The Hawksley microhaematocrit Haematospin 1300 is a totally dedicated compact centrifuge for the determination of red cell packed volume by the micro-haematocrit method.
It accepts up to 24 capillary tubes which are spun at 11800rpm (13000xg rcf). There is a cycle time from 5 seconds to 30 minutes, controlled by a programmable timer which digitally displays time remaining as it is counted down. An automatic brake operates at the end of the cycle and a STOP message is displayed. This changes to an OPEN message when the rotor has halted and the safety lid lock, which operates whilst the rotor is running, has released. Other safety features include a mild steel guard barrier around the centrifuge bowl, steel plate in the lid to protect against rotor or sample failure, and imbalance detector. The outer case is constructed in epoxy coated sheet steel and includes a sealed switch panel with touch sensitive controls combining to produce an easily cleaned surface. Overall 245 x 230 x 280mm H x W x D, lid closed. With rotor for 24 hematocrit capillary tubes. For 220-240V 50Hz single phase supplies.
