Benchmark's
LC-8 series of laboratory centrifuges is uniquely designed to meet a
wide range of applications in both the clinical and research laboratory. An
eight position rotor is included and designed to directly accept 10ml and 15ml
test-tubes
(conical or round bottom), while optional adapters are also available for use
with 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 back-lit, liquid crystal display provides full control
over the set run time and rotational speed. The rotational speed can be
set/viewed in rpm or rcf and acceleration/deceleration levels can be easily
adjusted in the advanced settings mode.
To ensure safety, the digital microprocessor ensures that
the lid has been closed and that the safety lid lock is engaged prior to
starting a centrifugation cycle. In addition, an advanced imbalance detection
system constantly monitors the balance and vibration, automatically bringing
the rotor to a stop if an imbalance is detected.
Digital Speed control up to 5,000 rpm
Safety lid-lock, prevents opening lid until rotor stops
