The Thermo Scientific Cytospin 4 Centrifuge is a low speed centrifuge used
to separate and deposit a monolayer of cells on slides while maintaining
cellular integrity. The Thermo Scientific Cytospin 4 Centrifuge deposits cells onto a clearly defined area of a glass slide and allows the residual fluid into the sample chamber's filter card.The Cytospin 4 processes 12 specimens at one time and accepts all protocols from previous models (Cytospin 1, 2, and 3). The redesigned lid-release allows for one handed opening and closing for easy access of the outer lid. The Thermo Scientific Cytospin 4 Centrifuge offers a speed range of between 200 and 2000 RPM and protected program memory stores up to 23 routines for instant recall and protects from power loss.
The Thermo Scientific Cytospin 4 Centrifuge is most commonly used in life
science applications for hematology, cytology, histology, oncology,
rheumatology, immunochemistry, microbiology, serology, and virology.
All of our equipment is fully tested to perform at factory
specifications before being shipped.

- Verify that the power supply outputs correct voltage levels to all internal components.
- Measure voltages at PCB test points to confirm accurate power delivery and circuit integrity.
- Confirm rotor compatibility and that rotor detection systems accurately identify rotor type (if applicable).
- Examine the exterior for cosmetic or structural damage that could impact performance or safety.
- Check the door mechanism for secure and smooth opening and closing, addressing any alignment issues.
- Inspect and replace the gas strut with a new OEM part to maintain proper door support and safety.
- Examine the rotor chamber bowl for any dents or damage, replacing if necessary to ensure safe operation.
- Replace all lid lock switches and verify full functionality to maintain secure closure.
- Inspect and lubricate the door lock mechanism, applying grease to the lid lock rail for smooth operation.
- Confirm the compressor operates correctly and maintains consistent temperature control (if applicable).
- Conduct an 8-12 hour cycle test to validate continuous, reliable performance under prolonged use.
- Verify rotor motor stability and check for unusual noise or mechanical issues during operation.
- Inspect and clear the condensation drain to prevent moisture buildup in the rotor chamber.
- Confirm RPM accuracy using an NIST-traceable tachometer, calibrating as necessary.
- Check the centrifuge error log to confirm zero recorded issues, ensuring system reliability.
