The Sprint™ 8 includes an eight position, fixed angle rotor for the centrifugation of 10ml blood tubes (16 x 100mm), and 15ml conical tubes (17 x 120mm). Smaller blood tubes (12 x 75mm and 12 x 100mm) are also compatible with the use of optional adapters (C3100-ADP). With intuitive controls and a large LED display, virtually no programming or setup is required prior to starting a cycle. Simply use the up/down buttons to select the run time and press “START”. The safety lid-lock is engaged and the rotor quickly and smoothly accelerates to 3,400 rpm. Once the run time is completed (or the “STOP” button is pressed) the rotor comes to a complete stop and the lid lock is disengaged for removal of samples.
