Used THERMO FISHER SCIENTIFIC / SHANDON Cytospin 3 #9075635 for sale

THERMO FISHER SCIENTIFIC / SHANDON Cytospin 3 is an adjustable speed centrifuge designed for preparing cell suspensions for cytologic studies. It is a self-contained, benchtop unit with a transparent safety shield and sealed motorized lid. Features include variable speed settings ranging from 500-3000 rpm and a collective switch-off system in the event of an imbalance. The Cytospin is designed to handle test tubes of up to 20ml in diameter and supports dual speeds with a timer. The transparent safety shield allows for observation of the sample throughout the centrifugation process. Additionally, SHANDON Cytospin 3 is also equipped with a brushless AC motor and a stainless steel centrifugal chamber. The Cytospin uses a two-stage process for processing cells. In the first stage, a sample-filled tube is loaded onto the rotor and closed by the lid. After the lid is tightly secured, the motor starts up the centrifuge at speeds determined by the user. As the centrifuge runs, the force of centrifugal force works to spread the cells across the surface of the glass slide. In the second stage, the sample is then retrieved from the chamber with the help of a vacuum tube attachment. The tubes are emptied onto a glass slide, and after all samples have been processed, a preparation sheet can be placed on top of the slide. This finishing step helps ensure uniform expansion of the cell layers. THERMO FISHER SCIENTIFIC Cytospin 3 features a removable pusher plate that simplifies slide assembly and removal. With its automated program and structural design, the Cytospin promises fast and reproducible results with minimal user intervention. Its user-friendly operation allows for simple centralized operation and enables it to serve as a part of larger medical and research laboratories.
