Cyto Centrifuge

Product Description

The Thermo Scientific Cytospin 4 Cytocentrifuge is the ultimate thin-layer cell preparation system.
 
Synonymous with cytocentrifugation for over *0 years, this reliable instrument is used in more than *5,**0 laboratories worldwide. It provides economical thin-layer preparations from any liquid matrix, especially hypocellular fluids such as spinal fluids and urines.

Pull-out program card allows for up to nine programs to be logged for fast and convenient retrieval
Safe and Reliable
Protects the operator before, during, and after sample preparation
Ultimate safety procedures allow loading of the sealed head in a microbiological cabinet
Auto-locking, plastic outer lid
Disposable sample chambers with caps
Safety alarms protect users and specimens
Wipe-clean control panel 
Simple Principle for Excellent Presentation
 
Using centrifugal principles, the cytocentrifuge deposits cells onto a clearly defined area of a glass slide and allows for the absorption of the residual fluid into the sample chamber's filter. card.
Cytocentrifugation also constructively flattens cells for excellent nuclear presentation.
During operation, the instrument's spinning action tilts the Shandon* Cytofunnels* upright and centrifuges cells onto the deposition area of the slide, giving all cell types equal opportunity for presentation.
In the Load or Stop position, this unique tilting feature reduces cell loss by preventing residual fluid from coming into contact with the prepared slide.
 
Simple and Precise Controls
Protected program memory stores up to *3 routines for instant recall and protects from power loss.
Program keypad has easy-touch design that allows for easier keystrokes and more intuitive programming.
Speed window displays the programmed spinning speeds from ******0rpm.
Three acceleration control s allow the operator excellent flexibility and exceptional protection for fragile samples.
Time window displays the programmed and remaining run time from 1 to *9.
Control feature has a standby power-saving mode; displays are also turned on and off by the standby key.
Safety alarms include an audible alarm when the cytocentrifuge is out of balance, outside the speed tolerance, or if the lid is not properly locked.
Unit will not spin if the lid is not locked.
Specimen safety alarm feature reminds users at one-minute intervals to remove specimens, protect them from air-drying, and ensure consistent results.
