Our Testing Process
1. Centrifuge technician pre-tests the unit’s (1) speed sometimes to maximum speed for a few minutes, (2) refrigeration (if equipped), (3) spinning if they spin up and spin down properly, (4) checks the buttons, switches, timers if they are all working. Necessary parts for repair are ordered.
2. Once any parts come in for the unit, or they’re working, the centrifuge technician performs any necessary repairs.
3. The centrifuge technician runs the unit to maximum RPMs for a minimum of 1 hour while observing the refrigeration performance (if applicable). During this step, loud/unusual noises, smells, and extra heat build up are observed.
4. The centrifuge technician also observes the proper performance of sensors like temperature, vacuum (if equipped), rotor sensors, tach sensors, latch sensors, etc.
5. After a full hour run, the centrifuge technician takes a photo of the centrifuge display to be shown in the listing photos on New Life Scientific’s e-commerce platforms.
6. The centrifuge technician then does a thorough look over throughout the centrifuge to identify anything that is missing, loose, or damaged. The centrifuge technician follows New Life Scientific’s Centrifuge Technician Checklist at this time to make sure everything is checked accordingly.
7. The refrigeration condenser and chassis cleaned are both handled by blowing out the unit with compressed air or dry ice blasting.
8. Sensors are cleaned and/or re-installed with proper gap. Electrical connections are latched and tightened down properly.
9. Drive mounts, drive brushes, gas springs are checked and replaced, if necessary.
10. The centrifuge is then cleaned and if needed, painted as well, to make sure the unit comes out as standard as we can.

Our Centrifuge Technician Checklist
After our centrifuge technician finishes the initial testing process, this Centrifuge Technician Checklist is filled out to record the important information gathered throughout the repair process. This checklist will be available publicly after the unit has undergone tech completion and is ready for the customers.
Floor Centrifuge Applications
- Cell Biology and Biochemistry - The centrifuge is commonly used for harvesting cells from cultures in bioprocessing, cell culture studies, and in research applications. It aids in separating proteins from other cellular components in studies related to biochemistry. It also helps isolate and concentrate RNA or DNA from biological samples.
- Pharmaceutical Development - In drug delivery research, this helps in studying the encapsulation and release of drugs in nano particles or liposomes. The centrifuge also helps in vaccine production in terms of concentrating and purifying vaccine components.
- Food Science - Extraction and purification of enzymes for food processing applications. Separating lipids for nutritional and food quality studies.
- Environmental Science - In water sample analysis, the centrifuge can help concentrate microorganisms or contaminants for environmental monitoring.
- Blood Component Separation - Isolates plasma, platelets, and red blood cells for clinical research and transfusion purposes.
