Overview

The 4E's USA CFG400101 Hematocrit Centrifuge is purpose-built for laboratories that routinely process blood samples in capillary tubes. Unlike general-purpose clinical centrifuges designed around larger blood collection tubes, the CFG400101 provides the high rotational speed and dedicated capillary-tube rotor configuration needed for efficient microhematocrit testing.

The centrifuge reaches a maximum speed of 12,000 rpm with a maximum RCF of 14,800 × g when using the hematocrit rotor. Its standard rotor accommodates as many as 24 capillary tubes simultaneously, allowing laboratories to process multiple samples during a single run.

A supplied microhematocrit tube reader provides a convenient method for interpreting centrifuged capillary tubes following sample separation.

Modern electronic controls distinguish the CFG400101 from many traditional hematocrit centrifuges. A 5-inch HD touchscreen provides an intuitive interface for entering and viewing operating parameters, while microprocessor control helps provide consistent centrifugation from run to run.

Hematocrit and Packed Cell Volume Testing

Hematocrit testing measures the proportion of red blood cells, or erythrocytes, within a blood sample. After a capillary tube containing blood is centrifuged at high speed, the blood components separate according to density, allowing the packed red blood cell fraction to be evaluated.

The CFG400101 is designed specifically for this type of high-speed capillary tube separation. Its combination of 12,000 rpm maximum speed and 14,800 × g maximum RCF provides the centrifugal force needed to rapidly separate small-volume blood specimens.

The system can be used for determination of erythrocyte volume fractions in blood as well as separation of micro blood samples and solutions. It can also support workflows involving photometric assessment of bilirubin levels in neonatal blood specimens when used as part of an appropriate laboratory testing procedure.

Common Applications

The 4E's USA CFG400101 is well suited for hematocrit determination, packed cell volume testing, capillary blood sample processing, microhematocrit analysis, erythrocyte volume fraction determination, micro blood separation, veterinary hematology, clinical diagnostic workflows, neonatal blood sample preparation, and educational hematology applications.

Its dedicated rotor and relatively high centrifugal force make it particularly useful for facilities that routinely perform hematocrit testing rather than relying on a general-purpose centrifuge for every sample-processing procedure.

Ideal Laboratory Types

The CFG400101 is a practical choice for clinical laboratories, veterinary hospitals and diagnostic laboratories, physician office laboratories, hospitals, blood testing facilities, biomedical research laboratories, medical and veterinary schools, academic laboratories, and other facilities performing routine hematology testing.

Its compact benchtop dimensions also make it well suited for laboratories where workspace is limited or where a dedicated hematocrit centrifuge is preferred over tying up a larger multipurpose centrifuge.

24-Capillary-Tube Hematocrit Rotor

The CFG400101 comes equipped with a 24-capillary-tube hematocrit rotor, allowing laboratories to process as many as 24 capillary tubes during a single centrifugation cycle.

This capacity can be particularly valuable in clinical and veterinary environments where multiple blood specimens need to be processed efficiently.

A microhematocrit tube reader is also included, providing laboratories with the equipment needed to interpret packed cell volume after centrifugation.

For laboratories with different throughput requirements, a 12-capillary-tube rotor is available as an optional configuration.

Touchscreen Controls and Programmable Operation

A 5-inch HD touchscreen provides access to centrifuge operating parameters through an intuitive graphical interface. Compared with traditional centrifuges relying entirely on mechanical knobs or membrane keypads, the touchscreen allows users to quickly enter and review centrifugation settings.

The CFG400101 also provides multiple user-defined program options, allowing frequently used operating parameters to be stored for repeat laboratory procedures.

This can be particularly helpful in busy clinical environments where standardized centrifugation protocols are performed repeatedly throughout the day.

Acceleration and Deceleration Control

Different samples and laboratory protocols can benefit from controlled acceleration and braking characteristics.

The CFG400101 provides 10 acceleration rates and 11 deceleration rates, allowing the operator to customize how quickly the rotor reaches operating speed and how aggressively it slows at the end of the run.

This level of control provides greater flexibility than a basic hematocrit centrifuge with a single fixed acceleration and braking profile.

Brushless Motor and Low-Noise Operation

The CFG400101 uses a DC brushless motor designed for stable, reliable, and relatively quiet centrifuge operation.

Brushless motors eliminate the motor brushes found in conventional brushed designs, reducing a potential maintenance item while supporting consistent performance during routine laboratory use.

Operating noise is rated at 65 dB(A) or less, helping make the centrifuge suitable for busy laboratories where multiple instruments may be operating simultaneously.

Safety Features

High-speed centrifuges require effective safeguards to help prevent access to the rotor while it is operating.

The CFG400101 incorporates a door lid interlock as part of its safety system. The interlock helps prevent the centrifuge lid from being opened while the rotor is spinning, providing an important layer of operator protection during high-speed operation.

The centrifuge is designed to conform to applicable international safety standards and regulations for laboratory centrifugation equipment.

Choosing a Dedicated Hematocrit Centrifuge

Laboratories performing hematocrit testing regularly may benefit from using a dedicated hematocrit centrifuge rather than relying exclusively on a multipurpose clinical centrifuge.

Dedicated systems such as the CFG400101 are designed around the specific requirements of capillary tubes and microhematocrit testing. The 24-position rotor allows numerous capillary samples to be processed simultaneously, while the high-speed 12,000 rpm / 14,800 × g performance provides the centrifugal force required for efficient packed cell volume separation.

Using a dedicated hematocrit centrifuge can also keep larger clinical centrifuges available for serum tubes, plasma preparation, blood collection tubes, conical tubes, and other routine laboratory workflows.
