Heathrow Scientific General Purpose Centrifuge – 500–6,000 RPM

Overview

The Heathrow Scientific General Purpose Centrifuge is a compact, high-performance benchtop centrifuge designed for medium- to higher-volume sample processing in laboratory, research, industrial, and testing environments. With an adjustable speed range of 500–6,000 RPM and a maximum relative centrifugal force of 4,668 × g when using a typical 15 mL tube, it supports a broad range of sample separation and preparation applications.

A digitally controlled brushless motor provides accurate speed control without routine motor maintenance. The centrifuge features an adjustable run time from 30 seconds to 60 minutes or continuous operation, programmable memory for up to eight settings, and a removable 8-place rotor. Built-in safety functions detect conditions such as an open lid, imbalance, or a jam, while a manual lid release provides access in the event of a power failure.

Key Features

Adjustable Speed Control: Select operating speeds from 500 to 6,000 RPM, with settings available in RPM or RCF.

Flexible Run Time: Set centrifugation cycles from 30 seconds to 60 minutes or choose continuous operation.

Programmable Memory: Store up to eight custom programs for convenient access to frequently used settings.

Brushless Motor: Digitally controlled motor provides accurate speed regulation without routine motor maintenance.

Versatile Tube Compatibility: Supplied adapters and spacers accommodate a range of tube sizes, including 5 mL microcentrifuge tubes and 15 mL conical centrifuge tubes.

Convenient Rotor Removal: A central locking knob allows the rotor to be removed without tools for loading and cleaning.

Integrated Safety Features: Error detection helps identify an open lid, a jammed unit, or an unbalanced rotor.

Emergency Lid Release: Manual lid unlocking allows access to samples following a power failure.

Compact Benchtop Design: Provides centrifugation capacity for medium- to higher-volume laboratory workflows while maintaining a compact footprint.
