This guide should help you choose the right HTI centrifuge for your specific needs.

Speed (RPM) vs. g-Force (RCF):The most important factor when choosing a centrifuge is the g-Force, or RCF, not the speed. The RCF determines the ability ofa centrifuge to separate the specimen. Most specimens must bespun within a specific RCF range in order to properly prep thesample for testing and analysis. The guide below will help youselect a model based on RCF, RPM, # of tubes, specimens andother attributes.CLIA, Calibration and speed checking:Your lab or practice may be subject to CLIA regulations if whatyou do is considered to be "moderately complex", or "highlycomplex". CLIA, (Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendment of 1988); may dictate that your centrifuges need to be"Calibrated" every 6 months. CLIA inspectors may visit yourfacility to make sure you are maintaining your equipment andfollowing protocols; and that your equipment is capable ofperforming the protocols properly, etc. Calibration involves using a tachometer to check the speed of your centrifuge for accuracy. CLIA inspectors will "pass" a centrifuge that operates within plus or minus 100 RPM of the actual setting. If for example, your centrifuge is set to spin at 3,400 RPM; CLIA will pass it if it is anywhere between 3,300 and 3,500 RPM; as long as your protocol calls for spinning in that range as well. To check your centrifuge you can purchase a tachometer, item # C800-75.

Urine Sample Centrifugation:A note of caution if you spin Urine specimens: If you have a fixedspeed centrifuge, chances are very good it is set the RCF andspeed for spinning blood samples only. Urine specimens must bespun at a greatly reduced RCF in order to properly prep thesample. If your facility is subject to CLIA and you spin urinesamples in a blood centrifuge, the CLIA inspector may not allowthe centrifuge to pass inspection. You will be asked to either stopspinning urine samples, or acquire a centrifuge capable ofspinning at the correct RCF for separating urine samples.

How to calculate RCF:RCF = Relative Centrifugal Force (also known as “G-Force”)

Centrifuge RCF Calculation: RCF = 1.12 x R(mm) xKrpm x Krpm

where R: Centrifuge rotor radius (mm)and Krpm: Centrifuge speed in thousands

Example: If rotor radius is 102mm, speed is 3.4Krpm(3400rpm), then RCF = 1.12 x 102 x 3.4 x 3.4 = 1320g

PowerSpin™ Centrifuges, BX

The BX is a versatile, state of the art variable-speed centrifugeseries with three rotor options. Options are: • Blood/Urine Tube, 2-12 ml Rotor: Max Speed = 5,000 RPM

• Microhematocrit/Capillary Tube Rotor: Max Speed = 11,000 RPM

• Microcentrifuge Tube, 0.5-3 ml Rotor: Max Speed = 13,000 RPM

Your BX can be a dedicated centrifuge with any one of the rotors,or a versatile addition to your lab with up to threeinterchangeable rotors with speeds from 1,000 – 13,000 RPM.BX Centrifuges have advanced safety features such as a ZeroRPM lid latch control system (which makes sure the lid can not beopened if the rotor is spinning), a stainless steel rotor chamber,Auto-unbalance detection and shut-down (will shut-down the motorif an off-balance condition is detected). With threeinterchangeable rotors, the centrifuge features ARD (AutomaticRotor Detection), the unit can automatically tell which of the threerotors are loaded. This is an important safety feature as each ofthe three rotors has a different maximum speed.The Microhematocrit rotor features a Tube Reader built-into therotor lid. This makers reading crit values quick and easy afteryour run, without having to remove the tubes and place them in areader, or on a reader-card, etc. The standard Blood & Urinetube rotor fits 7.5 – 12 ml tubes and will not accept 15 ml tubes.With adapters shown below, you can spin 0.5 – 3 ml tubes(C800-04), or 3.5 – 6.5 ml tubes (C800-03).

BX Versatility: New Microhematocrit Tube Adapters: We have developed several microhematocrit tubeadapters that can be used with the Blood & Urine Tube Rotor, making a single rotor much moreversatile and eliminating the need to purchase an additional rotor, or change rotors. Both New C800-34 and C8600-34 Adapters come in a Pkg/2 adapters, each and each adapter holds up to 4 MHtubes. The Blood & Urine rotor runs at a max of 5,000 RPM, much slower than traditionalmicrohematocrit rotors with a 5 min. run. With our adapters, at 5,000 RPM, you can achieve acomplete microhematocrit separation in an 8 min. run. The BX’s large digital display continuously shows three parameters in real-time: Speed (RPM), g-Force(RCF) and Time – how much time is left in the run. A unique feature allows the user to select which ofthese three parameters to display in an extra large font, for quick and easy viewing. BX’s feature maintenance-free brushless motors and a lid window for tachometer calibration checks.An intuitive button panel is quick and easy to use.
