Different Uses of a Heated Centrifuge
Varying temperature can affect the outcome of the centrifugation process. For applications that require temperature higher than ambient, a heated centrifuge can be used. The change in temperature can affect the outcome of liquid samples that are temperature-sensitive. This is the reason why heated centrifuges are considered very important tools. Heated centrifuges can also come in handy in the following scenarios:
- Facilitating sample separation
- Determining dairy and sediments
The temperature during the centrifugation process can be affected by three factors—rotor speed, insulation and the heating element. One great heated centrifuge that is used and recommended by many is the Rotofix 46 H. It comes with a heated option of up to +90 °C as its chamber temperature.
The Rotofix 46 H is also considered the ideal heated centrifuge for industrial and research laboratories. The tool is proven to be dependable and robust and can withstand intensive usage. Specialty buckets can hold conical tubes and ASTM pear-shaped tubes for petroleum testing.
