Hand Centrifuges
Explore hand-operated centrifuges designed for simple and convenient sample separation without the need for electrical power.
Hand centrifuges use manual mechanical operation to generate centrifugal force for separating components within liquid samples. Their straightforward design makes them suitable for basic laboratory procedures, educational use and applications where electrical power is unavailable or portability is important.
Hand centrifuges can be used for basic sample separation, sedimentation and preparation of small-volume samples, depending on the rotor and tube configuration. Their manually operated mechanism provides a practical alternative to electrically powered laboratory centrifuges for suitable applications.
The compact and portable design makes hand centrifuges suitable for educational laboratories, field testing, basic research, remote locations and general laboratory applications where simple centrifugation is required.
When selecting a hand centrifuge, consider the rotor configuration, tube capacity, compatible tube size, operating mechanism, construction, portability and intended application. For applications requiring controlled RPM, higher centrifugal force or programmable centrifugation cycles, an electrically powered laboratory centrifuge may be more appropriate.
