Vertex Analytical supplies Clinical Centrifuges designed for routine blood processing, platelet separation, and low-speed laboratory centrifugation. These compact systems combine practical operation with programmable functionality, making them suitable for clinics, pathology laboratories, universities, dental practices, and research facilities across South Africa. The range includes models with adjustable speed settings from 500 rpm up to 5000 rpm, depending on the selected configuration. Furthermore, programmable timing functions allow laboratories and medical facilities to standardize centrifugation protocols for Platelet-Rich Plasma and Platelet-Rich Fibrin applications. Because these units use a Fixed-Angle rotor centrifuge design, they provide stable separation performance while maintaining a compact benchtop footprint.

Adjustable Speed Timer Functions

Users can adjust both rotational speed and centrifugation time according to specific laboratory or PRP processing requirements. Therefore, the systems can support a variety of blood separation applications and laboratory workflows.

Compact Benchtop Design

The compact structure allows easy placement in smaller laboratories, consulting rooms, and research environments. In addition, the low-noise design supports comfortable daily operation in busy clinical settings.

Rotor Configurations for Blood Processing

These Clinical Centrifuges are suitable for routine blood preparation and specialized regenerative medicine applications. Rotor options support:

• Blood collection tubes
• 15ml centrifuge tubes
• Falcon tubes
• Standard laboratory blood tubes

Electronic Lid Lock

The automatic electronic locking system improves operational safety during centrifugation. Additionally, the lid automatically releases once the rotor stops running.

Stable Low-Speed Operation

The units maintain stable speed control and consistent separation performance even during repeated daily use.

Applications

Because of their flexibility, the systems are widely used in dental clinics, aesthetic medicine facilities, pathology laboratories, universities, and medical research environments throughout South Africa. These Clinical Centrifuges are suitable for:

• PRP Centrifuge applications (Platelet-Rich Plasma)
• PRF Processing (Platelet-Rich Fibrin)
• CGF Preparation ( Concentrated Growth Factors_
• A-PRF / APRF protocols (Advanced Platelet-Rich Fibrin)
• I-PRF / IPRF preparation (Injectable Platelet-Rich Fibrin)
• Routine Blood Centrifuge applications
• Clinical laboratory sample preparation

Performance Convenience

The programmable control interface allows users to monitor speed and timing during operation. Depending on the model selected, timer settings range from 30 seconds up to nearly 60 minutes. Furthermore, adjustable speed control helps laboratories optimize centrifugation parameters for different blood products and separation techniques. This flexibility remains important for PRP, PRF, and CGF preparation protocols where centrifugation conditions can affect final sample characteristics. The systems also operate with relatively low noise levels below 60 dB(A), making them suitable for quieter laboratory and consulting room environments.

Safety Reliability

• Lid Opening Protection: If the lid opens unintentionally during operation, the centrifuge immediately stops running. Therefore, the system helps reduce sample loss and improves operational safety.
• Electronic Locking System: The electromagnetic locking system keeps the lid secured during centrifugation and automatically releases the lid after the rotor stops.
• Stable Speed Control: Wide voltage compatibility helps maintain consistent rotational speed even where power fluctuations occur. As a result, laboratories can achieve more consistent centrifugation performance during daily use.
