In the world of medical and scientific laboratories, optimal efficiency and accurate results are crucial. Laboratory equipment plays a vital role in such fields and one of the most important devices is the centrifuge. Today, our focus will be on the various models of the prestigious Kalstein centrifuges: YR019-TG, YR142-3, YR142-3-1, YR0137-2 and YR0137-3.
The Power of Speed and Capacity: Model YR019-TG
The YR019-TG model from Kalstein’s range of laboratory centrifuges is a powerful combination of speed and capacity. This model boasts a fast maximum speed of 19,000 revolutions per minute (r/min), outperforming many other centrifuges available on the market. Added to this is its maximum relative centrifugal force (RCF) of 24,540g, which ensures fast and efficient sample separation.
But speed is not everything. The YR019-TG also excels in its maximum capacity. It can hold up to 750 ml in each of its four wells, which is ideal for laboratories that process a high volume of samples. In addition, this model is equipped with a brushless, carbon-free, direct current (DC) motor, which ensures quiet operation of less than 65dB(A) and a timer range of 0 to 99 minutes. https://www.kalstein.nl/product/tabletop-high-speed-centrifuge-yr019-tg/
Versatile Gel Card Centrifuge: Models YR142-3 and YR142-3-1
Kalstein’s gel card centrifuge offers two models with features to suit different working needs. The YR142-3 can accommodate up to 12 six-column microgel cards, while the YR142-3-1 model can accommodate twice as many, or 24 cards, making it an excellent choice for laboratories with large volumes of protein or DNA/RNA mixtures to be separated.
The maximum speed of these models is 2200r/min and 2000r/min respectively sponsoring a maximum centrifugal force of 540g. With a speed accuracy of ± 30r/min and an adjustable time from 1min to 90min, these models allow meticulous control over the centrifugation process. https://www.kalstein.nl/product/gel-card-centrifuge-yr142-3-yr142-3-1/
Compact and Powerful: Models YR0137-2 and YR0137-3.
The YR0137-2 and YR0137-3 models in Kalstein’s line of laboratory centrifuges are compact yet robust options for laboratories. With an astonishing maximum speed of 20,500 r/min and a maximum RCF of 29,200 xg, these units ensure fast and effective separation of any type of sample.
These models can hold up to 750 ml in each of their four housings, as can the YR019-TG, and have a speed accuracy of ± 50r/min. The time setting offers a range from 1 minute to 99 hours and 59 minutes for the YR0137-2 model and up to 99 minutes for the YR0137-3 model, allowing ample flexibility when handling long centrifugation processes. These features make the YR0137-2 and YR0137-3 models a favorite for laboratories requiring high precision and versatility. https://www.kalstein.nl/product/tabletop-high-speed-centrifuge-yr0137-2-yr0137-3/
Noise: A Factor to Consider
When considering the use of a laboratory centrifuge, it is important to consider the noise level. All Kalstein models promise a noise level below 65dB(A), which promotes a quieter and less disruptive working environment. Whether you are working with the YR019-TG, the YR142-3 or YR142-3-1 gel card centrifuge, or the YR0137-2 and YR0137-3 models, you can expect high quality performance with minimal noise.
