IEC Centra GP8 Benchtop Centrifuge
Designed for ease of use, the Centra-GP8 has an ergonomic touch pad control panel and bright, easily read LED displays. The unit can be operated in manual mode, hold, or one of 35 programmable operations. Programs can also be modified at run time, offering unlimited run variations. In addition, rotor number entry permits automatic calculation of RCF. Other features include a coast mode and separate acceleration and deceleration controls for maintaining delicate samples such as those with density gradients.
The internal microprocessor that allows this simplified operation also ensures repeatable results, preventing inadvertent loss of sample, and even alerts operators when periodic maintenance is due.
The Centra-GP8 series rugged steel cabinet and rigid construction provide quiet operation and long-term reliability coupled with impressive safety features. A fail-safe cover interlock prevents the rotor from running unless the cover is closed. It also prevents the cover from being opened until the rotor has slowed to less than 90 RPM, even if the power fails. If a load-imbalance occurs, a sensor shuts the unit down and triggers a warning message.
This centrifuge is used and reconditioned. Our technicians test the performance of all centrifuges and make sure the rotating assembly is properly balanced; the bearings, seals and gaskets on the spindle assembly are in good shape; and the controls work properly. If the centrifuge is refrigerated, we also test to make sure that the machine reaches and hold temperature properly. All tolerances are measured and the exterior and interior of all units are fully cleaned. If the unit is being purchased with a rotor, we test the rotor/centrifuge combination together.
The photos above are representative. Please bear in mind that the equipment shown is currently in storage in our warehouse and that in addition to testing each machine we will clean all the equipment thoroughly prior to shipment. We often have multiple units of each model in stock and sometimes we're unable to feature photos of every single unit. At your request, we can provide photos of the equipment in your order after it has been tested and cleaned.
