8 Samples Heated Gerber Centrifuge For Milk Fat Determination

It is used for standard physiochemical tests on the relative density and fat volume of milk products with the method of Gerber. It applies in such fields as milk and milk products, medicine and pharmacy, biochemistry, and hygienic food to measure the volume or percentage of the fat centrifuged from milk.

• Power coated housing. Stainless steel chamber with guarding ring.
• Reliable drive system. Variable frequency motor maintenance free.
• Electronic safety lock prevent cover opening during centrifugation.
• Manually lid open in case of failure or emergency.
• Pneumatic spring supports prevent falling of lid.
• Recall of last settings. Parameters can be changed during operation.
• Microprocessor control of all functions: speed, time, temperature, acceleration/deceleration, RCF, *program memory, error display.
• The self-diagnostic system provides protection for imbalance, over-temperature / speed/voltage, and electronic lock.
• Optional: Automatic lid opening at the end of run.

A laboratory centrifuge employs centrifugal force to separate fluid components by density. By rapidly spinning samples, it drives denser particles radially outward, causing them to settle at the bottom of tubes, while lighter substances migrate toward the center. This process effectively filters contaminants or isolates target materials like cells, DNA, or proteins. Centrifuges feature either a fixed-angle or swing-out bucket rotor, each suited to specific containers and separation goals. Key selection factors include sample type, volume, speed (RPM/RCF), and temperature control. Models range from space-saving benchtop units for routine clinical work to powerful floor-standing systems for high-volume research, all incorporating essential safety and digital controls.
