Powerful Professional XC-3012 Microhematocrit Centrifuge
The XC-3012 Microhematocrit Centrifuge is engineered for precision and speed in clinical environments. This high-performance unit specializes in the rapid separation of blood samples to determine packed cell volume (PCV), providing doctors and laboratory technicians with critical data in minutes.
Rapid Diagnostic Capabilities of the XC-3012
The Premiere XC-3012 Microhematocrit Centrifuge stands out as a leading Microhematocrit Centrifuge by delivering a maximum speed of 12,000 RPM. With a maximum Relative Centrifugal Force (RCF) of 14,800xg. it ensures complete sedimentation of red blood cells, which is vital for accurate hematocrit readings.
Unlike manual models, the XC-3012 features a digital interface that allows for exact timing up to 99 minutes. The 24-place hematocrit rotor is specifically designed to hold 75mm capillary tubes securely, reducing the risk of tube breakage during high-speed operation. This high capacity allows for throughput efficiency in busy medical laboratories.
Advanced Safety and Whisper-Quiet Design
Equipped with a state-of-the-art brushless motor, the XC-3012 Microhematocrit Centrifuge is built for longevity. Brushless technology not only reduces noise (operating at ≤ 55dB) but also eliminates the carbon dust associated with traditional motors, maintaining a cleaner lab environment.
Safety features are integrated throughout the design. The electronic safety-lock lid prevents access to the rotor while it is in motion, and the compact, heavy-duty chassis ensures stability on the benchtop. The unit also includes an auto-balance system that detects uneven loads, protecting the motor and ensuring consistent performance.
Maintenance and Professional Calibration
To maintain the accuracy of your XC-3012 Microhematocrit Centrifuge, we recommend the following professional care:
-
Daily Cleaning: Wipe the hematocrit rotor and chamber with a non-corrosive disinfectant after use.
-
Rotor Balancing: Ensure capillary tubes are placed symmetrically to prevent vibration and wear.
-
Professional Calibration: We suggest a professional calibration service to verify that the RCF and RPM match the digital display.
Following these steps ensures that your XC-3012 Microhematocrit Centrifuge remains a reliable cornerstone of your laboratory’s daily operations.
