Product Specifications The Thermo Scientific Heraeus Labofuge 300 is a small medical centrifuge with swinging bucket rotor, ideal for centrifugation of blood collection tubes and medical laboratories or practices with low sample throughput. Thermo Scientific Heraeus Labofuge 300 An economical and comprehensive small medical centrifuge with swinging bucket rotor Benefits • Economical small centrifuge with swinging bucket rotor • Ideal centrifugation of blood collection tubes • Complete system with 8-place swinging bucket rotor and buckets • Outstanding quality and reliability with induction drive and microprocessor control Swinging Bucket Rotor Blood cells Blood cells Plasma contaminated with blood cells Ideal for Virus Testing The Heraeus® Labofuge® 300 centrifuge is particularly suited to diagnostics and therapy of viral diseases (HIV, hepatitis). Blood Collection Tubes with Gel Barrier A. Using fixed angle rotors with gel barrier blood collection tubes can result in plasma contamination. B. The swinging bucket rotor purifies plasma with no red blood cell contamination. In the field of virus testing, tubes with a gel barrier (“gel tubes”) are commonly used. Immediately after a blood sample has been taken, these tubes must be spun. Once centrifugation is complete, the blood plasma is separated from red blood cells by a layer of gel. This gel layer prevents mixing and resultant decomposition of viruses. Unlike fixed angle rotors, which can lead to contamination within the gel tube, the Heraeus Labofuge 300 centrifuge’s swinging bucket rotor ensures the gel barrier sticks to the tube wall with no traces of contamination in the plasma. The tubes can then be stored or transported to a laboratory for virus testing. The Heraeus Labofuge 300 can also spin ordinary blood sample tubes and glass tubes.
