Centrifuge Centric 350

Centrifuge CENTRIC 350 is universal laboratory centrifuge, designed for use in medical, industrial and scientific laboratories for separating substances with different relative densities by centrifugal force. The maximum rotational speed of 15.000 RPM gives the centrifugal force of 21.630 x g. 

• Adjustable speed, relative centrifugal force, radar correction
• Various accelerating and inhibiting speeds
• Number /volume of tubes: 4-48, 1.5 to 100 ml
• Speed (RPM): from 200 to 15000 rpm
