Description
The Benchmark Scientific C3100 LC-8 Series Centrifuge is a compact and versatile instrument uniquely designed to meet a wide range of applications in both the clinical and research laboratory. Built for reliability and ease of use, the LC-8 Series combines a generous 8-place rotor with an intuitive digital interface that automatically converts RPM to RCF, making it suitable for a variety of routine and specialized centrifugation tasks. Whether used for separating blood, urine, and plasma in a clinical setting or processing samples in a research environment, the C3100 delivers consistent performance in a space-efficient design. Its robust safety features, user-friendly controls, and flexible tube compatibility make it an ideal choice for laboratories that require dependable centrifugation across multiple applications.
Features:
- The eight-position rotor directly accepts 10ml and 15ml test tubes (conical or round bottom), with optional adapters available for all popular sizes of blood collection and culture tubes.
- Unlike most compact centrifuges in this class, the rotor can be easily removed from the chamber for cleaning.
- The backlit liquid crystal display provides full control over set run time and rotational speed, viewable in either RPM or RCF, with acceleration/deceleration levels adjustable in advanced settings mode.
- A unique airflow design keeps samples cool during operation.
- A safety lid-lock prevents the lid from opening until the rotor has fully stopped.
- An advanced imbalance detection system constantly monitors balance and vibration, automatically bringing the rotor to a stop if an imbalance is detected.
