Manual Centrifuge
Product Code : LSK-CL-11276
Manual Centrifuge (SKU LSK-CL-11276) is a hand-operated centrifuge with a swing-out rotor that spins four 15 ml conical tubes in aluminium buckets, reaching a maximum shaft speed of 3000 rpm. It clamps to a bench top and runs without electricity, so it suits sediment separation in school biology, college and medical laboratory technology practicals where mains power is limited. Science Lab Supplies quotes it from Ambala, India, for schools, colleges, institutes, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
The table records each specification of the hand-operated centrifuge. In short, a dismountable aluminium gear mechanism on an aluminium base drives a swing-out rotor with four aluminium buckets for 15 ml conical tubes at up to 3000 rpm, and a bench clamp with an adaptable screw fixes it to tops 0–40 mm thick.

Applications and Experiments for the Manual Centrifuge
The centrifuge separates solids from liquid by spinning tubes by hand, so it works wherever there is a bench to clamp it to. For buyers comparing a laboratory centrifuge in India for schools, field stations or training labs without steady power, it covers basic sedimentation practicals in biology and medical laboratory technology.
- Class 11–12 biology and chemistry: showing how centrifugal force settles a precipitate or suspension.
- DMLT training: separating urine sediment, which can then be examined under a microscope beneath a Cover Glass Slide.
- Spinning samples in 15 ml conical tubes; the Screw Cap Conic Tube comes in a graduated 15 ml size, so check its fit in the buckets before use.
- Demonstrating why opposite buckets must carry equal loads.
Always load the four buckets in balanced pairs, clamp the base firmly, keep hands and hair clear of the rotor, and let it come to a full stop before removing tubes.
Standard Scope of Supply
The centrifuge is supplied as one hand-operated unit with its aluminium gear structure, aluminium base, swing-out rotor with four aluminium buckets and the bench clamp. Centrifuge tubes are separate items; conical or glass tubes can be added to the quotation in the quantity your class needs.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Quotations can be issued for a single manual centrifuge or for a batch covering every practical group in a class. Science Lab Supplies details packing, delivery time and price for the requested quantity on each quotation, and tubes or racks can sit on the same document.
As an Importer-Exporter Code holder, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Zambia, Rwanda, South Africa, Qatar, Sri Lanka and Vietnam. Pricing requests are welcome through the contact page and the enquiry cart, and the lab tender page outlines how tender enquiries are handled.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the manual centrifuge need electricity?
No. It is hand operated through an aluminium gear structure, so it can run on any sturdy bench where the clamp fits a top of 0 to 40 mm thickness, with or without a mains supply.
How many tubes can it spin at once?
The swing-out rotor carries four aluminium buckets, each taking a 15 ml conical tube, and the buckets swing out to 90° during the run. Always fill opposite buckets with equal volumes.
How fast does it turn?
The maximum shaft speed is 3000 revolutions per minute. The speed reached depends on how quickly the mechanism is turned by hand, so build up speed steadily and keep a consistent rhythm for repeatable results.
Who supplies the Manual Centrifuge?
Science Lab Supplies offers this hand-operated centrifuge from Ambala, India, to schools, colleges, institutes, tender contractors and distributors, and conical tubes, glass centrifuge tubes or racks can be added to the same quotation.
