UNICO® PowerSpin™ Series tabletop centrifuges are
compact, economical, reliable and quiet. The UNICO fixed speed
PowerSpin™ FX (Models C806 and C808) spins at 3400 RPM, while
the variable speed LX (Models C856 and C858) spins at 300-4000
RPM, insuring a clean, complete separation of cellular components
yielding a superior serum or plasma specimen. The LX models meet
CLIA recommendations for accurate speed control; it is simply the
most economical model on the market to help your lab pass CLIA
inspections.

RPM = Revolutions Per Minute
RCF = Relative Centrifugal Force (also known as "G-Force")
Centrifuge RCF Calculation: RCF = 1.12 x R(mm) x Krpm x Krpm
R: Centrifuge rotor radius (mm)
Krpm: Centrifuge speed in thousands
Example: If rotor radius is 102mm, speed is 3.4Krpm (3400rpm), then RCF =
1.12 x 102 x 3.4 x 3.4 = 1320g
