Overview
The LuXiangYi TD5M is a microprocessor-controlled, benchtop high-capacity centrifuge engineered for routine and demanding separation tasks in clinical, pharmaceutical, and life science laboratories. It operates on a high-torque AC brushless frequency-converter motor, delivering stable rotational dynamics with low mechanical vibration and acoustic emission (<65 dB[A]). Designed for reproducible sedimentation of biological macromolecules—including proteins, nucleic acids, organelles, and cell suspensions—the TD5M employs fixed-angle and horizontal rotor configurations to support differential and rate-zonal centrifugation protocols. Its maximum capacity of 4 × 500 mL enables scalable processing of large-volume samples without compromising RCF uniformity or thermal stability. The system adheres to IEC 61010-1 safety standards for laboratory electrical equipment and incorporates fail-safe mechanical and electronic interlocks compliant with ISO 13485-aligned quality management frameworks.
Key Features
- AC brushless frequency-converter motor ensures precise speed control (0–6000 rpm), low maintenance, and extended service life
- Intuitive 5-inch LCD touchscreen interface with multilingual support (English, Spanish, French) and real-time rpm/RCF conversion
- 10 independently programmable acceleration/deceleration profiles to optimize pelleting integrity and minimize sample resuspension
- Electronic door lock with automatic lid interlock, overspeed protection, imbalance detection, and fault-code diagnostics
- Auto-memory function stores up to 10 user-defined protocols including speed, time, and RCF parameters
- Integrated cooling-free operation—designed for ambient temperature stability during prolonged runs (1–99 min timer range)
- Robust cast-aluminum housing with reinforced rotor chamber and vibration-damping base for consistent performance across variable floor conditions
Sample Compatibility & Compliance
The TD5M supports a broad spectrum of sample containers via interchangeable rotor systems certified for ISO 15189 and CLIA-compliant workflows. Standard configurations include horizontal rotors accommodating 4 × 500 mL bottles (4000 rpm / 3100 × g), 4 × 250 mL bottles (4300 rpm / 3582 × g), and multi-tier adapters for 15 mL, 50 mL, and 7 mL tubes. Optional 96-well microplate carriers (8 positions, 4000 rpm / 2200 × g) facilitate high-throughput ELISA and assay preparation. All rotors undergo dynamic balancing per ISO 21501-4 and are validated for sterility maintenance under GLP environments. The instrument meets electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) requirements per EN 61326-1 and carries CE marking for use within the European Economic Area.
Software & Data Management
While the TD5M operates as a standalone unit with embedded firmware, its protocol architecture supports audit-ready documentation practices essential for FDA 21 CFR Part 11–governed labs. Each run logs timestamped metadata—including actual vs. set rpm, elapsed time, rotor ID, and error codes—stored internally for retrieval via USB export. Firmware updates are delivered through secure authenticated channels and retain full backward compatibility with legacy rotor definitions. For integration into LIMS or MES platforms, optional RS-232/USB-to-serial gateways enable command-line control using standard SCPI syntax, supporting automated batch sequencing and electronic record archiving aligned with ALCOA+ data integrity principles.
Applications
- Preparative isolation of plasma, serum, and whole blood fractions in clinical diagnostics
- Cell harvesting and lysate clarification prior to chromatography or electrophoresis
- Concentration and purification of viral vectors, exosomes, and extracellular vesicles
- Stabilization of enzyme solutions and antibody formulations during QC release testing
- Routine sedimentation of microbial cultures and fermentation broths in bioprocess development
- High-volume buffer exchange and desalting of recombinant proteins in upstream/downstream processing
FAQ
What is the maximum relative centrifugal force (RCF) achievable with the TD5M?
The TD5M delivers up to 5300 × g at 6000 rpm using the 15 mL × 12 fixed-angle rotor.
Does the TD5M require external refrigeration?
No—it is a ventilated, non-refrigerated centrifuge optimized for ambient-temperature operation; heat dissipation is managed via passive convection and intelligent motor duty cycling.
Can the TD5M be used for biosafety level 2 (BSL-2) applications?
Yes, when equipped with sealed buckets and aerosol-tight rotors (e.g., swing-out 500 mL carriers), it complies with CDC/NIH BSL-2 containment recommendations for closed-vessel processing.
Is rotor calibration traceable to national standards?
Each rotor is supplied with a factory-issued calibration certificate referencing NIST-traceable tachometric verification at three load points.
What safety certifications does the TD5M hold?
It conforms to IEC 61010-1 (safety), EN 61326-1 (EMC), and bears CE marking; additional UL/cUL listing is available upon request for North American deployment.
