Unico Micro-Hematocrit Centrifuge

Yes, the Unico Micro-Hematocrit Centrifuge is available in both 110 V and 220 V voltage options to accommodate different laboratory electrical requirements.

Yes, the Unico Micro-Hematocrit Centrifuge is sold as a complete system and includes the Microhematocrit Reader (#CMH30-Reader).

This accessory allows for immediate and accurate measurement of your sample results, providing everything needed for hematocrit determination right out of the box.

The Unico Micro-Hematocrit Centrifuge incorporates several robust features to ensure safe and dependable operation, especially at its high nominal speed of 12,000 RPM:

• Lid Safety Interlock: A safety switch integrated into the handle assembly immediately cuts power and activates braking if the lid latch is lifted, preventing access to the spinning rotor.
• Electric Motor Braking: This system provides fast, controlled electric braking for efficient and rapid stopping once the run is complete.
• Secure Rotor Assembly: The 24-place aluminum shell rotor is protected by a durable screw-down metal lid and a replaceable rubber ring to ensure reliable sample containment during centrifugation.
• Durable Housing: The unit is constructed with a durable ABS plastic housing which encases an inner metal chamber for enhanced stability and structural integrity.
• Operational Indicator: An indicator light clearly displays when the centrifuge is actively in use.

Yes, the Unico Micro-Hematocrit Centrifuge operates at a high nominal speed of 12,000 RPM. This fixed speed is crucial for rapid and efficient separation necessary for micro-hematocrit determinations. The unit is designed for reliable, high-speed performance, featuring:

• Rotor Capacity: Accommodates twenty-four (24) tubes.
• Timing: Controlled by a dependable mechanical 5-minute timer that signals the end of the run with an audible bell.
• Safety Stopping: Includes an electric motor braking system to quickly and safely stop the rotor after completion.

The Unico Micro-Hematocrit Centrifuge is specifically designed to work with 75 mm micro-hematocrit tubes for optimal performance and accurate results.

Yes, the Unico Micro-Hematocrit Centrifuge is engineered for stable, smooth, and controlled high-speed operation, minimizing vibration and noise. It achieves a nominal speed of 12,000 RPM for efficient separation.

Key design features that contribute to its smooth performance include:

• Vibration Reduction: The air-cooled, brush-type AC motor is secured on specialized rubber mounts to effectively dampen operational vibration, ensuring quieter use.
• Stability and Durability: The unit features a durable ABS plastic housing and a solid inner metal chamber, which provide structural stability during high-speed runs.
• Controlled Deceleration: The inclusion of electric motor braking ensures the rotor stops efficiently and smoothly once the cycle is complete.

The Unico Micro-Hematocrit Centrifuge features a high-capacity twenty-four (24) place rotor, optimized for routine micro-sample separation.

This rotor is specifically designed to accommodate 75 mm centrifuge tubes.

To ensure reliable and safe high-speed operation (up to 12,000 RPM), the rotor assembly is built for durability and security:

• The rotor shell is constructed from lightweight yet durable aluminum.
• It features a secure screw-down metal lid and a replaceable rubber ring to stabilize the tubes during centrifugation.

The Unico Micro-Hematocrit Centrifuge features a dependable mechanical 5-minute timer that includes a bell signal for accurate and convenient timing of your runs.

Yes, the Unico Micro-Hematocrit Centrifuge is equipped with electric motor braking for quick and secure deceleration after the 5-minute spin cycle.

This feature is part of the centrifuge’s comprehensive safety and operational design, which also includes:

• Electric Motor Braking: Ensures rapid slowdown of the 24-place rotor upon completion of the timer, enhancing safety and workflow.
• Safety Switch: A built-in switch in the latch assembly immediately cuts off motor power if the lid is lifted during operation.
• Indicator Light: Provides clear visual confirmation whenever the unit is actively running.

Yes, the Unico Micro-Hematocrit Centrifuge is designed with robust materials to ensure reliability and long-term use in a demanding laboratory setting. The construction emphasizes stability and operational longevity:

• Housing and Chamber: The exterior uses durable ABS plastic housing, which surrounds a sturdy inner metal chamber for stability and safety.
• Rotor Assembly: The 24-place rotor is constructed with a durable aluminum shell and secured by a screw-down metal lid.
• Vibration Reduction: The air-cooled AC motor is mounted on rubber isolators to effectively dampen vibration, minimize wear, and ensure quieter operation during runs at 12,000 RPM.
• Safety Features: For dependable operation, the unit includes an integrated safety switch that immediately cuts power when the lid is lifted, complemented by electric motor braking.
