Clinical labs use static and centrifugal concentrators to prepare samples for a variety of tests. Proteins in urine need to be concentrated prior to gel and immunofixation electrophoresis for diagnosis of multiple myeloma, amyloidosis and other plasma cell disorders. Bacterial antigens in urine and fungal antibodies in serum are also concentrated to improve the sensitivity of immunoassay tests. Centrifugal ultrafiltration devices have been used to separate free drugs and hormones from those bound to serum proteins.
Vivaproducts also supplies a selection of centrifuges for use with our concentrators or for general laboratory purposes.

The Hettich Mikro 200 microliter centrifuge performs routine analytical tasks such as concentration of small forensic DNA samples easily and effectively. Small clinical samples such as urine and cerebrospinal fluid can also be processed quickly.
The Hettich Rotofix 32A is a general purpose benchtop centrifuge ideal for routine laboratory tasks. Forensic DNA samples can be concentrated easily and clinical labs can concentrate urine and spinal fluid samples quickly prior to electrophoresis.
The Hettich Rotina 380 centrifuge saves you space while spinning a large quantity of centrifuge tubes per run. The Rotina 380 is a tabletop centrifuge that can handle a moderate volume of larger Vivaspin devices for urine protein concentration.
The Hettich Rotanta 460 benchtop centrifuge is valuable in large hospital labs for urine protein concentration prior to gel or capillary electrophoresis. Its capacity is ideal for a high volume clinical reference lab processing a large quantity of Vivaspin filters.
