Haematocrit Centrifuge (Product Code: SLE/CL/71) is a high-speed centrifuge designed for haematocrit capillary tubes, used to find the packed cell volume of a blood sample – the share of the sample occupied by red cells once they have been spun down. It runs at a fixed speed of approximately 13000rpm with a 1-99 minute timer, and an automatic brake and lid interlock make each run safer for the operator. Haematology benches, anaemia screening clinics, blood donation camps and medical laboratory technology courses rely on this simple test every day. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala.

A capillary tube is filled from a finger prick or from a well-mixed anticoagulated sample, one end is closed with sealant, and the tube is placed in the rotor with the sealed end facing outward. Tubes are loaded opposite one another to keep the rotor balanced, the timer is set to the time your procedure calls for, and the lid is closed. Because the speed is fixed, every run is spun at the same approximate 13000rpm, which helps keep results consistent between operators. Once the brake has stopped the rotor, the lengths of the packed red-cell column and the total column are read against a haematocrit reading scale.
Always record the tube position and patient identity before spinning, and discard any capillary that has leaked or cracked. Hospitals and training institutes looking for a laboratory equipment supplier in India often order this unit together with capillary tubes and sealant so the complete packed-cell-volume test is ready from the first day.
This haematocrit centrifuge comes from Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited in Ambala, Haryana, the company behind the ScienceLab brand of laboratory apparatus. ScienceLab is the trading name of this registered MSME enterprise, whose major activity is manufacturing (Udyam UDYAM-HR-01-0003714), and its export shipments are handled under Importer-Exporter Code AAECJ8618A issued by the DGFT.

Which tubes does this centrifuge accept?
It is built for haematocrit capillary tubes. For ordinary sample tubes, a general bench-top centrifuge is the right choice.
Can the speed be adjusted?
No. The speed is fixed at approximately 13000rpm; you control the run with the 1-99 minute timer.
How many capillaries can be spun at once?
The rotor capacity is not stated in our listing. Please contact us to confirm the number of positions.
Is the casing stainless steel?
The listing gives stainless steel or coated steel casting. Ask us which finish applies to your order if this matters for your laboratory.
What protects the operator during a run?
An automatic brake and a lid interlock, together with voltage surge protection on the 220V/110V, 50/60Hz supply.
Can a calibration certificate or warranty be provided?
Neither is stated in our listing. Please discuss calibration certificate availability and warranty cover with us before you order.
Do you supply export and tender orders?
Yes. We quote for institutions in India and international markets; share the quantity, voltage and delivery location.
