually be adjusted using additional adapters.

How is cleaning carried out?

The surface should be wiped with a suitable disinfectant after each use. The rotor can be removed for thorough cleaning and maintained with a neutral cleaner. Take care not to use corrosive substances and to dry the appliance completely before using it again.

Can the speed be changed during operation?

If necessary, the speed can also be adjusted during operation. A short delay occurs so that the device does not abruptly switch to a higher or lower speed, thereby protecting the samples.

Conclusion

The high degree of flexibility when using different sample containers and the robust design make this device a reliable partner in laboratories with varied requirements. The intelligent combination of safety functions, user-friendly operation and powerful motor ensures smooth processes. If you are looking for compact and versatile laboratory equipment, this is a convincing choice.
