Buyer decision support
The LC-04C, LC-04L and LC-05C are compact benchtop low speed centrifuges for separating serum and plasma in 5–20 ml tubes. All three have stepless speed adjustment, a 0–99 min timer, a brushless motor, over-speed and imbalance alarms, error code display with speed up and down adjustment and a 110 V 60 Hz / 220 V 50 Hz supply. The LC-04C runs at 4000 rpm with a maximum RCF of 2325 ×g; its standard Rotor 1 takes 20 ml × 12, and rotors for 20 ml × 6, 20 ml × 8, 15 ml × 18, 10 ml × 12 and 5 ml × 12 Eppendorf tubes (1790 ×g) are offered. It has a strong plastic case with a metal lid, a mechanical door lock and safety switch, an LED display of speed and time, 280 × 310 × 265 mm and 9 kg. The LC-04L has the same 4000 rpm and 2325 ×g with a 20 ml × 12 standard rotor and 20 ml × 8, 15 ml × 18 and 5 ml × 12 options, but adds touch panel control, an LCD showing speed, RCF and time and automatic stop when the lid is opened, in a 320 × 340 × 280 mm, 9 kg plastic case. The LC-05C reaches 5000 rpm and 3600 ×g in the LC-04C cabinet, with microprocessor control, a 20 ml × 8 standard rotor and 20 ml × 6, 20 ml × 12, 15 ml × 18 and 10 ml × 12 options, and weighs 10 kg. Choose the LC-05C when your protocols need more than 2325 ×g; the LC-04L for a touch panel with RCF display; the LC-04C for routine 4000 rpm work with the widest rotor list.
| Decision factor | Published for this model | Confirm before order |
|---|---|---|
| Speed, force and timer | LC-04C: max 4000 rpm; max RCF 2325 ×g. LC-04L: 4000 rpm; 2325 ×g. LC-05C: 5000 rpm; 3600 ×g. All: stepless speed adjustment; timer 0–99 min | Check the RCF stated in your separation protocols; if you need more than 2325 ×g, compare the LC-05C. |
| Rotors and capacity | LC-04C: standard Rotor 1 20 ml × 12; Rotor 2 20 ml × 6; Rotor 3 20 ml × 8; Rotor 4 15 ml × 18; Rotor 5 10 ml × 12; Rotor 6 Eppendorf tube 5 ml × 12 (1790 ×g); all at 4000 rpm. LC-04L: standard 20 ml × 12; options 20 ml × 8, 15 ml × 18 (2325 ×g) and Eppendorf tube 5 ml × 12 (1790 ×g). LC-05C: standard 20 ml × 8 (3600 ×g); options 20 ml × 6 (2760 ×g), 20 ml × 12, 15 ml × 18, 10 ml × 12 (3600 ×g) | List your tube sizes so we can confirm which rotors are included in the quotation and which are extras, and ask for the maximum RCF of each LC-04C rotor you plan to order. |
| Control and display | LC-04C: LED display of speed and time; error code display; speed up and down adjustment. LC-04L: touch panel control; LCD display of speed, RCF and time; error code display. LC-05C: microprocessor control; LED display of speed and time; error code display | Choose the LC-04L if you want RCF shown on the display; ask whether speed can be entered as RCF on the model you choose. |
| Lid and safety | All: over-speed and imbalance alarm. LC-04C and LC-05C: mechanical door lock and safety switch; strong plastic case with metal lid. LC-04L: automatic stop once the lid is opened; strong plastic case | Ask for the imbalance tolerance, the error-code list and the recommended rotor inspection interval. |
| Power, size and weight | All: 110 V 60 Hz / 220 V 50 Hz. LC-04C: 280 × 310 × 265 mm, 9 kg. LC-04L: 320 × 340 × 280 mm, 9 kg. LC-05C: 280 × 310 × 265 mm, 10 kg | State your mains voltage, frequency and plug type. |
