Centrifuges contain many subtle features which can greatly impact the performance and design of the centrifuge.  In order to purchase the most effective and safest centrifuge possible consider the following tips to help get a centrifuge that will be both easy to use and helpful for your medical practice.

1. Safety is a critical factor to consider when purchasing a centrifuge. Check the specifications before purchasing to ensure that the centrifuge meets regulated safety standards.

2. Consider purchasing a centrifuge with a securely interlocking lid that either shuts off the unit's motor when the lid is opened or keeps the lid latched until the rotor has stopped. In addition, an inner protective cover over the rotor assembly is recommended, as well as a displayed alert not to open the centrifuge while the rotor is spinning.

3. The visual indicators located on the centrifuge should be clear and easily readable.

4. It is recommended to have audible alarms for important conditions such as device malfunction, rotor imbalance, open lid, and end-of-run or cycle.

5. Centrifuges with brushless motors are preferred as they require less maintenance than the traditional motors.

6. To avoid overspending on a unit and paying for unnecessary features, facilities should try and correlate cell washing centrifuge features with their current and anticipated laboratory needs. On the other hand they should not be purchasing a cheaper model that cannot handle the laboratory workload or that is inadequate for certain procedures.
