The rotating rotor with 6 positions makes this centrifuge the ideal choice for blood collection tubes with separating gel.
The swing-out rotor of the EBA 270 enables sediment formation in the direction of the tube axis, whereby the components form horizontal layers of uniform thickness.
This horizontal gel layer has the advantage that it not only reliably separates plasma/serum from solid blood components, but also provides for their maintenance and transport from the doctor's office to the analysis laboratory.
This device is a medical device (laboratory centrifuge) in the sense of the IVD Directive 98/79/EC.
The centrifuge is used to separate substances or mixtures of substances with a density of max. 1.2 kg/dm³, in particular samples for preparation for in-vitro diagnostics in human medicine.
This includes in particular the determination of potassium in blood serum. The running behavior ensures gentle separation and thus prevents the accumulation of additional erythrocytic potassium in the serum. This prevents falsification of the test results.
The centrifuge is intended for this use only.
Swing-out rotors allow the tubes to be rotated horizontally, thus achieving a flat separation of the samples. In contrast, fixed-angle rotors load the tubes into the rotor at a fixed angle (usually between 30° and 40°), which allows for an oblique separation. The advantage of fixed-angle rotors is that they can reach higher speeds, which is due to the aerodynamic shape of the rotor.
However, swing-out rotors are preferred for most biological applications because they provide a shallower separation, while fixed-angle rotors are more commonly used when a higher velocity is required to separate the substance.
Most centrifuge users want to know what G-force (also called RCF) is acting on the sample. This can be calculated as follows:
