Microhaematocrit centrifuges are compact, electrically-powered devices designed to separate red blood cells from plasma in small blood samples. Clinically, they measure the haematocrit—a key indicator of red blood cell concentration—helping diagnose conditions like anemia, polycythemia, or dehydration by providing precise, rapid results.
These devices are typically classified as in vitro diagnostics (IVDs) and regulated under medical device laws, often requiring compliance with standards for accuracy and safety. They are commonly supplied as standalone units for laboratory or point-of-care use, with some models offering portability for field testing.
