Thermo Scientific CytoSpin 4 Cytocentrifuge, 12 Specimens, Thermo Scientific (CAT#: STEM-LCPO-0044-LGZ)

Thermo Scientific's Cytospin 4 Cytocentrifuge (formerly Shandon's Cytospin) is the ultimate system for thin-layer cell preparation. For over 40 years, this reliable instrument has been synonymous with the cytocentrifuge and is used in more than 15,000 laboratories worldwide. It provides economical thin-layer preparation from any liquid matrix, especially low-cellular fluids such as spinal fluid and urine.
The Thermo Scientific Cytospin 4 Cytocentrifuge is capable of processing up to 12 specimens at a time. Cytospin 4 accepts all the protocols of its predecessor Shandon Cytospin 1, 2 and 3. Thermo Scientific's Cytospin 4 has a redesigned lid release mechanism that allows hand opening. For your safety, the lid stays locked when rotated. Due to the polycarbonate widow, the operator can see the sealed head during cytocentrifugation.
Thermo Scientific's Cytospin 4 is resistant to accidental liquid spills on mechanisms and electronic components, and in addition, Cytospin is designed for easy sterilization and meets stringent IEC 61010 centrifuge safety standards.
A pull-out program card allows up to nine programs to be recorded for quick and easy retrieval.

Safety and reliability

Thermo Scientific Cytospin 4 is designed to protect operators before, during and after sample preparation. The ultimate safety procedure allows for easy loading of sealed heads in a microbiology cabinet. The Cytospin 4 features a self-locking mechanism in a plastic outer lid, a single-use sample chamber with a lid. Security alarms protect users and specimens during all phases of operation. Cleaning is also made easy thanks to the convenient wipe-clean control panel.

Design: Remarkable Precision and Simplicity

Simple principles for good presentations

Cytospin 4 utilizes the principle of centrifugation to deposit cells in a well-defined area on the slide and allow residual liquid to be absorbed into the filter card of the sample chamber. Thermo Scientific's Cytospin 4 cytocentrifugation process also constructively flattens cells for excellent nuclear presentation.
During operation, the rotating action of the instrument tilts the Shandong cell funnel vertically and centrifuges the cells into the deposition area of ​​the slide, giving all types of cells an equal opportunity to present. This unique tilt feature reduces cell loss by preventing residual liquid from contacting the prepared slide in the loading or stopping position.


Simple and precise control

Cytospin 4 has a protected program memory that can store up to 23 routines for instant recall. In the case of incapability, you can rest assured that your saved routines are still stored in memory.
The program keyboard has an "easy-to-touch" design that allows for easier keystrokes and a more intuitive programming process. A clearly visible speed window shows the programmed speed from 200 to 2000 rpm.
Three acceleration control buttons provide the operator with excellent flexibility and special protection for delicate samples. A simple read time window displays the programmed run time and remaining run time from 1 to 99.
There is an alternate power saving mode for the control functions, and the display is also turned on and off via an alternate key. Safety alarms include an audible alarm when the cytocentrifuge is out of balance, out of speed tolerance, or if the lid is not properly locked. Cytospin 4 will not rotate if the lid is not locked. The specimen safety alarm function reminds the user to take out the specimen every minute. This prevents the specimen from drying out and helps ensure consistent results.
