1. Is the SERVOspin Evolve suitable for PRP?
Yes, the SERVOspin Evolve is a medical device (IVDR, class A) and is designed for sample and plasma preparation. It is therefore suitable for PRP workflows according to tube and protocol specifications. Important: This is not a therapy statement, but is intended for use in the context of sample preparation.
2. How many tubes fit into the centrifuge?
The 54° angle rotor supplied holds 6 tubes of 15 ml each. Smaller tubes can also be used with adapters.
3. What speed does the centrifuge reach?
The SERVOspin Evolve offers a speed of 300 to 5000 rpm (in 10 rpm increments). The maximum relative centrifugal force (RCF) is 2,600 g.
4. How loud is the SERVOspin Evolve?
At approx. 56 dB, the centrifuge is significantly quieter than many comparable models. This also makes it suitable for use directly in practice rooms.
5. Is the operation complicated?
No. The centrifuge has a digital time and speed preselection, an RCF display and two program memories. This means that standard protocols can be easily stored and called up at any time.
6. What security functions are integrated?
- Electronic lid lock
- Unbalance control to prevent vibrations
- Internal diagnosis before starting
- Emergency opening in the event of a power failure
7. What advantages does the SERVOspin Evolve offer specifically for PRP workflows?
Protocol fidelity: RCF directly readable and adjustable
Reproducible results: constant separation of plasma
Flexibility: can be used for different tube sizes with adapters
Compact format: ideal for use close to the patient in surgeries
8. Is it a medical device?
Yes, as a low-speed centrifuge, the SERVOspin Evolve is a medical device in accordance with IVDR (EU) 2017/746, Class A.
9. Who may use the centrifuge?
It is intended for use by medical professionals only.
10. What guarantee is there?
The SERVOspin Evolve comes with a 24-month warranty.
11. How is the centrifuge cleaned and maintained?
- Clean with a mild detergent and soft cloth
- Do not use aggressive chemicals
- Check the rotor and rotor chamber regularly for residues
- Recommended: annual inspection by an authorized service technician
12. Can I also use the centrifuge for other applications?
Yes, the centrifuge is suitable for separating biological samples in everyday laboratory and practice work. In addition to PRP, blood serum or urine samples, for example, can be processed - always within the scope of the approved purpose.
