Description
Properties
The Labofuge 300 is a laboratory centrifuge that is
delivered with an 8-place swinging bucket rotor
including 8 suspensions each for 7 ml and 15 ml
respectively. With this combination, commercially
available blood sampling and glass tubes can be
centrifuged.
!
The user-friendly "Easycontrol" control panel per-
mits easy preselection of speed and run time.
You can change the set values even during a run.
The maintenance-free induction motor provides
quiet and vibration-free operation even at high
speeds and warrants an extremely long lifetime.
