Buying guides, product comparisons, price estimates, and sourcing advice specific to centrifuges. Neutral, procurement-literate research with sources.
*New medical and research centrifuges range from $240 to $150,000+, depending on type, speed, and capacity. Hospital labs typically spend $5,000–$30,000 for clinical-grade benchtop models; ultracentrifuges exceed $50,000. Used and refurbished units cut acquisition costs by 50–70%
Centrifuges are sample-handling instruments that use centrifugal force to separate substances of differing densities — most commonly blood components (plasma, serum, buffy coat), urine sediment, cell pellets, and nucleic acid preparations. Buyers range from physician office labs and ASCs (low-speed clinical units) to hospital core labs, blood banks, and research/biopharma facilities (refrigerated, high-speed, and ultracentrifuges). With relative centrifugal forces (RCFs) in the thousands, these instruments provide advanced processing capabilities for research facilities, clinical settings and industrial laboratories, and a benchtop centrifuge's precision, reliability and compact size are ideal for an extensive range of laboratory applications.
The six vendors in this listing cover a wide range of organizational types. Some sell capital equipment. Some supply reagents. One is a contract laboratory. Knowing which type you're dealing with will save you time before you ever request a quote.
