Frequently asked questions
What tube types fit the included rotor system?
The Unico PowerSpin BX C885 Centrifuge offers outstanding versatility as it comes standard with three distinct, interchangeable rotors to handle a wide variety of laboratory samples:
-
6-Place Fixed Angle Metal Rotor: This rotor is compatible with standard blood or urine tubes, handling capacities from 2 ml up to 12 ml. The maximum supported tube size is 17 x 105 mm.
-
24-Place Microhematocrit/Capillary Tube Rotor: This rotor is designed for 24 capillary tubes (max size 1.5 x 75 mm). For convenience, the rotor cover includes an integrated reader for immediate analysis.
-
24-Place Microcentrifuge Tube Rotor: This rotor accommodates up to 24 microcentrifuge tubes, supporting volumes ranging from 0.5 ml up to 3.0 ml.
What high-quality safety features are included?
The Unico PowerSpin BX C885 Centrifuge is designed with advanced safety protocols to ensure reliable and secure operation in the laboratory. Key safety features include:
- Zero RPM Lid Safety Lock: This mechanism prevents the lid from being opened until the rotor has completely stopped, protecting the user from moving parts.
- Auto Unbalance Detection: If the centrifuge detects an improper load or sample imbalance during operation, it automatically shuts down to prevent equipment damage and ensure user safety.
- Automatic Rotor Recognition: The system identifies the installed rotor type, which helps ensure that maximum safe operating speeds and parameters are correctly applied.
What is the maximum RCF?
The maximum Relative Centrifugal Force (RCF) for the Unico PowerSpin BX C885 Centrifuge is 11,634 g.
This high level of separation is achieved at the centrifuge’s maximum operating speed of 13,000 RPM, ensuring efficient processing for various laboratory samples.
Does the PowerSpin BX C885 have a maintenance-free motor?
Yes, the Unico PowerSpin BX C885 Centrifuge is equipped with a powerful, maintenance-free brushless DC motor.
This high-quality motor is designed to:
- Ensure quiet operation.
- Provide reliable, long-term performance.
- Significantly reduce the unit’s service requirements.
Are multiple voltage options available?
Yes, the Unico PowerSpin BX C885 Centrifuge is available in both 110 V and 220 V options to accommodate different power requirements.
Does the centrifuge include versatile rotors?
Yes, the Unico PowerSpin BX C885 Centrifuge is designed for maximum application flexibility and comes standard with three versatile, interchangeable rotors:
- 6-Place Fixed Angle Rotor: Accommodates standard blood or urine tubes (2 ml up to 12 ml), with a maximum tube size of 17 x 105 mm.
- 24-Place Microhematocrit/Capillary Tube Rotor: Processes 24 capillary tubes (1.5 x 75 mm). A significant benefit is the integrated reader cover for immediate capillary tube analysis.
- 24-Place Microcentrifuge Tube Rotor: Ideal for small volume processing, holding up to 24 micro-tubes (0.5 ml to 3.0 ml).
Does this centrifuge feature an easy-to-clean exterior?
Yes, the Unico PowerSpin BX C885 Centrifuge is engineered for simplified maintenance and high laboratory hygiene standards.
The exterior casing is chemical resistant, which makes it exceptionally easy to clean and disinfect, supporting rigorous clinical and laboratory protocols.
