Surge Scientific · Clinical Centrifuge
Clinical Centrifuge — 300–4,500 RPM with Programmable Timer
Serum · Plasma · PRP · PRF · Blood · Urinalysis · 5 / 7 / 10 / 15 mL Tubes
Clinical labs process dozens of blood draws and urinalysis requests every hour — and the centrifuge is where sample integrity is won or lost. The Surge Scientific Clinical Centrifuge delivers precise, repeatable low-speed separations in a compact benchtop form, with brushless DC motor reliability and a rotor versatile enough to handle the full range of clinical tube formats in a single spin.
Why Clinical Labs Choose This Centrifuge
Most benchtop clinical centrifuges force a trade-off: either you get a wide speed range or a versatile rotor — rarely both. Fixed-speed units are cheap to buy but expensive to own once you factor in the jammed sample queue every time a 15 mL tube request comes in and the rotor only accepts 10 mL vacutainers. Brushed motors wear predictably, introducing vibration and noise that compounds over the instrument's life, degrading both separation quality and operator comfort.
The Surge Scientific Clinical Centrifuge resolves this with a 12-position rotor that accepts 5, 7, and 10 mL tubes simultaneously alongside six 15 mL positions — the configuration that covers nearly every blood collection and urinalysis tube in active clinical use. The brushless DC motor eliminates scheduled brush replacement entirely, and the microcomputer control system holds speed to ±20 RPM across the full 300–4,500 RPM range. The result: reliable separations from the first spin to the ten-thousandth.
Full Clinical Speed Range — 300 to 4,500 RPM
Adjustable in 100 RPM increments from 300 to 4,500 RPM, with a maximum RCF of 2,490 × g. The RPM/RCF toggle lets operators enter g-force directly — eliminating the conversion math that causes protocol errors under time pressure. Covers serum, plasma, PRP, PRF, urine sediment, and buffy coat separations from a single instrument.
Dual-Format Rotor — 12 × Small + 6 × 15 mL
The included angle rotor holds 12 × 5/7/10 mL vacutainers or blood collection tubes and simultaneously accommodates 6 × 15 mL positions — no adapter swapping mid-shift. Compatible with standard vacutainer formats used across clinical chemistry, hematology, and urinalysis workflows.
Safety-First Design — Interlock · Auto-Release · Diagnostics
A door interlock prevents the rotor from engaging until the lid is fully secured. The automatic electric lid-release opens the lid at run completion — samples never overheat from a closed lid while the technician is across the room. Every power-on triggers automatic internal diagnostics, catching imbalance and overspeed conditions before centrifugation begins.
Brushless DC Motor — Maintenance-Free Operation
The brushless DC motor eliminates the wear component that grounds most clinical centrifuges after two to three years of heavy use. No brushes means no scheduled replacements, no progressive vibration increase, and no service interruptions. Quiet operation at ≤56 dB keeps the instrument unobtrusive in open-plan clinical environments.
PULSE mode — instant short spin, one button. Press and hold the PULSE key for rapid quick-spin separations without programming a timed run. Indispensable for collecting residual sample from tube walls and for rapid pelleting in high-throughput workflows where every second counts.

Rotor Configuration
12-Position Small Tube Rotor
Accepts 5 mL, 7 mL, and 10 mL culture tubes and blood collection vacutainers. The configuration used for the majority of routine clinical chemistry, immunology, and hematology separations. Fixed-angle rotor for consistent pellet formation.
6-Position 15 mL Configuration
Simultaneously accommodates six 15 mL conical tubes in the same rotor — no adapter change required. Handles urinalysis, urine sediment, larger plasma preparation volumes, and PRP/PRF clinical applications within the same centrifuge run.
Ideal Applications
Hospital & Clinical Laboratory
Serum and plasma separation for clinical chemistry panels, hematology, immunoassay, and point-of-care sample preparation. Handles the tube volumes and throughput demands of a busy hospital lab draw station.
PRP / PRF & Aesthetic Medicine
Platelet-rich plasma and platelet-rich fibrin preparation for regenerative medicine, orthopedic, dental, and aesthetic injection clinics. The 300–4,500 RPM range covers all established PRP and PRF protocol centrifugation steps.
Veterinary & Research Lab
Routine whole blood component separation in veterinary practices, as well as academic and industrial research labs requiring reliable low-speed centrifugation of biological fluids, urine sediment, and cell suspensions.
