Centrifuges - Haematocrit

A laboratory haematocrit centrifuge is a specialised device used to separate blood components for diagnostic and research purposes. By rapidly spinning blood samples at high speeds, the centrifuge generates a centrifugal force that causes the heavier components, such as red blood cells, to settle at the bottom of the tube. This process effectively separates the blood into its constituent layers, allowing for accurate measurement of hematocrit levels—an essential indicator of overall blood health and various medical conditions. Typically used in clinical labs and research settings, this centrifuge provides precise and reliable results, aiding in the diagnosis and monitoring of hematological disorders.
