The LW Scientific Straight 8-5K Horizontal Centrifuge has horizontal separation which offers many advantages over traditional fixed-angle separations, including tighter straight-line gel separations to reduce re-spins and re-mixes.

The Straight 8-5K spins test tubes, up to 17 x 100mm, at speeds up to 5,000 rpm, with microprocessor speed control. Simply program the digital time and speed and the unit will lock the lid and spin the load. G-forces up to 4,000 gs will produce platelet-free or platlet-poor-plasma in minutes.

The zero-rpm interlocking metal lid will stay locked until the rotor has come to a full stop, to ensure safety. The all-metal rotor and tube shields are built for strength and durability, and the wide-mouth metal bowl allows for easy cleanup.
