The ELMI CM-6MT-9 clinical centrifuge is a variable-speed benchtop centrifuge with a maximum speed of 3,500 rpm. This centrifuge comes with a rotor that accepts up to six 50mL tubes (sold separately), and is compatible with four swing-out rotors. It has a digital display and controls for setting program parameter values, and its timer is settable to 99 minutes. The centrifuge automatically stops when glass lid opens or if rotor becomes imbalanced for increased safety.
It accepts 100-240V, 50/60Hz input power. This benchtop centrifuge is non-refrigerated.

A centrifuge is used to spin fluids of different densities to separate various parts, commonly blood and DNA samples. Centrifuges are composed of the main body or housing and a spinning rotor. Tubes of cellular material suspended in liquid are inserted into the rotor and spun at various speeds to separate components. Centrifuges are used in medical, industrial, and research laboratories, as well as academic and clinical settings.
ELMI manufactures laboratory equipment such as centrifuges, rotators, and thermostatic shakers. The company, founded in 1989, is headquartered in Riga, Latvia.
