The Master Science Steel Microhematocrit Centrifuge is used to determine blood hematocrit and to separate trace blood and trace solutions. Its hematocrit rotor takes 24 capillaries and reaches 12000 rpm and 15800 xg, with speed held to ±10 rpm.
The all-steel body, 304 stainless steel chamber and three-stage vibration damping keep runs stable, while the small footprint and low opening height suit benches with overhead shelves.

Common Laboratory Problems and How the Steel Microhematocrit Centrifuge Helps
How it helps in routine hematocrit testing:
- Results vary between runs: Stored programs and ±10 rpm speed accuracy keep conditions the same.
- Vibration on light benches: Three-stage damping and automatic balancing steady the unit.
- Limited bench height under shelves: Low opening height makes loading easy.
- Lid opened during spinning: The electronic door lock and self-check protection prevent it.
