Corning Announces New Compact Centrifuge

Corning Incorporated today announced the new Corning® LSE™ compact centrifuge for use in a variety of industrial and clinical applications, including sedimentation of urine and blood samples. The new model uses minimal benchtop space, offers variable speeds, and accommodates both 15 mL and 50 mL centrifuge tubes, blood tubes, and microcentrifuge tubes. The product enables researchers to use one centrifuge for multiple applications as needed.

“Time, laboratory space and resources are limited, and today’s researchers are trying to do more with less without sacrificing quality,” said Robb D’Amore, director channel, brand, and marketing, Corning Life Sciences. “Our new compact centrifuge is the ideal extension to our existing line of LSE centrifuges, providing the added flexibility for researchers who need to perform a wide spectrum of general purpose applications. The introduction of this product demonstrates Corning’s commitment to expanding our LSE line of laboratory instrumentation.

The Corning LSE compact centrifuge is complementary to Corning’s existing centrifuge products and is currently available in a small 28x37x26 cm footprint. The centrifuge has three angle rotors that are each sold separately. The 15 mL rotor has a capacity for 12 round and conical bottom tubes, the 50 mL rotor holds six round and conical bottom tubes, and the third angle rotor accepts 18 x 1.5/2.0 mL microcentrifuge tubes. The LSE compact centrifuge will also accommodate a swing-out rotor for 6 x 5 mL tubes.

Additional Features:

• Large digital display control panel and a convenient turn knob for setting parameter values
• Speed range from 200 rpm to 6,000 rpm with ten levels of acceleration and deceleration
• Electronic lid lock system, overspeed protection, and an automatic shut off imbalance-detection system
• Cold-room compatible

Corning Life Sciences continually brings new and innovative laboratory technologies to researchers worldwide and helps customers succeed by providing innovative, high-quality products and services in the areas of polymer science, biochemistry and molecular biology, laboratory glass fabrication, surface modification, and characterization science.
