Portable centrifuge for field and lab use

The LW Scientific E8F Portafuge is a compact, fixed-speed centrifuge designed for mobile and benchtop separation tasks. It reaches 3500 RPM with an angled plastic rotor that holds eight tubes per run. The unit operates without refrigeration and uses an analog display for speed indication. It suits users who need quick spin-downs away from a full laboratory setup.

Capacity and headroom at fixed speed

The rotor accommodates eight 3 mL tubes or eight 15 mL tubes, and the package includes eight 4 mL and eight 15 mL adapters for flexible tube matching. Maximum speed is fixed at 3500 RPM, so protocols requiring variable or higher speeds cannot be run on this instrument. The 8.8 in rotor diameter sets the physical limit for tube length and bucket clearance. Buyers needing refrigerated spins or programmable profiles will need a different class of centrifuge.

Build integration and bench footprint

The centrifuge measures 11 in wide, 14.5 in deep and 9.5 in high, fitting on standard bench tops and inside portable cases. It requires a stable, level surface and access to a compatible mains supply for the fixed-speed motor. The analog display means no digital interface or software control is needed, freeing the operator from configuration steps. No cooling connections or external plumbing are required because the unit is not refrigerated.

Questions about this item

Will the E8F Portafuge fit on a bench beside my older instruments that need 14.5 inches of depth?

The unit has an overall depth of 14.5 in, so allow at least that much space plus clearance for the lid and tube loading.

How do I confirm the rotor is spinning at the correct 3500 RPM after setup?

The centrifuge runs at a fixed 3500 RPM with an analog display; verify the needle points to the 3500 mark once the motor reaches steady speed.

Which adapters and tubes are included and what must I buy separately for 15 mL samples?

The box contains the angled plastic rotor plus eight 4 mL and eight 15 mL adapters; supply your own 3 mL and 15 mL tubes.
