Universal centrifuges, non-refrigerated at a glance

Areas of application in laboratory and research

Non-refrigerated universal centrifuges are used in numerous laboratory environments where samples can be centrifuged at room temperature. Typical fields of application include the separation of liquids of different densities, the sedimentation of particles, and preparatory steps for further analyses. These devices are commonly found in routine diagnostics, chemical analytics, and quality assurance.

Operating principle

The basic principle of a universal centrifuge is based on generating centrifugal force through rotation, which allows the components of a sample to be separated according to their density. Unlike refrigerated variants, non-refrigerated models do without active temperature control of the sample chamber, making them suitable for temperature-insensitive samples.

Selection criteria for laboratory use

When selecting a suitable universal centrifuge, factors such as the intended rotor types, the sample volume, and the planned applications play a role. Aspects such as ease of use and compatibility with existing laboratory workflows should also be considered in order to find a suitable device for the respective task.

What is a universal centrifuge?

A universal centrifuge is a laboratory device that generates centrifugal force through rotation in order to separate the components of a sample according to their density. It is used for various applications in laboratories and diagnostics.

What does 'non-refrigerated' mean for a centrifuge?

Non-refrigerated centrifuges have no active temperature control in the sample chamber. They are suitable for samples that do not require a constant low temperature during centrifugation.

What are non-refrigerated universal centrifuges used for?

They are used in areas such as routine diagnostics, chemical analytics, and quality assurance when samples can be centrifuged at room temperature.

What distinguishes universal centrifuges from specialized centrifuges?

Universal centrifuges are designed for a broad range of applications and sample types, while specialized centrifuges are designed for specific use cases.

What role does the rotor play in a universal centrifuge?

The rotor holds the samples and sets them in rotation, generating the centrifugal force responsible for separating the sample components.

In which laboratory areas are universal centrifuges used?

Universal centrifuges are used, among other things, in research, medical diagnostics, and chemical analytics, wherever separation of sample components is required.

Why is cooling not necessary for some centrifugation applications?

Not all samples are sensitive to heat generation during centrifugation. For such temperature-stable samples, non-refrigerated universal centrifuges are a suitable choice.
