  • Blood sampling for field work
Features and advantages of Hettich EBA 270

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.

Intended use

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.

What is the difference between a swing-out rotor and a fixed-angle rotor?

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.

How do I calculate the centrifugal force (G-force)?

Most centrifuge users want to know what G-force (also called RCF) is acting on the sample. This can be calculated as follows:

Alternatively, you can also use the RPM and RCF calculator:
