Frequently asked questions

Is this centrifuge designed for clinical samples?

Yes, the Unico PowerSpin DX C8704 Centrifuge is specifically engineered for routine clinical and laboratory use, ensuring clean and complete separation of various specimens. It is ideal for processing standard biological samples, including blood, urine, and semen.

Features that enhance its clinical utility include:

  • Pre-programmed Protocols: It offers three built-in settings for quick, repeatable runs: Blood, Fecal, and Urine.
  • Precision Control: Variable speed (1000 to 3400 RPM in 100 RPM increments) combined with adjustable acceleration/deceleration allows optimization for diverse sample types.
  • Versatile Capacity: The standard 4-place horizontal rotor accommodates 4 x 50 ml tubes. Optional adaptor kits allow it to process a wide range of smaller tubes, from 0.5 ml up to 15 ml.
  • Quiet Operation: It runs quietly at only 50 decibels, minimizing disruption in the lab environment.
Does the centrifuge feature effective vibration control?

Yes, the Unico PowerSpin DX C8704 is engineered for maximum stability and smooth operation. It features suction cup rubber feet specifically designed to dampen vibration, helping to ensure highly stable benchtop performance and accurate separation during the centrifugation process.

Are there important safety features for stable spinning?

The Unico PowerSpin DX C8704 Centrifuge incorporates several key features designed for stable, reliable, and safe operation:

  1. Zero RPM Safety Latching System: This crucial safety mechanism prevents the lid from being opened until the rotor has decelerated completely to 0 RPM, eliminating the risk of operator injury.
  2. Vibration Stability: For maximum stability, the unit utilizes suction cup rubber feet that firmly anchor the centrifuge to the bench surface, effectively minimizing operational vibration during runs.
  3. Controlled Separation: The digital interface allows for adjustable acceleration and deceleration profiles, which ensures smoother runs and promotes cleaner, more complete specimen separation.
  4. Durable Chamber: The rotor chamber is constructed from stainless steel, providing excellent durability and ensuring easy cleaning and maintenance.
Does this centrifuge offer precise speed control?

Yes, the Unico PowerSpin DX C8704 provides precise, variable digital speed control essential for complete and clean sample separation.

Key control features and specifications include:

  • Variable Speed Range: The speed is adjustable from 1,000 up to 3,400 RPM.
  • Precision: Speed adjustments are made in fine 100 RPM increments.
  • Maximum RCF: The centrifuge achieves a maximum Relative Centrifugal Force (RCF) of 2,508 g.
  • Customization: Users can adjust both the acceleration and deceleration rates to create tailored separation protocols.
  • Efficiency: The digital controls remember the last run setting, enabling quick and accurate repeat runs.
Does it have pre-programmed settings for samples?

Yes, the PowerSpin DX C8704 Centrifuge includes three pre-programmed quick-run options to streamline processing of common laboratory specimens. You can select dedicated settings for:

  • Blood
  • Urine
  • Fecal

Additionally, the unit features a memory function that stores the last manual setting used for efficient repeat runs.

What tube sizes fit in the versatile rotor?

The PowerSpin DX C8704 is designed for high versatility, featuring a 4-place horizontal rotor.

Standard Capacity (No adaptors required):

  • 4 x 50 ml tubes

For processing smaller samples, optional adaptors are available to accommodate:

  • 6 ml to 15 ml tubes
  • 3 ml to 5 ml tubes
  • 0.5 ml to 2 ml tubes
Does the centrifuge run quietly?

Yes, the Unico PowerSpin DX C8704 Centrifuge is engineered for quiet, dependable operation.
