Centrifuges Repaired, Serviced & Calibrated

UK Laboratory Services Ltd offers expert repairs to lab incubators, centrifuges, and other laboratory equipment. We provide a full range of services, including calibration, preventative maintenance, and IQ, OQ, PQ verification for most types of centrifuges.

Our services ensure that your centrifuges are performing to the highest standards, guaranteeing reliability and precision in your laboratory applications.

A centrifuge is a laboratory device used to separate particles from a solution by utilising centrifugal force, which is far stronger than gravity. It works by spinning the solution at high speeds, causing denser particles to move towards the bottom of the container. This technique is vital in many fields, including biochemistry and biotechnology, where it is used to separate cell organelles, proteins, and other biological components.

There are several types of centrifuges, each serving a specific purpose:

Small Bench Centrifuges: Used for smaller samples such as yeast cells or erythrocytes.

Large Capacity Refrigerated Centrifuges: These have refrigerated rotor chambers and can handle substances that sediment quickly, such as nuclei and chloroplasts.

High-Speed Refrigerated Centrifuges: These can reach speeds of up to 60,000g, suitable for collecting microorganisms and cellular debris.

Ultra-Centrifuges: These can produce forces of up to 600,000g and are used for separating macromolecules and lipoproteins.
