The New Cellsep 6/720R is a high capacity centrifuge
specifically designed to meet the needs of those requiring
high throughput along with sophisticated control. This makes
it an especially useful tool in the blood processing
environment, though it is also well suited to research
laboratories where large numbers of tubes may be centrifuged.
Induction Drive with CADM
The Cellsep comes with a powerful, maintenance free direct
drive induction motor system as standard. This provides
powerful acceleration and braking to suit all applications. In
conjunction with the direct drive system, the Cellsep includes
CADM – Cruciform Aided Damping Mechanism. This system absorbs
any vibration as the rotor passes through its critical speeds,
thus ensuring smooth passage reducing the likelihood of cell
re–suspension on braking. There is also an additional
counterweight attached to the underside of the motor which
again enhances rotor stability on braking as the rotor passes
through its critical speeds, thus providing one of the
smoothest blood banking centrifuges on the market.
-
- Ramp and Dwell Facility
- Using the ramp and dwell facility, the operator can
program up to 8 different settings including speed,
temperature, time, acceleration and brake rate in a single
run. This is especially useful in sensitive separations,
such as those used in blood processing for separating
platelets from whole blood. For example, the blood can be
spun at a low initial speed, accelerating to a higher speed
for a short period of time followed by rapid braking to a
pre–set speed, which can then be followed by gentle braking
to avoid sample re–suspension. As it can be time consuming
to enter all the parameters of each run, there is a 50
program memory so that all data can be stored and retrieved
for repeated applications.
- Automatic Rotor Identification System
- The Cellsep comes as standard with ARIS (automatic rotor
identification system) which identifies the rotor once it
starts turning. This has the dual benefit of allowing the
operator to control the centrifuge in terms of ‘g’ force and
has the added protection of preventing the user setting a
rotor speed higher than that permitted for any rotor – a
common cause of failure in older centrifuges.

- Reliable and Accurate
- For optimal performance and long life it is important
that key components operate well within their design
specification. For this reason, a powerful drive motor
provides rapid acceleration and braking well within its
capabilities thus providing optimal performance and long
life durability. The same can be said of the refrigeration
system. A powerful compressor provides cooling via 2 cooling
coils around the centrifuge bowl to give rapid and uniform
cooling when required. A twin fan condenser aids heat
removal from the centrifuge thus improving cooling
efficiency.
An additional benefit of the induction drive
system is that the motor speed, including acceleration and
braking, can be controlled very accurately regardless of
load. This ensures repeatability every time a programme is
run for a set time. Alternatively the operator can elect to
use the standard integrator which can be set in 'g’ seconds
and will govern the time of the run to give a total
cumulative ‘g’ force, taking into consideration the
acceleration and braking profiles.
- Safety Features
- MSE have always prided themselves on customer safety and
the Cellsep proves to be no exception. The microprocessor
controlled self diagnostic system monitors all safety
circuits including imbalance and refrigeration. Any failure
results in automatic shutdown with visual and audible alarms
to alert the operator.

- Wide Range of Accessories Available
- The Cellsep has a wide range of accessories available
for use in both the blood bank and the research environment.
Most accessories are designed around the 6 x 1000ml
windshielded swing out rotor. For blood processing there is
the choice of oval buckets which take a range of adaptors to
suit most manufacturers’ blood bags, including SAGM and top
and bottom bags. For the research environment the round
sealed buckets can be supplied with a wide range of adaptors
to suit most manufacturers’ tubes. For none standard
adaptors contact MSE directly.
