Ortoalresa has a wide range of centrifuges for all applications. Our users are from a very wide range of laboratories, from the most elementary, for hospital applications and clinical analysis labs, to microbiology departments, research centres, quality control labs for drinks, food and different production processes, etc.

This wide range of users has led us to segment our line of centrifuges starting with an essential criterion: The tubes. Thus, we define the section of centrifuges for “general applications” such as those that use standard and commonly used tubes. For any query about tubes considered frequently usedin the tubes reference section.

For this type of applications, the differentiating elements are parameters such as RPM, RCF, volume or number of tubes and the need for temperature control. These parameters are decisive when choosing equipment, in the “guide for choosing equipment”  you will find more information on this issue.

Below you can find our centrifuges for “general applications” organized according to equipment size, as well as the two versions (force ventilated and refrigerated) if available. After their datasheet, you will find a chart with the accessories available in each series.

All centrifuges in this section have these characteristics in common:

• Microprocessor control.
• Maintenance-free induction motor (brushless).
• List of rotors in memory.
• Level of noise: less than 60 dB.
• Buttons for controlling on/off, lid opening and short cycle with adjustable speed.
• Possibility to lock /modify RPM /RCF while in operation.
• Programmable automatic opening of lid (non-refrigerated models).
• Low height for easy access.
• Last used parameters maintained in memory.
• Protection against excess speed.
• Lid with security system:
  • Automatic lid lock system, motorized, and emergency lid-lock release.
  • Locked and protected against opening while in operation.
  • Lid dropping protection.
  • Port in the lid for calibration and operation checking.
• Ergonomic design that allows closing the lid effortlessly.
• Unbalance detection and switch off.
• Protection safety ring between the centrifugation chamber and the housing.
• Stainless steel centrifugation chamber (easy to clean).
• Rotors removable with the lid closed.
• Autoclavable rotors and reducers, easy to install by the user.

Centrifuges came out of laboratories and are now a part of production processes. This has resulted in them being present in highly different environments such as kitchens, operating rooms, power plants or in recovery centers of endangered and threatened species.

In this section, you will find equipment for these types of applications that have a common characteristic: They follow specific standardised processes and the type of sample support is defined in the regulations they follow. For any question about the tubes considered frequent, please refer to our chart on tubes reference chart.

Thus, we find applications that require butyrometers, such as for the determination of fat in dairy products, others that require capillary tubes, such as for the determination of the microhematocrit values, others that require tubes compliant with ASTM regulations for cylindrical-conical tubes measuring 6”, 8”, etc.

Nevertheless, this diversity of applications still allows us to make a second division in our line of “special applications”: centrifuges for industrial applications and centrifuges for life sciences applications.
