Thermo Scientific Cytospin 4 Cytocentrifuge for Thin-Layer Cell Preparations

The Thermo Scientific Cytospin 4 is a benchtop cytocentrifuge designed for precise thin-layer cell preparations from liquid matrices, including hypocellular fluids such as urine and cerebrospinal fluid. This cytospin centrifuge processes up to 12 samples simultaneously, supporting essential workflows in molecular diagnostics, clinical pathology, and bioprocessing sample preparation.

Key features include:

• Speed range of 200 to 2000 RPM, facilitating optimized centrifugation for delicate cells and specimens
• Programmable membrane control panel with an intuitive interface to set and recall up to 9 stored programs and 23 routines, ensuring consistent reproducibility
• Spill-resistant design with a sealed polycarbonate viewing window for safe observation during operation
• Compliance with IEC 61010 safety standards, essential for clinical labs and biomanufacturing environments
• Auto-locking lid mechanism enabling one-handed operation and integration into microbiological cabinets
• Compact footprint measuring 15″ x 23″ x 10″ and lightweight (23 lb), suitable for lab benches with limited space

This cytocentrifuge is widely adopted among molecular biology researchers and clinical diagnostics laboratories as an effective tool for live-cell imaging preparation and fluorescence analysis sample processing. Its compatibility with legacy Shandon Cytospin protocols ensures seamless upgrades for existing users engaged in synthetic biology and molecular cloning workflows. Reliable for biotechnological applications requiring cellular material concentration, the Cytospin 4 supports critical bioprocessing and biomedical research operations.
