Bio-Rad ID-Centrifuge L Manual Immunohematology and Tube Centrifuge with Autodetection

The Bio-Rad ID-Centrifuge L is a specialized manual centrifuge designed for *immunohematology* and standard sample processing, integrating gel card and traditional tube centrifugation into a single instrument. This next-generation device supports diverse laboratory workflows essential in molecular diagnostics, bioprocessing, and clinical hematology.

• Four interchangeable heads enable processing of gel cards, ID-cards, and glass or plastic sample tubes.
• Automatic detection of head type optimizes centrifugation parameters, ensuring standardized and reproducible results.
• Dedicated gel card centrifugation programs (5–10 min at 85g) eliminate shipping artifacts like air bubbles and splashes, enhancing assay reliability.
• Sample tube centrifuge head supports up to 12 tubes with centrifugation speeds reaching a maximum relative centrifugal force (RCF) of 1,000g, suitable for a variety of tube sizes and materials.
• Programmable centrifugation profiles include 8 customizable and 2 pre-configured settings, allowing flexible operation tailored to specific protocols.
• User-friendly colored touchscreen interface with intuitive icons simplifies operation, reducing user error in clinical and research environments.
• Compact footprint (380 x 230 x 500 mm) and moderate weight (13 kg) facilitate placement in constrained benchtop spaces.

This centrifuge is widely adopted in synthetic biology research, biomedical engineering, and molecular cloning workflows, where precise and flexible centrifugation is critical. Its unique ability to combine gel card and tube centrifugation makes it an essential tool for laboratories demanding reliable sample preparation and immunohematology analysis within biopharmaceutical production pipelines and clinical diagnostics.
