Low Speed Centrifuge LLS-E11

The Labtron LLS-E11 supports multiple tube sizes and formats through the use of interchangeable rotors or tube adapters. Standard sizes such as 5 mL, 10 mL, and 15 mL are commonly supported, but custom adapters can often be used for other formats. This flexibility allows users to adapt the centrifuge to a wide range of sample types and volumes. Proper balancing of tubes by both weight and volume is essential to maintain smooth operation and avoid mechanical strain. The ability to switch between tube types enhances the centrifuge’s versatility and utility in multi-purpose laboratories.

The Labtron LLS-E11 is typically powered by a brushless DC motor, which offers several advantages over traditional brushed motors. Brushless motors are more energy-efficient, produce less noise, and require minimal maintenance due to the absence of physical brushes that wear out over time. They provide smooth and stable operation, reducing the likelihood of mechanical vibration and contributing to the overall durability of the instrument. Furthermore, brushless motors generate less heat, which helps protect thermally sensitive samples. Their precise speed control enhances the accuracy of centrifugation protocols, making them ideal for both research and clinical use.

Yes, Labtron’s LLS-E11 is designed for easy cleaning and low maintenance. Its internal chamber and rotor are constructed from corrosion-resistant materials that can be wiped down with mild detergent and water. Removable rotors and tube holders make it easy to clean hard-to-reach areas. Routine maintenance involves inspecting the rotor for cracks or corrosion, ensuring that the lid lock functions properly, and checking for debris in the chamber. Because the centrifuge uses a brushless motor, there is no need to replace motor brushes, reducing the overall maintenance workload. Proper care and regular cleaning can significantly extend the lifespan of the instrument.

Labtron’s LLS-E11 is widely used in clinical and research laboratories for a variety of applications. These include blood component separation (e.g., plasma, serum), urine sedimentation analysis, protein precipitation, cell pelleting, and general sample clarification. It is also employed in food safety testing, environmental monitoring, and veterinary diagnostics. Its gentle yet effective spinning action makes it particularly useful for handling fragile samples that could be damaged by high-speed centrifugation. In academic settings, it is used for teaching basic principles of centrifugal force and separation techniques.
