Centrifuges are machines that operate at high speeds and are essential tools for daily experiments. Quality is of utmost importance. Choosing a reliable and reputable brand not only brings convenience during use, but also reduces the losses and troubles caused by future malfunctions. For example, the outer casing of a centrifuge should have double-layer or multi-layer safety protection steel sleeves that are solid enough to prevent potential accidental injuries. However, people are still not aware of this danger, and in order to reduce costs, non steel or other materials that cannot meet safety requirements are still being used for the casing. Therefore, we should pay attention to this when choosing. These invisible details are actually a guarantee of safety, and price and quality are directly proportional. Other safety measures such as automatic rotor recognition (to prevent the centrifugal speed from exceeding the limit), locked lid operation (the centrifuge can only be started after the lid is locked and opened after shutdown), etc. are important facilities for protecting the safety of laboratory staff. Some centrifuges can also monitor the imbalance caused by tube rupture and sample overflow during the entire centrifugation process, or whether the rotor lid is properly covered. Each country has different standard certification programs, and good products can pass various strict certifications. The more certifications, the higher the credibility.Scraper centrifugeThe after-sales service of the manufacturer is also a major factor to consider. The maintenance technology of centrifuges is very technical, and installation and maintenance should be carried out by professional maintenance personnel recognized by the manufacturer. Therefore, safety measures that must be considered when choosing centrifuges should be reliable brands and sales units.
During use, it should be noted that if there is a problem during the centrifugation process, the centrifuge with a lock cover may not be able to open the cover and retrieve valuable samples, making it difficult for maintenance personnel to arrive in a timely manner. So when choosing a centrifuge, there should be manual opening holes for emergency use. When installing, be sure to ask the engineer how to use it. In case of an accident, there is still a chance to save precious samples.
