Centrifuge Range Overview
Click below to check out an overview and key features that are present in the entire Eppendorf centrifuge family.
IVD vs GLP
The GLP Eppendorf centrifuge is part of the general lab products range and is suitable for most applications.
Centrifuges with IVD certification are registered as an in vitro diagnostic medical device under the IVD Directive 98/79/EC in Europe. If your lab is involved in clinical work, then you should consider getting a centrifgue with this certification. Having this certification may come at a price premium.
Rotor Nomenclature
Rotors come in two formats - Swing out and Fixed angle. The Eppendorf nomenclature explained so you know exactly what you're getting with each rotor model.
