When choose a centrifuge, some of you may have following quetions in mind:

How to choose the right lab centrifuge?

What factors should be considered when choose a lab centrifuge?

For your reference, here are the important aspects that need to be considered preferentially: speed, capacity, temperature, and size.

First, speed.

You need to know what the rotation speed requirement is for the samples you are going to separate. 2000r/min? 13000r/min? Or between 3000r/min to 6000r/min?

Second, capacity.

How many tubes or jars you need to separate one time, meanwhile how many milliliters or liters in each tube or jar? Angle-fixed rotor or swing rotor? There are also many adapters with different capacity available.

Third, ventilated or refrigerated.

Normally there is specific requirement about the temperature at which the samples should be separated.

The last but not least, size.

Where you are gonna place the centrifuge. This will affect your choice on the size of the centrifuge. Tabletop or floor type.

In addition to these four important aspects, there are also some other factors that should be considered. For example, the relative centrifugal force(RCF), speed and temperature accuracy(if they matter), noise level, the material quality, the factory strength, certifications, etc.

So, if you are looking for a lab use centrifuge, hope above information helps. Or you can send us message through email or whatsapp if you have any other quesion.
