Labnet Spectrafuge C0060 6C Compact Research Centrifuge with 6 x 10/15ml Rotor, 120V
The Labnet Spectrafuge 6C centrifuge runs at speeds up to 6,500 rpm. The removable rotor holds six 15mL blood draw tubes for producing platelet poor plasma (PPP) and platelet rich plasma (PRP) separations. Standard 5mL and 7mL tubes are accepted using adapters (sold separately). The unit has digital control of speed in 100 rpm increments, and operation can be timed from 30 seconds to 30 minutes. This low-speed centrifuge is suitable for applications in biotechnology and life science research.
The centrifuge is non-refrigerated and does not have temperature control features.

A centrifuge is used to spin fluids of different densities to separate various parts, commonly blood and DNA samples. Centrifuges are composed of the main body or housing and a spinning rotor. Tubes of cellular material suspended in liquid are inserted into the rotor and spun at various speeds to separate components. Centrifuges are used in medical, industrial, and research laboratories, as well as academic and clinical settings.
