Frequently asked questions
What capacity do the included rotors offer?
The Unico PowerSpin BX C887 Centrifuge is highly versatile because it includes two interchangeable rotors designed to accommodate a wide range of clinical and micro-samples.
Here are the specific capacities and maximum tube sizes supported:
- 6-Place Fixed Angle Rotor (for standard clinical tubes):
- Capacity: 6 tubes (10 ml or 12 ml nominal capacity).
- Maximum Tube Size: 17 x 105 mm.
- 24-Place Microcentrifuge Tube Rotor (for low-volume samples):
- Capacity: 24 micro-tubes.
- Volume Range: 0.5 ml up to 3 ml.
- Maximum Tube Size: 5 x 10 mm.
What is the maximum achievable RCF (g)?
The Unico PowerSpin BX C887 Centrifuge delivers high-performance separation, capable of achieving a significant Relative Centrifugal Force (RCF).
Key performance specifications are:
- Maximum RCF: 11,093g
- Maximum Speed: 13,000 RPM
This high RCF is suitable for demanding laboratory applications, including the rapid processing and separation of blood/urine samples and microcentrifuge tubes.
Does the centrifuge have advanced safety features?
Yes, the Unico PowerSpin BX C887 is designed with advanced safety features to ensure secure and reliable operation, even at its maximum speed of 13,000 RPM.
Key protective features include:
- Zero RPM Lid Lock: This essential safety mechanism ensures the lid remains securely locked and cannot be opened until the rotor has come to a complete stop.
- Auto Unbalance Detection/Shutdown: The system automatically senses any operational instability or imbalance and initiates an immediate, protective shutdown.
- Automatic Rotor Recognition: The centrifuge automatically identifies the installed rotor to confirm appropriate speed parameters, ensuring safer processing.
Additionally, the unit features a chemical-resistant exterior material, making it easy to clean and disinfect for maintaining strict laboratory hygiene.
What is the precise speed range?
The Unico PowerSpin BX C887 Centrifuge provides precise control over high-speed sample separation, driven by a powerful, quiet, maintenance-free Brushless DC Motor.
The speed range specifications are:
- Variable Speed Range: Adjustable from 1,000 RPM up to a maximum of 13,000 RPM.
- Maximum RCF: The unit achieves a maximum Relative Centrifugal Force (RCF) of 11,093g.
Does the exterior ensure easy cleaning and disinfection?
Yes, the Unico PowerSpin BX C887 Centrifuge features a chemical-resistant exterior that is specifically designed for easy cleaning and disinfection, making it highly suitable for demanding laboratory environments.
Does it use a maintenance-free brushless motor?
Yes, the Unico PowerSpin BX C887 is powered by a high-performance, maintenance-free Brushless DC Motor.
This advanced motor design offers superior benefits for continuous laboratory use:
- Zero Maintenance: The brushless design ensures exceptional longevity and eliminates the need for routine upkeep.
- High Speed Performance: It allows the centrifuge to reach a maximum speed of 13,000 RPM, resulting in a maximum Relative Centrifugal Force (RCF) of 11,093 g.
- Quiet Operation: The motor is specifically engineered to run quietly, making it ideal for benchtop placement in standard lab settings.
What are the compact unit dimensions?
The Unico PowerSpin BX C887 Centrifuge is designed to be compact, making it suitable for various laboratory settings. The physical dimensions and weight of the unit are:
- Unit Dimensions (L x W x H): 10.5 in x 12.5 in x 9 in (270mm x 320mm x 220mm)
- Unit Weight: 16.5 lbs
For maintenance, the exterior is also built to be chemical resistant and easy to clean and disinfect.
Does it feature a digital timer?
Yes, the PowerSpin BX C887 Centrifuge includes a digital timer. This allows for precise setting of spin cycles, adjustable from 0 up to 99 minutes.
Are different voltage configurations available?
Yes, the Unico PowerSpin BX C887 Centrifuge offers versatile voltage configurations to meet different laboratory power standards. You can choose between two options:
- Standard Configuration: 110V/60Hz (MPN: C887)
- Optional Configuration: 220V/50Hz
Does this centrifuge include versatile rotor options?
Yes, the Unico PowerSpin BX C887 includes two dedicated, interchangeable rotors standard with the unit, providing excellent versatility for various laboratory samples:
- Fixed Angle Rotor (6 Place): Designed for larger clinical samples (blood, urine).
- Capacity: 6 tubes (10 ml or 12 ml).
- Maximum Tube Size: 17 x 105 mm.
- Microcentrifuge Tube Rotor (24 Place): Ideal for high-throughput separation of micro-volumes.
- Capacity: 24 micro-tubes (0.5 ml up to 3 ml).
- Maximum Tube Size: 5 x 10 mm.
This dual rotor system allows you to efficiently switch between standard clinical work and high-speed micro-volume processing.
