Centrifuge KHT400 – Heamatocrit

The Centrifuge KHT400 is a specialized centrifuge often used in clinical laboratories for hematocrit testing. Hematocrit centrifuges like the KHT400 are designed specifically to measure the ratio of the volume of red blood cells to the total volume of blood, which is essential in diagnosing and monitoring conditions like anemia, dehydration, and polycythemia.

Key Features of the KHT400 Hematocrit Centrifuge:

1. Speed and Performance: Designed to achieve high speeds, typically around 12,000–16,000 RPM, allowing for rapid separation of blood components.
2. Capacity: Holds multiple capillary tubes (usually up to 24), enabling batch processing of samples, which is efficient for high-throughput labs.
3. Timer and Display: Often equipped with a digital timer, which can be set for the precise centrifugation duration (typically 5-10 minutes), with an easy-to-read display.
4. Safety Features: Includes a lid lock to prevent accidental opening during operation and an automatic shutoff if the lid is lifted.
5. Compact Design: Generally compact and lightweight, making it suitable for laboratories with limited space.
