CompactStar CS4: The Compact and High-Performance Laboratory Centrifuge
The CompactStar CS4 centrifuge from VWR is a versatile piece of equipment designed to meet the demands of modern laboratories. Compact yet powerful, it is ideal for sample separation across various fields, including research, biotechnology, analytical chemistry, clinical sciences, and education. With an ergonomic design and high-quality technical features, it ensures precise, rapid, and safe operation.
Capable of processing up to 6 tubes of 15 ml simultaneously, the CompactStar CS4 reaches a maximum speed of 6,500 revolutions per minute, generating a relative centrifugal force (RCF) of 4,000 x g. This power delivers reliable results in record time, even for complex applications or high-density samples. With the included adapters, the centrifuge is compatible with smaller tubes, providing great flexibility for various laboratory needs.
Designed to fit seamlessly into any laboratory environment, the CompactStar CS4 measures just 210 mm in width, 240 mm in depth, and 180 mm in height. Its small footprint and robust design make it an ideal choice for limited spaces while ensuring optimal stability during operation. It features an automatic lid-locking system, guaranteeing maximum user safety, as the centrifuge can only start when the lid is securely closed.
The intuitive control panel allows precise adjustments of speed and duration, with settings ranging from 300 to 6,500 RPM and programmable cycles from 0.5 to 30 minutes. For specific requirements, it also includes a manual quick-spin function, providing direct control for the operator.
Another key advantage of the CompactStar CS4 is its simplified maintenance. The rotor, angled at 30°, can be easily removed for cleaning or autoclaving, ensuring impeccable hygiene—crucial for laboratories handling sensitive or biological samples. Additionally, the device is engineered to minimize overheating, thanks to an integrated ventilation system, which extends its operational lifespan.
Certified to comply with European standards (EN 61010), the CompactStar CS4 adheres to the highest safety requirements for electrical laboratory equipment. It is also environmentally friendly, meeting the latest recycling and sustainability regulations.
