Refrigerated Centrifuge
High-speed precision for optimal component separation.
System Overview
The backbone of any component lab. These heavy-duty refrigerated centrifuges spin blood bags at immense speeds while maintaining cold temperatures, effectively separating whole blood into RBCs, Plasma, and Platelets.
High Throughput
Process up to 12 blood bags simultaneously in a single run.
Wind-Shielded Rotor
Reduces air friction, keeping samples cooler and saving energy.
Safety First
Automatic imbalance detection and motorized lid lock.
Key Features
- Microprocessor-controlled system with programmable acceleration/deceleration profiles.
- Brushless induction drive motor requires zero maintenance.
- Refrigeration system allows pre-cooling of the chamber before the run.
- Stores up to 99 customized programs for different separation protocols.
- Heavy steel armor casing ensures maximum operator safety.

What Is a Refrigerated Centrifuge?
A high-speed, temperature-controlled centrifuge that spins collected whole blood bags to separate them into red cells, plasma, and platelets.
Use In a Blood Bank
Used in the component preparation area immediately after collection, to separate whole blood into individual components for separate storage, testing, and issue.
Buying Checklist
- Bag capacity per run matches your daily collection volume
- Programmable speed/time profiles for different component protocols
- Imbalance detection and motorised lid lock for safety
- Refrigeration range suitable for platelet-rich plasma separation
- Local service support for motor and rotor maintenance
NABH / NACO Relevance
Component separation protocols — spin speed, time, and temperature — directly affect platelet and plasma yield and quality. NABH-accredited blood banks are expected to follow and document validated, repeatable centrifuge programs.
Kell BioTech Software Integration
Component yield from each centrifuge run can be recorded directly against the originating donation in Kell BioTech, so every PRBC, FFP, and platelet unit produced traces back to its source donor and collection record.
FAQs
How many blood bags can a refrigerated centrifuge process at once?
Most blood bank models handle 6 to 12 bags per run, depending on rotor size and model.
Why does the centrifuge need refrigeration?
Spinning generates heat, and components like platelets are temperature-sensitive — refrigeration keeps the blood cool throughout the spin cycle.
Does Kell BioTech track which units came from which centrifuge run?
Yes, component separation records can be linked to the donation and the resulting component units for full traceability.
