Clinical laboratory centrifuges

Clinical laboratory centrifuges support routine sample processing in compatible tubes and containers. Choose by daily workload, required RCF, tube sizes and the complete rotor configuration.

Select equipment and request a quotation

Compare loading formats

Compact routine work: XZ-4A and TD4 for smaller batches of standard tubes.
Broader tube formats: XZ-6 and TDZ5-WS for laboratories handling tubes up to the supported 50–100 ml formats.
Larger routine loads: TD6B and TD6, with capacity up to 4×500 ml depending on the rotor.

Preparing the specification

List tube types, the required number per run and the protocol parameters. Compare instruments using a compatible rotor and adapter set; maximum speed and maximum capacity may belong to different configurations.

What to compare before ordering

Criterion	What to verify
Rotor and protocol	Required RCF, rotor type and permitted operating conditions of the combination
Containers	Tube volume and dimensions, lids, buckets and adapters
Throughput	Samples per cycle, run duration and frequency
Temperature and control	Cooling requirement, programmes, acceleration and braking

Questions before selection and procurement

Why is maximum rpm insufficient for selection?

Compare the protocol’s required RCF for the specific rotor. Maximum speed and maximum capacity may refer to different rotors on the same centrifuge.

Are the rotor and adapters included in the price?

Check the quotation specification. List every tube or container format and the required buckets, adapters and lids.

How is the need for cooling determined?

Use the method’s temperature requirements, run duration and sample characteristics. Verify cooling capability and operating conditions for the selected instrument and rotor.

What is needed to compare quotations?

A technical specification and an equivalent equipment list for each option. Specify quantity, installation or use location, compatible accessories and documentation requirements. This supports comparison of the complete cost of the required solution.

Configuration and documentation

Record the exact model, version, standard equipment and optional items in the quotation. Request the manual and specification with the conditions under which performance figures are determined. Agree procurement documentation, availability, delivery, warranty and service work for the specific supply.
