Gel Card Centrifuge 4000 rpm, 12 or 24 Cards Blood Grouping Centrifuge with Brushless Motor

The Master Science Gel Card Centrifuge is built for blood group serology, blood typing, micro-column agglutination and immunodetection tests. It runs gel cards on a swing rotor and is offered in two sizes: the 4Y version spins 12 cards at up to 4000 rpm (1480 xg), and the 4AY version spins 24 cards at up to 3000 rpm (1192 xg).

A brushless motor, microcomputer control and a digital display of time, speed and RCF keep daily operation simple, while gradient centrifugation programs can be set up to suit different reagent requirements.

Key Benefits

• Made for gel cards: A swing rotor holds 12 or 24 cards for micro-column agglutination testing.
• Adjustable gradients: Gradient programs can be designed to match each reagent's protocol.
• Clean, low-upkeep drive: The brushless motor is maintenance-free and produces no carbon dust.
• Quick restart: The last program used is recalled at start-up.

For whole blood separation in tubes, pair the Gel Card Centrifuge with our Low-Speed Refrigerated Centrifuge, 4 x 750 mL.

Common Laboratory Problems and How the Gel Card Centrifuge Helps

Daily issues in blood typing labs that this unit addresses:

• Different reagents need different profiles: Custom gradient programs follow each reagent's requirements.
• Repeating set-up every morning: The last program is loaded automatically on start-up.
• Card volume varies: Choose 12-card or 24-card capacity to match the workload.
• Unsafe opening or unbalanced loads: Electronic door lock, imbalance protection and self-diagnosis add safety.
