Product catalog summary
Overview: This document from High Technology, Inc. (HTI) serves as a comprehensive guide for selecting the appropriate centrifuge for laboratory needs, focusing on the PowerSpin™ series. It highlights the importance of Relative Centrifugal Force (RCF) over speed (RPM) for effective specimen separation.
Key Specifications and Features:
  • RCF vs. RPM: Emphasizes the significance of RCF in specimen separation, providing a formula for its calculation based on rotor radius and speed.
  • CLIA Compliance: Laboratories are required to calibrate centrifuges every six months to comply with CLIA regulations, ensuring accuracy within ±100 RPM of the set speed.
  • Urine Sample Centrifugation: Urine samples require a lower RCF than blood samples, and using a blood centrifuge for urine may lead to non-compliance with CLIA standards.
Product Range:
  • PowerSpin™ FX and LX Models: Available in fixed (FX) and variable (LX) speed models, accommodating 6 or 8 tubes with optional adapters for smaller tubes. Features include quiet operation, safety latching lid, and maintenance-free motors.
  • PowerSpin™ HX Model: A fixed-speed centrifuge with a horizontal rotor for complete separation, featuring a digital timer and safety lock.
  • PowerSpin™ PX Model: Designed for mobile use, with a 12V car adapter and optional AC power adapter.
  • PowerSpin™ DX Model: Offers variable speed with multiple rotor options for different specimen types, featuring digital controls and a maintenance-free motor.
  • PowerSpin™ BX Model: A versatile centrifuge with interchangeable rotors for different tube sizes and speeds, featuring advanced safety features and automatic rotor detection.
Accessories and Options: The catalog lists various accessories such as tube adapters, rotors, and tachometers to enhance centrifuge functionality and compliance.
Conclusion: HTI's PowerSpin™ series offers a range of centrifuges tailored to specific laboratory needs, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards and providing reliable performance for specimen processing.
Additional Specifications: The document also details specifications for various PowerSpin™ Centrifuge models, focusing on microhematocrit and microcentrifuge applications. It includes rotor options, tube adapters, and operational features.
Operational Features:
  • Digital LCD display with push-button control for user-friendly operation.
  • Safety features include a disengaged 'Open' button while the rotor is in motion and a safety switch in the latch to shut off the motor when the lid is lifted.
  • Maintenance-free brushless motors and a lid window for tachometer calibration checks.
Performance Parameters:
  • Fecal Speed: 1600 RPM, Fecal Time: 10 minutes.
  • Urine Speed: 2000-2300 RPM, Urine Time: 5 minutes.
  • Blood Speed: 5000-13,000 RPM, Blood Time: 4-5 minutes.
Accessories and Versatility:
  • BX Rotor Rack for organizing rotors and accessories, with options for bench-top or wall-mounted setup.
  • New microhematocrit tube adapters enhance rotor versatility, allowing for microhematocrit separation at 5,000 RPM in an 8-minute run.
Additional Information:
  • All metal housing for durability, with acid and reagent-resistant paint.
  • Indicator light for operational status and electric motor braking for safety.
  • One-year limited warranty provided.

Centrifuge Selection Guide HTI PowerSpin™ This guide should help you choose the right HTI centrifuge for your specific needs. Speed (RPM) vs. g-Force (RCF): The most important factor when choosing a centrifuge is the g-Force, or RCF, not the speed. The RCF determines the ability of a centrifuge to separate the specimen. Most specimens must be spun within a specific RCF range in order to properly prep the sample for testing and analysis. The guide below will help you select a model based on RCF, RPM, # of tubes, specimens and other attributes. Urine Sample Centrifugation: A note of caution if...
