APPLICATIONS
Applications
- Key uses of high-speed centrifuges include separating various particle populations from heterogeneous mixtures, extracting specific cellular components, and purifying sub-cellular structures.
- Other applications include harvesting of cells and bacteria, and clarification of samples.
- High-speed refrigerated centrifuges are used to separate and isolate temperature-sensitive biological samples by maintaining a controlled, low-temperature environment for separating macromolecules such as proteins, enzymes, and nucleic acids.
FAQs
What is the difference between high-speed centrifuges and ultracentrifuges?
A high-speed centrifuge typically operates at speeds ranging from several thousand to tens of thousands rotations per minute (RPM), with RCF values up to tens of thousands times the force of gravity (x g). They are commonly used for routine laboratory applications, such as separating cellular components, purifying proteins, or isolating nucleic acids.
An ultracentrifuge, on the other hand, is specifically designed to achieve much higher speeds and generate significantly higher RCF values. Ultracentrifuges can operate at speeds exceeding 100,000 RPM, with RCF values reaching up to millions times the force of gravity.
What factors contribute to the price of a high-speed centrifuge?
Prices can vary based on factors such as maximum speed and RCF, capacity and rotor options, and advanced software features. Centrifuges with higher speeds and advanced features generally require a larger investment, and larger capacity and specialized rotor options can also contribute to final costs. The brand's reputation, availability of customer support, and market dynamics can further influence pricing.
How do I choose high-speed centrifugation speed?
Choosing the appropriate centrifugation speed involves considering factors such as protocol or literature recommendations, sample properties, desired separation or pelleting, established guidelines, pilot experiments, and seeking expert advice.
What makes Avanti centrifuges stand out in terms of quality?
Avanti centrifuges stand out due to their energy efficiency, reliable performance, safety features and compact design. They offer a 9 L max capacity, 30,000 RPM, and an RCF >100.000 x g.
