This LSC-20 laboratory centrifuge is a benchtop low speed machine that spins sample tubes at 0 to 4000rpm, giving a maximum centrifugal force of 1920xg. It has a transparent hinged lid with an open lid safety lock, an LCD display, a timer and a 60W motor, and comes in 6 or 8 tube rotor versions for 110V or 220V supply.
Features and benefits:
- 0 to 4000rpm with up to 1920xg - covers routine low speed spinning of tube samples in a workshop, school or lab
- Open lid safety lock - the rotor chamber is closed off while the machine is running
- Clear hinged lid - lets you watch the rotor without opening the chamber
- Two knob control panel - one knob for speed and one for the timer, with a small display window
- LSC-20H timer from 0 to 999 minutes with speed display; LSC-20M timer from 0 to 99 minutes with no speed display
- 6 or 8 tube rotor choice - pick the LSC-20H with 6 holes or 8 holes, or the LSC-20M with 6 holes
- Noise of 35dB or less and four black rubber feet - sits steady and quiet on the bench
Applications:
- Separating liquid samples in school and teaching laboratories
- Spinning tubes of 2ml, 5ml, 7ml and 10ml capacity
- Workshop, food, cosmetics and brewing sample preparation
- General laboratory bench work needing low speed spinning
Note: Balance tubes in opposite positions before each run and keep the lid closed until the rotor has stopped. Choose the 110V or 220V option to match your supply. The rear power inlet is an IEC style socket, so use a suitable mains lead.

Rotor label: Low Speed Centrifuge marking on the rotor cover. Battery: Not included. Q: What is a laboratory centrifuge used for? A: A laboratory centrifuge spins tubes at speed so that the contents separate by density. This LSC-20 runs at 0 to 4000rpm for routine low speed work.. Q: What is the difference between the LSC-20M and LSC-20H? A: The LSC-20M has 6 holes, a 0 to 99 minute timer and no speed display. The LSC-20H has a 0 to 999 minute timer and a speed display, and comes with 6 or 8 holes.. Q: How many tubes does this centrifuge hold? A: It holds 6 tubes on the 6 hole versions and 8 tubes on the 8 hole LSC-20H. Tubes of 2ml, 5ml, 7ml and 10ml fit the sleeves.. Q: Is this a microcentrifuge? A: No, it is a larger benchtop low speed centrifuge with sleeves 18mm inside diameter and 95mm long, made for full size tubes rather than small micro tubes.. Q: Does the lid lock while it is running? A: Yes, it has an open lid safety lock, and the lid is a clear hinged cover so you can see the rotor..
