Unico Power Spin LX Centrifuge - Refurbished
The Unico Powerspin LX centrifuge is a high-performance laboratory instrument designed for efficient separation of mixtures based on density. It offers a wide range of applications in various fields such as medical, scientific research, pharmaceutical, and more. The centrifuge's powerful motor and advanced features make it a valuable asset in any laboratory setting.
The Unico Powerspin LX centrifuge is primarily used to separate different components of a mixture by utilizing the principle of centrifugal force. It can accommodate a variety of sample types, including blood, urine, serum, plasma, and other bodily fluids. The centrifuge operates by spinning the samples at high speeds, causing the denser components to settle at the bottom while the lighter ones rise to the top. This separation enables the collection of pure samples for further analysis or diagnostic purposes.
Benefits:
- Rapid and Efficient Separation: The centrifuge's powerful motor enables quick acceleration and deceleration, resulting in fast separation times and increased productivity in the laboratory.
- Versatile and Adjustable: The Unico Powerspin LX offers various speed and time settings, allowing users to tailor the centrifuge's parameters to their specific needs.
- User-Friendly Design: The centrifuge features a user-friendly interface with clear LCD displays and intuitive controls, making it easy to operate even for those with limited experience.
- Compact and Space-Saving: With its compact design, the centrifuge occupies minimal space on the benchtop, making it suitable for laboratories with limited space.
