Frequently asked questions
How many micro-tubes can the centrifuge hold?
The Unico PowerSpin BX C883 Centrifuge features a 24-place microcentrifuge tube rotor. This provides a substantial nominal capacity, accommodating 24 micro-tubes that can range in size from 0.5 ml up to 3.0 ml. This high capacity is ideal for efficiently processing multiple micro-volume samples.
What is the maximum speed and RCF?
The Unico PowerSpin BX C883 is a high-speed laboratory centrifuge designed for maximum performance and precise control.
- Maximum Speed: The unit achieves a top speed of 13,000 RPM.
- Maximum RCF (Relative Centrifugal Force): This translates to a powerful force of 11,093 g.
- Variable Speed Range: The speed is digitally adjustable from 1,000 RPM up to 13,000 RPM.
This high performance is driven by a quiet, maintenance-free Brushless DC Motor.
What is the maximum RCF separation force?
The Unico PowerSpin BX C883 Centrifuge delivers a powerful maximum Relative Centrifugal Force (RCF) of 11,093 g.
This high separation force is ideal for laboratory applications that require rapid and efficient processing of micro-volume samples.
This maximum RCF is achieved through the following performance specifications:
- Max Speed: 13,000 RPM
- Speed Control: Variable speed range from 1,000 RPM up to 13,000 RPM.
- Rotor Capacity: Fixed 24-place rotor, accommodating 24 microcentrifuge tubes (0.5 ml to 3.0 ml).
What advanced safety features are included?
The Unico PowerSpin BX C883 Centrifuge includes robust, integrated safety mechanisms to ensure secure operation:
- Zero RPM Lid Safety Lock: This feature prevents the lid from being opened until the rotor has completely ceased movement.
- Auto Unbalance Detection: An internal sensor monitors the rotor stability and automatically shuts down the unit if an imbalance is detected.
- Automatic Rotor Recognition: The system verifies the installed rotor type, ensuring that appropriate speed limits and operational parameters are maintained.
Does it feature a powerful, quiet motor?
Yes, the Unico PowerSpin BX C883 Centrifuge is equipped with a maintenance-free Brushless DC Motor. This motor ensures powerful and quiet operation, providing reliable performance for various laboratory applications.
Does the centrifuge have a durable, chemical-resistant exterior?
Yes, the Unico PowerSpin BX C883 Centrifuge features a chemical-resistant exterior. This design makes it easy to clean and disinfect, which is essential for maintaining a sterile laboratory environment.
Does the centrifuge feature a precise digital timer?
Yes, the Unico PowerSpin BX C883 Centrifuge includes a precise digital timer for accurate control over run durations, which is essential for laboratory procedures. The timer offers flexibility for various protocols:
- The runtime can be set digitally from 0 up to 99 minutes.
- Operational data, including the countdown timer and current speed, is displayed in real-time on the oversized LCD display.
Does it come in multiple voltage options?
Yes, the Unico PowerSpin BX C883 Centrifuge is offered in two voltage configurations to accommodate various laboratory standards:
- Standard 110V/60Hz: This is the common configuration for the US market (SKU: UCO-C883).
- 220V/50Hz: An alternative configuration for regions requiring higher voltage input (SKU: UCO-C883E).
