Tips for buying Centrifuge

1. The specific laboratory centrifuge needs of facilities should determine most centrifuge specifications such as rotational speed, display type, and capacity.
2. These are some preferred features that help ensure safety and ease-of-use: biohazard-containment capabilities, programmability, and lid interlock.
3. The recommended motors are the brushless motors. They do not require as much maintenance because they do not experience the wear and tear that traditional centrifuge motors undergo.
4. Audible alarms are preferred over visual indicators. Alerts should sound at the end of a run or cycle and for imbalance, current leakage, and open lid.
5. Laboratory personnel is strongly encouraged not to operate laboratory centrifuges with lids open because of the hazards posed by a flying rotor or the dispersal of biologically hazardous material.
6. Centrifuge workers may be exposed to the risk of infection and injury from blood products and glass sprayed from beneath the lid onto the chest.
7. Rotor misalignment, old or defective tubes, or incorrect use may cause tube breakage in centrifuges.
8. When purchasing a refrigerated centrifuge, facilities should consider safety features as a main factor. Laboratory centrifuges with safety lid latches, and/or interlocks that shut off the motor when the lid is opened, or keep the lid latched until the rotor has stopped are preferred. The centrifuge unit should have an inner lid that can be securely fastened.
9. For laboratory centrifuges that process many different types of samples, it is recommended that the centrifuge have room temperature and cold-temperature operation capabilities.
10. Some more safety features include an inner protective cover over the rotor assembly, as well as a clear label warning not to open the laboratory centrifuge while the rotor is spinning.
11. The visual indicators on the refrigerated centrifuge should be clear and easily read.
12. Facilities should look into the issue of cost of a warranty and of applicable disposables that are used regularly, such as brushes, when purchasing laboratory centrifuges.
13. To deal with various needs of discrete workstations, facilities may wish to install two or more refrigerated centrifuge units. This may also help with handling a staggered workflow and large and small specimen batches.
