Description

This device is an MLW T24 laboratory centrifuge, featuring a robust, heavy-duty floor or benchtop housing with a grey metal body, a top-loading hinged lid, analog meters on the front panel, and a central timer/speed control dial alongside operational push buttons.

Function

It spins liquid samples at high rotational speeds to generate centrifugal force, effectively separating mixtures into distinct components based on density—such as separating blood plasma from cellular elements, isolating precipitates, or separating solids from liquids in chemical and biological suspensions.
