Blood Bank Centrifuge
Blood Bank Centrifuge
KBM 80 Plus is the new generation microprocessor controlled blood bank centrifuge with forward thinking design and technology. Ideally used for centrifugation of whole blood for components separation like packed red cells, platelet rich plasma, platelet concentrate, cryoprecipitate and buffy coat etc.
Advance manufacturing techniques are used for mounting of brushless induction drive motor in PUF insulated, corrosion free, stainless steel armored chamber, resulting in minimized vibration and noise level. The smooth acceleration / deceleration helps in clear separation thus ensuring high quality component yield.
This centrifuge cater to the requirements of small, medium & large blood centers with flexibility to choose from 2 rotor options. The rotors are designed to accommodate specific type of oval shaped metal buckets & plastic carriers for holding eight &twelve blood bags of different volumes & configuration like 350 ml / 450m1, double/ triple/ quadruple, penta begs & inhne-filter (quintuple) blood bags.
User-friendly software & controls helps in ease of operation. There is a unique facility for setting & controlling the centrifuge run either by RPM (speed) or RCF forte) thus eliminating the need of manual calculations. Interactive menu driven program guides the operator through the setting process of run parameters & also the operational status while centrifuge is running. Specially designed wing-shielded rotors reduces friction which helps in energy saving & better temperature management.

Need of Centrifuge Optimization for Quality Enhancement
Each individual centrifuge must be evaluated for the preparation of the various components.
AABB Technical Manual. 15th edition; 2005: Table 7.4.1. Centrifugation for Component Preparation; pg.827
Centrifugation Variables : Centrifugation speeds (relative centrifugal force) and times should be standardized for each piece of equipment.
AABB Technical Manual, 15th edition; 2005; General & laboratory Methods Centrifugation Variable; pg.716
High g forces are of theoretical concern because they may damage the platelets when they are forced against the wall of the container.
