What is a cytocentrifuge?

This equipment is a special non-refrigerated desktop centrifuge for diagnostic laboratories in oncology, cytology, hematology, virology and microbiology services, it is designed to concentrate biological samples on a surface visible under a microscope, and its subsequent identification and characterization; the same design ensures simple operation and a safe working environment.

It has in general physical characteristics that offer a number of advantages in terms of having an oscillating rotor for 4 supports, with two positions that, to the recovery of the filtrate for a second processing, is also a equipment to which rotors for tubes, microtubes or plates can be adapted, contains sealed supports that prevent the exit of the sample, easy to use.

What you should know about cytocentrifuge

In order to know this equipment it is important to know different aspects that this machine offers us, ranging from applications to functionality and physical characteristics, in this way the operator or user will make a more efficient use of it:

  • One of the applications of cytocentrifuge is the identification of microorganisms.
  • One of its most important functions is the detection of cells even in low-concentrated fluids.
  • It is used in in vitro diagnosis (IVD).
  • Thanks to its centrifugal action it is able to separate body fluids into simple components.
  • At a disadvantage, the cytocentrifuge has no biological safety.
  • It is recommended to clean and disinfect products used in the health sector.
  • It has a rotor mounted by an adapter on the motor shaft.
  • It has a lid with locking option in the cytocentrifuge chamber.
  • For protection it cannot be put into operation if the lid is open.
  • The cover cannot be opened during the spinning process.
  • It has the advantage that the centrifuge is silent and without vibrations.
  • Cytocentrifuges have an electronic processor system to function effectively.
  • Some have three constant spinning speeds.
  • They have a soft braking system and automatic rotor identification.
  • They offer class I protection.

Recommendations for use of a cytocentrifuge

  • The cytocentrifuge should be positioned horizontally on a firm and stable surface.
  • There should be a gap of at least 30 centimeters around the cytocentrifuge and good ventilation
  • Fix the rotor firmly on the motor shaft to avoid imbalance.
  • Load opposite containers with identical accessories/contents.
  • The tubes must be placed symmetrically, in addition they must be loaded with the same amount, and must occupy all positions of the rotor
  • Load samples into tubes (or other containers) outside the centrifuge.
  • Glass test tubes must be spin-proof, with a resistance allowing spin-off with an acceleration up to 5000 x g.
  • Perform constant maintenance to avoid corrosion of equipment.
  • To centrifuge infectious materials it must be done in closed containers.
  • Do not centrifuge explosive or flammable materials.
  • Do not centrifuge any substance that could react as a result of a high energy supply during centrifugation.
