Complete Product Description

Hettich EBA 270 Small Centrifuge

The Hettich EBA 270 Small centrifuge with swing-out rotor specially designed for medical practices. The Hettich EBA 270 accepts common blood collection and urine tubes up to a volume of 15 ml and accelerates them to a maximum speed of 4,000 min-1. This corresponds to a RCF of 2,254. The EBA 270 centrifuge's speed and running time can be variably adjusted for different applications. A pulse key enables short centrifuging. In addition, the Hettich EBA 270 features lid locking and holding, imbalance switch-off, lid closure of metal and emergency lid lock release.

The Hettich EBA 270 delivers optimal separation results and a horizontal layer of the separating gel that is identical to that achieved with a large centrifuge. Samples are therefore optimally prepared for analysis.

Hettich EBA 270 User friendliness

• The centrifuge's speed and running time can be variably adjusted for different applications:
  
  • Speed in RPM
  • Entry in increments of 100
  • Time in min
  • Entry in minutes, up to 99 min
• The parameters are displayed during centrifugation

• Open lid key

Hettich EBA 270 Safety

• Lid locking and holding during rotor run
• Emergency lid lock release
• Lid closure of metal
• Imbalance switch-off
• Flexible motor bearings:
  • Even if there is a slight imbalance the centrifuge will run smoothly and remain in position on the bench.

Hettich EBA 270 Design

• Smooth plastic housing, easy to clean
• Metal lid
• Stainless steel centrifuging chamber,
• deep-drawn and seamless

Samples that are ideally prepared for clinical investigations have a clear separation of serum/plasma from the solid constituents of blood. To make sure that this separation is maintained during transportation to the laboratory carrying out the investigation, the use of sample tubes with a separating gel is preferred. However, the samples do not always satisfy the requirements of the laboratories. In some cases the gel layer is too thin or it varies in thickness and the plasma/serum and sediment are not fully separated.

Many manufacturers of gel tubes therefore recommend centrifugation in a swing-out rotor. In such a rotor sedimentation proceeds in the direction of the tube axis, so that the constituents form horizontal layers of uniform thickness. The problem mentioned above is avoided and the samples can be analyzed without difficulty.

The Hettich EBA 270 is a compact centrifuge with such a swing-out rotor.
