Horizontal separation offers many advantages over traditional fixed-angle
separations, including tighter straight-line gel separations to reduce
re-spins and re-mixes. The Straight 8-5K spins test tubes, up to 17 x 100mm,
at speeds up to 5,000 rpm, with microprocessor speed control. Simply program
the digital time and speed and the Straight 85K will lock the lid and spin the
load. G-forces up to 4,000 g’s will produce platelet-free or platlet-poor-plasma
in minutes.

The zero-rpm interlocking metal lid will stay locked until the rotor has come
to a stop, to ensure safety. The all-metal rotor and tube shields are built
for strength and durability, and the wide-mouth metal bowl allows for easy
cleanup. The whisper-quiet heavy-duty brushless DC motor can handle high
volume use and high-speed full loads for years to come.
