Shandon Cytospin Sealed Rotor: Safety, Performance and Control of Liquid Samples
The sealed rotor of the Shandon Cytospin 4 is a key component in the cytocentrifugation process, particularly in laboratory environments requiring analysis of cell-poor liquids. Designed for perfect compatibility with the Shandon Cytospin 4 cytocentrifuge, this rotor allows up to 12 sample chambers to be installed simultaneously. This allows laboratories to improve their workflow while maintaining impeccable analysis accuracy. The rotor's seal plays a central role in safety, both for the operator and the sample itself: it prevents liquid leaks during centrifugation, significantly reducing the risk of cross-contamination or accidental exposure to pathogens.
This rotor is fully autoclavable, making it reusable after disinfection, in full compliance with the strict requirements of clinical and research laboratories. It is part of a rigorous approach to traceability and hygiene. Samples can be loaded and unloaded quickly and safely thanks to compatibility with Shandon Cytofunnel® disposable sample chambers . These chambers promote uniform cell deposition on the microscope slide, ensuring clear presentation of nuclei and facilitating cytological interpretation.
Used in fields as varied as cytology, microbiology, haematology and virology, this rotor produces high-quality thin-layer preparations from a minimal sample volume. It is particularly suitable for liquids such as urine, cerebrospinal fluid and peripheral blood. The specific angle of the sample chambers when stationary prevents cell loss and smearing on the slides, maximising the reliability of the results.
Combining efficiency, safety and compatibility, the Shandon Cytospin sealed rotor is the solution of choice for any laboratory that demands precision and productivity in its cytological preparations.
