Laboratory Centrifuges

JP Selecta laboratory centrifuges separate components of liquid mixtures through controlled centrifugal force, with applications in haematology, microbiology, biochemistry, pharmacy and the food industry. Centrifuges integrate with our haematology equipment for clinical laboratories and blood banks that require routine processing of blood samples.

The operating principle relies on relative centrifugal force (RCF, expressed as multiples of g) that separates particles by density and size. Mechanical and electrical safety requirements are governed by IEC 61010-2-020 on safety requirements for laboratory centrifuges and by the European standard EN 12547 on common safety requirements for centrifuges.

The range includes benchtop universal centrifuges reaching 6,000 rpm with fixed-angle and interchangeable rotors for tubes from 1.5 to 50 ml, high-speed microcentrifuges reaching 15,000 rpm and 21,000 × g ideal for molecular biology protocols, refrigerated centrifuges for heat-sensitive samples and dedicated haematocrit centrifuges at 12,000 rpm. Use our interactive centrifuge configurator to find the ideal model based on rotor, capacity and speed.

Applications cover plasma and formed-element separation per the CLSI PRE04 guidelines on handling, transport and storage of blood specimens, packed red blood cell volume determination per CLSI H07 on microhaematocrit, DNA/RNA extraction protocols and cell concentration in microbiological cultures. Safe operation in biosafety laboratories follows CDC BMBL guidance on safe centrifuge use in BSL-2/BSL-3.

Regarding regulatory compliance, JP Selecta centrifuges meet the quality and competence requirements for medical laboratories described in ISO 15189:2022 and, for calibration applications, the general requirements of ISO 16063-17 on calibration of vibration transducers by centrifuge. Each unit includes a dynamic balancing certificate and qualification documentation.

Manufactured in Abrera under ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015 and ISO 13485:2018 certifications, JP Selecta centrifuges are supported by our official technical service specialized in clinical equipment and a network of original spare parts throughout Spain.
