Thermo Shandon Cytospin 3 Centrifuge

Features

• Tailored to function as a high-precision cell preparation system using centrifugal force for depositing cells onto slides
• Optimal cellular integrity maintenance ensures cells remain intact during the preparation process
• Easy to use cytoclips facilitate loading and unloading of samples without direct contact
• Stores up to nine programs, optimizing operational efficiency and user experience
• Durable metal housing comprises a two-part construction with a sprung bowl enclosure for the rotor assembly
• Touch sensitive control panel ensures easy control with a front-mounted membrane-type interface and associated displays

The Thermo Shandon Cytospin 3 is a low speed centrifuge used to separate and deposit a monolayer of cells on slides while maintaining cellular integrity. Cytofunnels load in a titled position preventing cell loss. The sealed cover protects the user from exposure to aerosoling pathogenic samples. Cytoclips load and unload easily without contact with samples. The Shandon Cytospin 3 offers a speed range of between 200 and 2000 RPM and has a holding capacity of up to 24 samples in 12 chambers. For optimized user experience, the Shandon Cytospin 3 features the ability to store up to nine centrifugal run modes to help increase overall efficiency.

The Thermo Shandon Cytospin 3 is most commonly used in life science applications for hematology, cytology, histology, oncology, rheumatology, immunochemistry, microbiology, serology, and virology.

All of our equipment is fully tested to perform at factory specifications before being shipped.

Centrifuge Inspection and Recertification Checklist

• Confirm the power supply output voltages match specified requirements for stable distribution to all internal components
• Measure and verify voltages at PCB test points to ensure accurate power delivery and circuit integrity
• Confirm rotor compatibility with the centrifuge model and check that rotor detection systems recognize the rotor type
• Inspect the exterior for any cosmetic or structural damage that could affect performance or safety
• Check the door mechanism alignment to ensure secure and smooth opening and closing
• Inspect and replace the gas strut with an OEM part to maintain proper door support and safety
• Examine the rotor chamber bowl for dents or damage and replace as needed to ensure safe operation
• Replace and confirm full functionality of all lid lock switches to maintain secure closure
• Inspect and lubricate the door lock mechanism, applying grease to the lid lock rail for smooth operation
• Test compressor functionality (if applicable) to ensure proper operation and consistent temperature control
• Conduct an 8-12 hour cycle test to validate consistent performance over prolonged use
• Confirm rotor motor stability, check for unusual noise, and assess mechanical integrity during operation
• Inspect the condensation drain and clear any clogs to prevent moisture buildup in the rotor chamber
• Verify RPM accuracy using an NIST-traceable tachometer and perform calibration as necessary
• Check the centrifuge error log to ensure zero recorded issues, confirming system reliability
