Frequently asked questions
What highly versatile rotors are included?
The PowerSpin BX C884 is supplied standard with a dual rotor system designed for maximum versatility in laboratory and clinical settings:
- 8-Place Fixed Angle Rotor (Blood Tubes)
- Capacity: 6 x 10 ml or 12 ml tubes (up to 17 x 105 mm).
- Performance: Operates from 1000 up to 5000 RPM, achieving a maximum RCF of 2570 g.
- 24-Place Microhematocrit Rotor (Capillary Tubes)
- Capacity: 24 capillary tubes (1.5 x 75 mm).
- Performance: High-speed capability, ranging from 1000 up to 11000 RPM, generating a maximum RCF of 11634 g.
- Unique Feature: The rotor cover integrates an instant reading feature, allowing you to read microhematocrit results immediately without requiring additional specimen handling.
Is the centrifuge equipped with advanced safety features?
Yes, the Unico PowerSpin BX C884 Centrifuge is equipped with an advanced safety system to ensure secure and reliable laboratory operation.
Key features designed for user and unit protection include:
- Zero RPM Lid Safety Lock: The lid automatically locks and remains secured until the rotor has reached a complete standstill, preventing accidental opening during operation.
- Automatic Rotor Recognition and Shutdown: This system identifies the installed rotor type and works in conjunction with the Rotor Unbalance Sensor. If an imbalance or incompatible rotor condition is detected, the centrifuge automatically shuts down.
- Durable, Chemical-Resistant Exterior: The finish is easy to clean and disinfect, contributing to overall laboratory hygiene and safety.
How fast can the dual rotors spin?
The Unico PowerSpin BX C884 includes two versatile, high-performance rotors to suit different laboratory needs:
-
Fixed Angle Rotor (8 Place): Designed for routine blood separation (up to 6 x 10ml or 12ml tubes), this rotor operates up to 5,000 RPM, generating a maximum Relative Centrifugal Force (RCF) of 2,570 g.
-
Microhematocrit Rotor (24 Place): Built for high-speed microhematocrit determinations, this rotor reaches significantly higher speeds, operating up to 11,000 RPM. This generates a powerful maximum RCF of 11,634 g. This rotor also features an integrated reader on the cover for instant results.
What maximum RCF values do the dual rotors achieve?
The Unico PowerSpin BX C884 Centrifuge is highly versatile as it comes standard with two specialized rotors, each offering distinct maximum Relative Centrifugal Force (RCF) capabilities:
- Fixed Angle Rotor (8-Place): Achieves a maximum RCF of 2,570 g (operating up to 5000 RPM).
- Microhematocrit Rotor (24-Place): Reaches a powerful maximum RCF of 11,634 g (operating up to 11000 RPM).
Does it support versatile tube capacities?
Yes, the Unico PowerSpin BX C884 Centrifuge is highly versatile, as it comes standard with two different interchangeable rotors to handle varying sample types and sizes.
This provides capability for both standard blood processing and microhematocrit analysis:
- 8-Place Fixed Angle Rotor (for standard blood tubes):
- Nominal Capacity: 6 x 10 ml or 12 ml tubes
- Maximum Test Tube Size: 17 x 105 mm
- 24-Place Microhematocrit Rotor:
- Nominal Capacity: 24 capillary tubes (1.5 x 75 mm)
- Maximum Test Tube Size: 1.5 x 75 mm
Does this centrifuge feature a quiet, high-quality motor?
Yes, the Unico PowerSpin BX C884 Centrifuge uses a powerful, maintenance-free brushless DC motor.
This motor type is specifically designed to enhance the laboratory experience by providing:
- Super Quiet Performance: Ensures minimal noise disruption during operation.
- Low Maintenance: The brushless design means zero routine upkeep is required.
- Reliability: Delivers consistent, high-speed performance needed for both the fixed angle and microhematocrit rotors.
What are the precise digital timer options?
The Unico PowerSpin BX C884 Centrifuge provides distinct digital timer settings for each of the two standard rotors:
- 8-Place Fixed Angle Rotor (for blood tubes): The timer range is expansive, running from 0 to 99 minutes.
- 24-Place Microhematocrit/Capillary Tube Rotor: The timer range for high-speed analysis is 1 to 15 minutes.
Does the durable exterior resist chemicals and clean easily?
Yes, the Unico PowerSpin BX C884 Centrifuge is specifically designed for hygienic laboratory use and ease of maintenance.
The exterior features a finish that is chemical resistant, making it simple and quick to clean and disinfect regularly. This design helps maintain operational hygiene and ensures the longevity of the equipment.
Are multiple voltage options offered?
Yes, the Unico PowerSpin BX C884 Centrifuge is designed for global compatibility and is available in two standard voltage configurations:
- 110 V
- 220 V
This allows you to select the model that matches your specific laboratory or facility requirements.
Does the oversized LCD display show real-time data?
Yes, the Unico PowerSpin BX C884 Centrifuge features an oversized, built-in LCD display specifically designed for maximum visibility and precise control.
This display provides essential information in real time, including:
- Real-Time Feedback: Clearly shows the current operational speed (RPM) and the remaining digital timer settings.
- Ease of Use: Works in conjunction with simple push-button controls for quick adjustments to speed and time.
- Enhanced Monitoring: The large display ensures all critical data is easily read and monitored throughout the centrifugation process.
