Benchmark LC-8 3500 Centrifuge is a compact, high-performance benchtop centrifuge designed for a variety of clinical and research applications. With an 8-position rotor that directly accepts 15ml and 10ml tubes, this unit combines safety, precision, and convenience in a small footprint.
The LC-8 features a clear, backlit LCD control panel, allowing for quick adjustments to speed, time, and rotor force (RPM or RCF). A removable rotor simplifies cleaning, while an advanced imbalance detection system and digital safety lid lock provide security during operation. Optional adapters make it compatible with a wide range of blood collection and culture tubes.
Features:
- Eight-position rotor accommodates 10ml and 15ml test tubes (conical or round-bottom)
- Optional adapters available for blood collection and culture tubes
- Rotor is fully removable for fast, easy cleaning
- Speed adjustable in both RPM and RCF (max: 3,500 RPM or 1,500 x g)
- Back-lit LCD screen for easy operation
- Digital timer: 20 sec to 99 min
- Advanced settings for acceleration/deceleration profile control
- Secure lid lock and imbalance detection for user safety
- Quiet and compact design — ideal for tight lab spaces
Reliable Performance
Powered by a microprocessor-controlled motor, the LC-8 ensures consistent performance and smooth acceleration. Built-in imbalance detection automatically halts operation to protect the rotor and samples if uneven loading occurs.
