Frequently asked questions
Are dual high-capacity rotors included?
Yes, the Unico PowerSpin BX C886 Centrifuge includes a versatile dual rotor system to handle various small-volume sample preparation needs. The unit achieves a maximum speed of 13,000 RPM and 11,634 g RCF.
The two included high-capacity rotors are:
- 24-Place Microhematocrit/Capillary Tube Rotor: Handles 1.5 x 75mm capillary tubes. This rotor cover features an integrated reader for immediate specimen measurement.
- 24-Place Microcentrifuge Tube Rotor: Accommodates 24 micro-tubes, with a capacity range of 0.5 ml up to 3 ml.
What is the maximum speed and RCF?
The Unico PowerSpin BX C886 is a high-speed centrifuge powered by a powerful, maintenance-free Brushless DC Motor.
It offers exceptional separation capability:
- Maximum Speed: 13,000 RPM
- Maximum RCF (Relative Centrifugal Force): 11,634g
For versatile use, the speed is fully adjustable, providing a variable range from 1,000 RPM up to the maximum 13,000 RPM.
What robust safety features are included?
The Unico PowerSpin BX C886 is equipped with advanced safety systems to ensure secure and reliable high-speed centrifugation (up to 13,000 RPM).
Key safety features include:
- Zero RPM Lid Safety Lock: This mechanism keeps the lid securely locked until the rotor has completely stopped spinning, preventing access and potential injury during operation.
- Auto Unbalance Detection Sensor: The unit automatically monitors the load and will initiate an immediate shutdown if a significant imbalance is detected, protecting the motor and maintaining unit stability.
For enhanced operational control, the system also utilizes Automatic Rotor Recognition to optimize operational parameters based on the installed rotor. Furthermore, the centrifuge’s exterior housing is chemical resistant, making it easy to clean and disinfect for optimal laboratory hygiene.
What is the maximum digital timer setting?
The digital timer allows for precise control, offering settings from 0 up to a maximum duration of 99 minutes.
Does the centrifuge motor require regular maintenance?
The Unico PowerSpin BX C886 Centrifuge is powered by a maintenance-free Brushless DC Motor. This ensures long-lasting and reliable performance without the need for regular maintenance.
Is the exterior easy to clean and disinfect?
Yes, the centrifuge is designed for simple, effective maintenance required in laboratory settings. The housing is made from chemical-resistant material, ensuring it is easy to clean and disinfect following standard laboratory protocols.
Does the microhematocrit rotor have a built-in reader?
Yes, the microhematocrit rotor cover includes a reader for instant reading of specimens, improving efficiency in sample analysis.
Are different voltage options available?
Yes, the Unico PowerSpin BX C886 Centrifuge is available in two standard voltage configurations to suit different laboratory environments:
- Standard Model (C886): 110V/60Hz
- Optional Model (C886E): 220V/50Hz
Both versions utilize a convenient, detachable power cord.
Does the oversized LCD display show real-time data?
Yes, the Unico PowerSpin BX C886 features an oversized LCD display that provides clear, real-time operational data throughout the centrifugation cycle.
This interface enhances monitoring by instantly showing critical parameters:
- Real-time Speed (RPM): You can monitor the precise rotation speed, which is variable between 1,000 and 13,000 RPM.
- Digital Timer: Displays the countdown of the cycle time, which can be set for up to 99 minutes.
This digital display, combined with push-button controls, ensures precise monitoring and adjustment of your test parameters.
Is the centrifuge quiet during operation?
Yes, the Unico PowerSpin BX C886 Centrifuge is equipped with a maintenance-free Brushless DC Motor that ensures powerful yet quiet operation.
