Usually, laboratory centrifuges with a maximum speed of 10,000 rpm or less are referred to as low-speed centrifuges. The most common speeds for low-speed centrifuges are 4,000rpm or 5,000rpm.
Low-speed centrifuges are compatible with a wide variety of rotors, such as microplate rotors and high-capacity swing-bucket rotors, to meet diverse centrifugation needs.
Low-speed centrifuges are commonly used in biological and biochemical research to separate cells, proteins, and other molecules from one another. They can also be used for general laboratory tasks, such as separating liquids from solids, or for processing samples for diagnostic tests.
