Description

The Unico PowerSpin HXV Centrifuge is economical, reliable, and super quiet. The new PowerSpin HXV has a variable speed of up to 3500 RPM. The horizontal rotor insures clean, complete separation of cellular components yielding a superior serum or plasma specimen. Using a horizontal rotor for spinning Serum Separator Tubes (SSTs) creates a tight uniform horizontal seal, reducing the risk of red cell leakage and possibility of specimen deterioration. This is especially important when the specimen is sent out for testing.

Warranty: 1 Year - Complete excepting complete misuse and abuse.

The PowerSpin HXV features a zero RPM safety lock, so the lid cannot be opened while the rotor is in motion. A digital timer and LCD display provide the user with the precise control of the spin cycle. The powerful 100 W brushless motor is maintenance free for years of dependable use. A stainless steel guard bowl adds even more protection, and is also easy to clean and maintain.
