Couldn't load pickup availability
Clinical doctor centrifuge for platelet-rich plasma (PRP), serum separation, hematocrit, urinalysis, and routine pathology workflow, 3500 RPM, 5-step speed regulator, swing-out rotor for 15 mL glass or plastic tubes. Powder-coated steel body, vibration-free resiliently-mounted motor (quiet and stable during high-RPM spin). Autoclavable tube carriers. 3 variants covering solo-doctor to clinic-scale workflow: 4-tube $149 · 6-tube $199 · 8-tube $249. Ideal PRP workflow tool for aesthetic, orthopedic and dental practices adopting regenerative medicine. Also perfect for pathology labs, small hospital wards, and veterinary clinics.
Variant Selection
| Variant | Buckets | Best For | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4 Buckets | 4 × 15 mL | Solo doctor, small clinic, occasional PRP (1-2 PRP prep tubes per session) | $149 |
| 6 Buckets | 6 × 15 mL | Group practice, moderate PRP workflow, small pathology lab | $199 |
| 8 Buckets | 8 × 15 mL | Multi-provider clinic, high-throughput PRP and aesthetic practice, small hospital ward pathology | $249 |
PRP Protocol Compatibility
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) prep typically requires 2-spin protocol: first spin at low RPM (~1500 RPM × 10 min) separates blood into RBC layer and plasma with platelets suspended above. Second spin at higher RPM (~3500 RPM × 10 min) concentrates platelets. This centrifuge's 3500 RPM top speed and 5-step regulator directly supports both spins. Compatible with all standard PRP kits (Emcyte, Arthrex, Selphyl, EmCyte, ProGen, and generic PRP tube systems using 15 mL blood collection).

Applications
- Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP): aesthetic medicine (hair restoration, facial rejuvenation), orthopedic (joint injection), dental (bone graft PRF), veterinary (equine joint therapy)
- Serum separation: clinical chemistry sample prep (routine practice pathology and POC labs)
- Hematocrit measurement: with Wintrobe tubes (RBC packed cell volume)
- Urinalysis sediment: spin-down for microscopic exam
- Cell suspensions: cell culture washes, cell counting prep
- Veterinary chemistry and hematology: small animal pathology sample prep
- Coagulation testing: PT/PTT sample prep (blood bank and coag lab)
- Research labs: general purpose small-volume spinning

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this FDA-cleared for PRP?
PRP centrifuges themselves are typically class I devices, this centrifuge is FDA-registered class I equipment. PRP as a treatment is regulated per procedure. Follow your facility SOP and state regulations for autologous PRP administration. Most PRP practices use general-purpose swing-out clinical centrifuges like this at 3500 RPM.
How does this compare to dedicated PRP centrifuges (Emcyte, Arthrex Angel)?
Dedicated PRP systems (Emcyte, Angel, Selphyl) run $3,500-$15,000 and include proprietary tube kits and automated separation protocols. This is a general-purpose clinical centrifuge at $149-$249, use with any generic PRP tube system. For high-volume dedicated PRP practice, invest in Emcyte. For occasional / mid-volume PRP, general lab use, this general-purpose centrifuge is 5-15% of the cost and far more versatile.
Angle vs swing-out rotor?
Swing-out (this centrifuge's default) buckets hang vertical during spin, creates a horizontal supernatant layer, perfect for PRP layer separation and serum separation. Angle rotor holds tubes at ~35-45° during spin, pellets to the side, better for pelleting cells but poor for PRP. Order the swing-out (default) for PRP work.
Are tubes included?
NO, centrifuge only. Tubes must be sourced separately. We stock 15 mL PRP tubes and Vacutainer 3.2% sodium citrate and generic 15 mL glass conical tubes. Email us for tube-centrifuge bundle pricing.
