Haematocrit Centrifuge
Product Code : LSK-CL-11278
Haematocrit Centrifuge (SKU LSK-CL-11278) is a centrifuge for haematocrit capillary tubes that spins at a fixed speed of approximately 13000 rpm to pack the red cells for a packed cell volume reading. A 1–99 minute timer, automatic brake and lid interlock control each run. It suits haematology practicals in DMLT, B.Sc. MLT and other medical laboratory technology courses. Science Lab Supplies sources the unit and quotes it from Ambala, India, for institutes, tender contractors and distributors.

Applications and Experiments for the Haematocrit Centrifuge
The centrifuge separates blood in sealed capillary tubes so that the packed red cell column can be measured against the total column to give the haematocrit. Training labs looking for a dedicated laboratory centrifuge in India for packed cell volume work can use it in DMLT and B.Sc. MLT haematology practicals.
- Collecting capillary blood with a Lancet 2.4 mm Disposable under supervision, then filling a haematocrit capillary.
- Sealing one end of each filled tube in Capillary Tube Sealant before the run.
- Measuring the red cell column against the total column length after a timed spin.
- Comparing the manual haematocrit with the HCT value from an automated haematology analyser.
Treat all blood as potentially infectious, place tubes symmetrically, close the lid so that the interlock engages, and discard used capillaries and lancets in a sharps container.
Standard Scope of Supply
The centrifuge is supplied as one unit for haematocrit capillary tubes, with its timer, automatic brake and lid interlock, ready for 220 V or 110 V mains. Capillary tubes, sealant and lancets are separate consumables that can be added to the quotation in the quantities your course needs.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Quotations can be raised for a single haematocrit centrifuge or for one per haematology bench in a teaching lab. Science Lab Supplies includes packing, delivery time and price for that quantity in each quotation, and capillaries, sealant or lancets can be costed on the same document.
Holding an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies is in a position to ship to buyers in South Africa, Qatar, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Malaysia and Peru. Requests can be made on the contact page or through the enquiry cart; the lab tender page covers formal tender procurement.
Frequently Asked Questions
What speed does the haematocrit centrifuge run at?
It runs at a fixed speed of approximately 13000 rpm, so there is no speed setting to adjust. Run time is set on the 1–99 minute timer, and the automatic brake slows the rotor at the end of the run.
Which tubes is it designed for?
It is designed for haematocrit capillary tubes. For test tubes or conical tubes, a general-purpose centrifuge with adjustable speed, such as a powered bench-top model, is the appropriate choice.
What safety features does it have?
It has a lid interlock and an automatic brake, and the 220 V/110 V supply input includes voltage surge protection. The body is cast stainless steel or coated steel; the version offered is confirmed on the quotation.
Who supplies the Haematocrit Centrifuge?
Quotations for this capillary centrifuge are issued by Science Lab Supplies from Ambala, India, to institutes, laboratories, tender contractors and distributors, together with any capillary tubes, sealant or lancets you request.
