IEC Centra CL3: A High-Performance Benchtop Centrifuge Tailored to Laboratory Needs
The IEC Centra CL3 is designed to meet the demands of modern laboratories, combining ease of use with high-level performance. This compact benchtop centrifuge seamlessly integrates into limited workspace while offering significant processing capacity. Its brushless motor requires minimal maintenance and ensures smooth, reliable operation. The optimized height allows for easy accessibility and hassle-free rotor changes.
Its intuitive interface and LED screen facilitate cycle programming, with the ability to save and lock up to 99 distinct protocols. This feature ensures optimal reproducibility, crucial for laboratories with standardized procedures. The At-Speed™ timer starts the countdown only once the target speed is reached, ensuring uniform exposure of samples to centrifugal force, regardless of their volume or density.
One of the primary strengths of the IEC Centra CL3 is its high level of safety and design focused on preserving sample integrity. The Aerocarrier™ containment system prevents contamination by retaining bioaerosols and keeping tubes securely sealed during operation. The adapters are lightweight, easily manageable, and compatible with autoclave sterilization or cleaning with standard disinfectants. This prevents material degradation and ensures optimal hygiene in medical or scientific environments.
The screw-on lids are designed for effortless handling, even with gloves, reducing user fatigue and enhancing the practicality of the device. The compact and ergonomic design also improves safety by minimizing the need for complex manipulations when loading or unloading samples.
The IEC Centra CL3 offers great flexibility in rotor and accessory choices, accommodating a variety of tube formats from microtubes to 250 mL flasks. This versatility makes it suitable for both cell biology research and medical analyses such as hematology or urine tests. With a rotation speed of up to 8,500 rpm for fixed-angle rotors and 4,000 rpm for swing-out rotors, it ensures efficient and rapid sample separation.
The Rapid Condition cooling system reaches 4°C in just seven minutes, particularly useful for thermosensitive samples requiring precise centrifugation conditions. Acceleration and deceleration are adjustable to prevent turbulence and resuspension of fragile cellular components. This fine control of parameters ensures gentle sample handling while maintaining maximum efficiency.
With its numerous features and robust design, the IEC Centra CL3 stands out as a top choice for laboratories needing an efficient, reliable, and user-friendly centrifuge. Its wide range of compatible rotors and accessories allows for quick adaptation to various applications, from cell culture to blood separation and other biomedical analyses. Its durable construction and brushless motor minimize maintenance needs, ensuring longevity and increased profitability for research institutions and clinical laboratories.
Whether optimizing experimental processes or ensuring consistent and reproducible results, the IEC Centra CL3 meets the expectations of the most demanding professionals in centrifugation. Its intuitive use, combined with a high level of safety and proven performance, makes it a major asset for all scientific and medical environments.
