IEC Chemical Centrifuge Series

The IEC Chemical Centrifuge Series by Thermo Electron Corporation offers dependable, high-capacity centrifuges designed for both chemical and clinical laboratories. Known for their versatility and precision, these systems deliver consistent control of speed, temperature (in refrigerated models), and run time, ensuring reproducible results for a wide range of separation processes.

At HiTechTrader, we bring this proven technology within reach by offering pre-owned and refurbished IEC Chemical Centrifuges. Each unit is rigorously inspected, tested, and certified for accuracy, safety, and durability. With our expertise, you gain the performance of a brand-new centrifuge while benefiting from significant cost savings and reliable after-sale support.

Key Features

Drive System

1. Brushless three-phase motor for smooth, maintenance-free operation.
2. Maximum speeds up to 14,600 rpm (model dependent).
3. Relative centrifugal forces (RCF) reaching up to 23,000×g for efficient particle separation.

Speed & RCF Control

1. Easy-to-use digital display for setting and monitoring rotor speed (rpm) or RCF (×g).
2. Fine-tuned adjustment: 10 rpm steps for speed, 1×g increments for RCF.
3. Automatic rpm-to-RCF conversion based on rotor radius.

Temperature Control (Refrigerated Models)

1. Cooling range: –9°C to 40°C with ±1.5°C accuracy.
2. Continuous display of set and actual temperature.
3. Uses eco-friendly R134a refrigerant in compliance with environmental standards.

Capacity

1. Supports multiple rotor types including swinging bucket and fixed-angle options.
2. Example configurations: 4 × 280 mL buckets or 24 × 1.5 mL rotor tubes.

Safety Features

1. Secure lid interlock system prevents accidental access during operation.
2. Imbalance detection with automatic shutdown for operator safety.
3. Manual emergency lid release tool included for power outages.
4. Clear status indicators and lid-access lamp for safe operation.

Control Panel

1. Intuitive start/stop functionality with "pulse" mode for rapid spins.
2. Memory storage for frequently used programs.
3. Real-time parameter display: acceleration, braking, run time, and rotor radius.

Construction & Design

1. Compact benchtop footprint for easy lab integration.
2. Ventilated bowl design for efficient cooling in non-refrigerated units.
3. Corrosion-resistant materials for chemical durability.

Performance Overview

1. Max Speed: 14,600 rpm.
2. Max RCF: up to ~23,000×g.
3. Adjustable run time: seconds to 99 minutes, or continuous operation.
4. Programmable acceleration/deceleration (levels 1–9).
5. Imbalance tolerance up to ~10 g with 4 × 280 mL rotor.

Environmental & Operating Conditions

1. Indoor use, operating range 5°C to 40°C.
2. Relative humidity up to 85%.
3. Max altitude: 2000 m.
4. Storage temperature: –20°C to +50°C.

Applications

1. Chemical sample centrifugation with precise sedimentation control.
2. Processing temperature-sensitive samples using refrigerated models.
3. Clinical and biochemical research, diagnostics, and testing.
4. Separation and clarification of liquids, suspensions, and emulsions.
