The bench-top design, combined with a sample capacity of 24 capillaries per run, makes it an indispensable tool for blood banks and hematology labs nationwide.
FAQs of HEAMATOCRITE CENTRIFUGES:
Q: How do I safely operate the HCM-24 Hematocrit Centrifuge?
A: To operate safely, load the capillary tubes evenly into the aluminum rotor, close the lid, and ensure the manual lid lock is secured. Set the desired time using the mechanical timer, and start the device. The lid interlock prevents accidental opening while running, guaranteeing user safety.
Q: What maintenance procedures are recommended to ensure optimal performance?
A: Routine maintenance involves cleaning the rotor and centrifuge chamber with a soft, damp cloth, checking the balance of the rotor before each use, and inspecting the unit for worn parts. Spare fuses are provided for convenient replacement. Keeping the device vibration-free ensures precise measurements.
Q: When should the capillary tube reader be used?
A: Once the centrifuge cycle completes and the rotor comes to a complete stop, open the lid and carefully remove the capillary tubes. Use the included capillary tube reader to measure the packed erythrocyte volume (hematocrit) for accurate analysis.
Q: Where can the HCM-24 be installed and utilized effectively?
A: This bench-top centrifuge is ideal for laboratory settings such as hematology labs and blood banks. It should be set on a stable, level surface with ambient temperature and access to a 220 V AC power supply for best results.
Q: What benefits does the HCM-24 offer over traditional methods?
A: The HCM-24 provides faster and more precise hematocrit determinations with minimal noise (<60 dB), high sample capacity, and advanced safety interlockssignificantly improving workflow efficiency and laboratory safety while ensuring high-precision results.
Q: How does the lid interlock system enhance user protection?
A: The built-in lid interlock mechanism prevents the lid from being opened during operation, minimizing the risk of accidental injury and maintaining a secure working environment for users.
