The Benchmark Scientific LC-8 centrifuge is designed to meet the needs of clinical and research laboratories. An eight position rotor is included and designed to directly accept 10 ml and 15 ml 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.
A back-lit, LCD display provides full control over the set run time and rotational speed. The rotational speed can be set/viewed in RPM and RCF. 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.
