CytoSpin* 4 Cytocentrifuge

• Processes 12 specimens at one time
• Accepts all protocols from Cytospin 1, 2, and 3
• Redesigned lid-release mechanism allows for one-handed opening and closing
• Only operates when the lid is locked into position and lid remains locked during rotation
• Polycarbonate window allows the operator to see the sealed head during cytocentrifugation
• Accidental fluid spillage will not damage the mechanical or electronic components
• Designed for easy disinfection
• Meets stringent IEC 61010 standards for centrifuge safety
• Pull-out program card allows for up to nine programs to be logged for fast and convenient retrieval

• Protects the operator before, during, and after sample preparation
• Ultimate safety procedures allow loading of the sealed head in a microbiological cabinet
• Auto-locking, plastic outer lid
• Disposable sample chambers with caps
• Safety alarms protect users and specimens
• Wipe-clean control panel

• Using centrifugal principles, the cytocentrifuge deposits cells onto a clearly defined area of a glass slide and allows for the absorption of the residual fluid into the sample chamber's filter card
• Cytocentrifugation also constructively flattens cells for excellent nuclear presentation
• During operation, the instrument's spinning action tilts the Shandon* Cytofunnels* upright and centrifuges cells onto the deposition area of the slide, giving all cell types equal opportunity for presentation
• In the Load or Stop position, this unique tilting feature reduces cell loss by preventing residual fluid from coming into contact with the prepared slide

• Protected program memory stores up to 23 routines for instant recall and protects from power loss
• Program keypad has “easy-touch” design that allows for easier keystrokes and more intuitive programming
• Speed window displays the programmed spinning speeds from 200–2000rpm
• Three acceleration control buttons allow the operator excellent flexibility and exceptional protection for fragile samples
• Time window displays the programmed and remaining run time from 1 to 99
• Control feature has a standby power-saving mode; displays are also turned on and off by the standby key
• Safety alarms include an audible alarm when the cytocentrifuge is out of balance, outside the speed tolerance, or if the lid is not properly locked
• Unit will not spin if the lid is not locked
• Specimen safety alarm feature reminds users at one-minute intervals to remove specimens, protect them from air-drying, and ensure consistent results
