Description
We recognise that one of the most important tasks in every veterinary practice laboratory is to centrifuge blood samples quickly to obtain either plasma or serum free from haemolysis which are essential for accurate test results. The VetSpin® Micro is the ideal, low-cost solution for this task occupying very little bench space and capable of separating plasma/serum from up to 8 x 2ml whole blood samples as well as processing up to 12 microhaematocrit test, with the use of another rotor, in just 3 mins. The VetSpin® Micro is also very simple and safe to use conforming to CE and UK legislation.
A variety of screw capped plastic blood tubes can be accommodated from 0.5ml to 2ml in the 8 piece blood tube rotor as well standard microcentrifuge tubes up to 2ml and 12 x 40mm microhaematocrit capillary tubes in the separate microhaematocrit rotor

It also prolongs the working life of both centrifuges and insures against being unable to process blood samples in the unlikely event of a breakdown occurring with one of the units.

Using the VetSpin® Micro Centrifuge
Open lid, switch on, load blood tubes in a weight balanced position and close the lid. Motor starts automatically. The speed is fixed at 10,000rpm and set your pocket alarm timer for appropriate time (usually 3 mins). To stop either switch off or release lid lock and wait for rotor to stop. Both rotors are perfectly round in shape with no sharp edges for extra safety.
Changing the Rotors
Rotors are changed using a simple unique, tool-free system–just squeeze the clip with your fingers and lift off rotor, then just push on the other rotor. A complete User Manual is provided.
