The Shandon Cytospin 3 centrifuge is a versatile and reliable cytocentrifuge which is ideal suited for applications inclusing hematology, oncology, cytology, rheumatology, virology, microbiology and immunochemistry. The Shandon Cytospin III was the first centrifuge to use low-speed centrifugal forces to separate and deposit monolayer of cells on slides, the Cytospin 3 centrifuge helps maintain cellular integrity.

 

The Shandon Cytospin 3 Centrifuge offers excellent preparations. As the centrifuge produces a monolayer of cells within a clearly defined area, the cytofunnels load in a tilted position to prevent cell loss. They also move to an upright position during operation to deposit cells. Additionally, the Cytospin 3 is equipped with a sealed head protects the user from the danger of aerosoling pathogenic samples. Within the safety of a microbiological cabinet, the cytoclips load and unload easily without contact with the sample.

 

Simultaneously spinning up to 24 samples in 12 chambers, this Shandon centrifuge uses microtitre strips. A truly flexible instrument, the Cytospin 3 centrifuge has disposable sample chambers which are available in sizes to match the collection requirements of a wide range of samples.

 

The Shandon Cytospin 3 centrifuge is useful in application areas such as hematology, oncology, cytology, histology, rheumatology, virology, serology, microbiology, and immunochemistry. Other features of the Cytospin 3 include: 9-program memory, programmable acceleration speeds (200-2,000 rpm) that ensure protection of all cell types, and disposable chamber compatibility of various sizes to accommodate a wide range of samples.
