High-speed laboratory centrifuge New Brunswick Scientific

CEPA centrifuges are characterized by their ability to process many times the volume of their tubular bowl. Fluid mixtures are fed into the bottom of the rapidly rotating separation chamber. Solids are retained, while liquid components are expelled from the top of the chamber through a collection tray. For liquid-liquid separations, two collection trays are used. The retained solids cake is dry and densely packed by the high G-forces of the CEPA centrifuge. Plastic bowl liners are available for models LE, Z41 and Z61 to facilitate cell paste removal.

The optimum size of a centrifuge for a given application depends on the properties of the process liquid. Typical process volumes specified for each centrifuge are approximate. Contact NBS for a no-obligation consultation regarding your specific application.
