The Master Science Low Speed Centrifuge is a large-capacity benchtop unit that spins up to 4 × 750 mL with a swing rotor, or 50 mL tubes at 6000 rpm and 5502 ×g with an angle rotor. Program, RCF, speed, time, ramp rates and rotor type are all set on a colour touch screen.
A brushless AC variable-frequency motor drives the rotor, and a double lid lock engages as soon as a run starts. Adapters cover blood collection tubes, conical tubes, bottles and microplates.

Common Laboratory Problems and How This Centrifuge Helps
How the Master Science Low Speed Centrifuge helps daily sample work:
- Splitting large samples into many runs: 4 × 750 mL per run.
- Unbalanced loads damaging the rotor: automatic detection and stop.
- Aerosol exposure: sunken exhaust design.
- Re-entering settings each time: stored programs.
