General-purpose centrifuge IVD

General-purpose centrifuges for in vitro diagnostics (IVD) use centrifugal force to separate components in clinical samples like blood, urine, or tissue suspensions. These devices are essential in labs for preparing specimens—such as plasma, cells, or DNA—for further diagnostic testing, often after reagent addition or temperature-sensitive processing.

These centrifuges are typically regulated as medical devices, with requirements varying by jurisdiction. They are usually supplied as standalone units with adjustable speeds and rotors, often including refrigeration for temperature-controlled procedures. Classification and compliance depend on their intended use and risk level, as defined by local medical device authorities.
