Gain all the advantages of the ultimate thin-layer cell preparation system with the Cytospin 4 Cytocentrifuge.
Key Specifications
Features:
Processes 12 specimens at one time.
Accepts all protocols from Cytospin 1, 2 and 3.
Allows for one-handed opening and closing with a redesigned lid-release mechanism.
Enables viewing of the sealed head through the polycarbonate window during operation.
Protects mechanical and electronic components from damage due to accidental fluid spills.
Designed for easy disinfection.
Meets stringent IEC 61010 safety standards.
Protects Users and Specimens:
Allows loading of the sealed head inside a microbiological cabinet for ultimate safety.
Features an auto-locking, plastic outer lid.
Operates only when lid is locked and keeps lid locked during rotation.
Includes disposable sample chambers with caps and a wipe-clean control panel.
Sounds an audible alarm when the cytocentrifuge is out of balance, outside the speed tolerance or if the lid is not properly locked.
Uses specimen safety alarms at one-minute intervals to remind users to remove specimens to prevent air drying and ensure consistent results.
Provides Excellent Presentation:
The cytocentrifuge deposits cells onto a clearly defined area of a glass slide and allows for the absorption of the residual fluid into the sample chamber's filter card.
Cytocentrifugation constructively flattens cells for excellent nuclear presentation.
During operation, the instrument's spinning action tilts the Shandon™ Cytofunnels™ upright and centrifuges cells onto the deposition area of the slide, giving all cell types equal opportunity for presentation.
In the Load or Stop position, the tilting feature reduces cell loss by preventing residual fluid from coming into contact with the prepared slide.
Offers Simple and Precise Controls:
Pull-out program card logs up to nine programs for fast, convenient retrieval.
Protected program memory stores up to 23 routines for instant recall and protects from power loss.
Easy-touch program keypad allows for easier keystrokes and more intuitive programming.
Speed window displays programmed spinning speeds from 200 to 2000rpm.
Three acceleration-control buttons allow the operator the flexibility to protect fragile samples.
Time window displays the programmed and remaining run time from 1 to 99.
Control feature has a standby power-saving mode; displays are also turned on and off by the standby key.
