1. DESCRIPTION OF THE CENTRIFUGE
1.1 General Description
The MSE Micro Centaur plus is a laboratory micro centrifuge intended for in vitro diagnostic
(IVD). Its construction ensures easy and safe operation, for a wide range of applications in
laboratories engaged in routine medical analysis and biochemical research works. It is intended
for separation of mixtures, suspensions and systemic fluids into constituents of different
densities under influence of centrifugal force. This centrifuge is an air-cooled, brush-less
instrument and therefore during centrifugation the samples should be spun in sealed containers
and sealed rotors. This centrifuge is not intended to be used to centrifuge caustic, inflammable
and explosive preparations.
