A veterinary centrifuge should be selected according to the daily sample workflow of an animal clinic, not only by maximum speed. Small animal clinics may need centrifuges for blood tubes, serum or plasma preparation, urine sediment testing, and capillary tube hematocrit or PCV support. 

A microhematocrit centrifuge is used for small-volume blood testing where sealed capillary tubes are spun to separate packed red blood cells from plasma for hematocrit or PCV reading.

When comparing a microplate centrifuge vs centrifuge, the key question is not only speed. 

A PCR plate centrifuge is used for short spin-down steps in PCR, qPCR, and high-throughput molecular biology workflows.
