Medical Device Depot Offers Tabletop Centrifuge Purchase TipsTips and suggestions on purchasing the right tabletop centrifuge for your medical practice.
1. As with most medical equipment, safety is a critical factor. Check the specifications before purchasing to ensure that the centrifuge meets regulated safety standards. 2. Consider purchasing a centrifuge with a securely interlocking lid that either shuts off the unit's motor when the lid is opened or keeps the lid latched until the rotor has stopped. In addition, an inner protective cover over the rotor assembly is recommended, as well as a displayed alert not to open the centrifuge while the rotor is spinning. 3. The visual indicators located on the centrifuge should be clear and easily readable. 4. It is recommended to have audible alarms for important conditions such as device malfunction, rotor imbalance, open lid, and end-of-run or cycle. 5. Centrifuges with brushless motors are preferred as they require less maintenance than the traditional motors. 6. Facilities should try and correlate cell washing centrifuge features with their current and anticipated laboratory needs to avoid overspending. At the same time it is important to purchase a model that is capable of handling the workload needed for specific laboratory needs.
