System Overview
Principle and Intended Use
For in-vitro diagnostic use to produce the rapid separation of whole blood contained in original collection
tubes.
The StatSpin ® Express 4 is a high-speed horizontal bench top centrifuge used to rapidly separate blood
components in the original sample collection tubes. Do Not centrifuge substances with a density greater
than 1.2 kg/dm
3 .
The horizontal rotor included with the centrifuge accepts up to 8 primary 16x100mm primary blood tubes
with a maximum volume of 10 mL per tube. The operator selects a fixed spin time of 3, 5 or 10 minutes.
The rotation speed is
5100 rpm for the 3 and 5 minute cycles, producing a centrifugal force of 4000 xg at
a rotor radius of 13.8 cm. The 10 minute cycle generates 3100 xg at 4500 rpm. This setting provides
lower g-forces for procedures which require a traditional spin.
