Product Overview
3Professional Product Overview
The ALC-SCIENTIFIC Digital Benchtop Centrifuge is designed for controlled separation of liquid samples according to density through centrifugal force. It can be configured for routine clinical, research, pharmaceutical, biotechnology and molecular-biology applications using compatible fixed-angle, swing-bucket, microtube, blood-tube, conical-tube or microplate rotors. Depending on the selected configuration, the centrifuge may be supplied as a ventilated or refrigerated model with programmable speed, RCF, time, acceleration, braking and temperature settings. Available safety and operating features may include automatic rotor recognition, imbalance detection, lid locking, short-spin operation, stored programs, stainless-steel chamber construction and sealed rotor or bucket options. Final speed, capacity, RCF, temperature range, rotor compatibility and compliance must be confirmed for the selected ALC-SCIENTIFIC model.

Separation Technology
8Working Principle
A benchtop centrifuge separates materials by rotating samples at controlled speed around a central axis. The spinning rotor creates centrifugal force, causing denser particles to move outward faster than lighter components. Particles collect as a pellet at the bottom or outer side of the tube, while lighter liquid remains as the supernatant. The actual force applied to the sample depends on both RPM and the distance between the sample and rotor centre.
Fixed-Angle Rotor
Tubes remain at a constant angle. Suitable for high-speed separation, cell pelleting, DNA/RNA preparation, protein precipitation and microtube processing.
Swing-Bucket Rotor
Buckets move outward to a horizontal position. Suitable for blood tubes, conical tubes, density-gradient work, microplates and larger-volume samples.
