Overview
The Xiangyi CL5 is a high-capacity, floor-standing low-speed centrifuge engineered for reliable, high-throughput separation in clinical, blood banking, and routine laboratory environments. Designed on the principles of sedimentation kinetics under controlled gravitational force (RCF), the CL5 delivers consistent performance for applications requiring gentle yet effective pelleting of large-volume biological samples — including whole blood, platelet-rich plasma (PRP), peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), and viral suspensions. Its horizontal rotor architecture enables uniform acceleration and deceleration profiles across all sample positions, minimizing shear stress and preserving sample integrity. The unit operates within a validated RCF range up to 6037 × g at 5000 rpm, supporting ISO 22870-compliant pre-analytical processing workflows in accredited medical laboratories.
Key Features
- Robust structural design with triple-layer safety protection: inner rotor sleeve, outer protective housing, and reinforced steel frame — certified for mechanical stability under continuous high-load operation.
- High-strength 7075-T6 aerospace-grade aluminum rotors, forged and hard-anodized to ISO 8075 standards for superior corrosion resistance and fatigue life exceeding 100,000 cycles.
- Intelligent acceleration/deceleration control with 10 programmable ramp-up and 11 ramp-down profiles to prevent resuspension of sensitive pellets during braking — critical for maintaining hematocrit accuracy and PBMC yield.
- Real-time online monitoring of rotational speed and chamber temperature via integrated digital sensors; graphical trend display supports GLP-compliant process verification.
- Multi-language UI interface (English, Chinese, German, French, Spanish) with role-based user permission management aligned with FDA 21 CFR Part 11 requirements for audit trail generation.
- Comprehensive safety suite: non-contact imbalance detection, overspeed cutoff, motor overheat protection, lid interlock, and automatic rotor recognition to prevent mismatched rotor usage.
Sample Compatibility & Compliance
The CL5 accommodates standardized clinical containers without adapter modification — including 4 × 450 mL triple-bag blood collection systems or 8 × 200 mL equivalents per run. Optional tube adapters support universal compatibility with vacuum collection tubes (e.g., BD Vacutainer®, Greiner Bio-One), enabling batch processing of up to 168 tubes using the 6 × 500 mL horizontal rotor. All rotor configurations comply with IEC 61010-2-020 (Safety Requirements for Laboratory Centrifuges) and are validated per ISO 13485:2016 for in vitro diagnostic (IVD) manufacturing environments. The system supports traceable operation under CAP/CLIA and AABB accreditation frameworks for transfusion medicine laboratories.
Software & Data Management
Embedded firmware provides full data logging capability: runtime parameters (speed, RCF, time, temperature), fault diagnostics, and operator actions are timestamped and stored internally for ≥10,000 cycles. Exportable logs conform to ASTM E2500-13 guidelines for equipment qualification documentation. System settings allow configuration of automatic data backup intervals, password-protected method locking, and customizable report templates compatible with LIMS integration via RS-232 or optional Ethernet module. Audit trails meet ALCOA+ principles (Attributable, Legible, Contemporaneous, Original, Accurate, Complete, Consistent, Enduring, Available) required by regulatory auditors.
Applications
- Blood bank emergency processing: rapid separation of red blood cells, platelets, and plasma from whole blood units.
- Hospital core labs: high-volume serum/plasma preparation for immunoassays, coagulation testing, and clinical chemistry panels.
- Research laboratories: isolation of mitochondria, lysosomes, and other large subcellular organelles from tissue homogenates.
- Virology workflows: concentration of enveloped and non-enveloped viruses from cell culture supernatants prior to downstream PCR or ELISA analysis.
- Biopharmaceutical QC: clarification of mammalian cell culture harvests prior to filtration or chromatography steps.
FAQ
Is the CL5 compliant with international quality management standards?
Yes — the CL5 is manufactured under an ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 13485:2016 certified quality management system, with documented design history files (DHF) and risk management reports available upon request.
Can the CL5 be integrated into a hospital’s existing LIS/LIMS infrastructure?
Yes — through optional serial or network communication modules, the CL5 supports bidirectional data exchange using ASTM E1381 and HL7 v2.x protocols.
What is the expected service life of the 7075-T6 aluminum rotor under routine clinical use?
Based on accelerated lifecycle testing per ISO 15197 Annex C, the rotor maintains structural integrity for ≥10 years at 2 shifts/day, 5 days/week, assuming adherence to scheduled maintenance and calibration intervals.
Does the CL5 support validation documentation for GMP/GLP environments?
Yes — IQ/OQ/PQ protocol templates, calibration certificates traceable to NIST standards, and installation site qualification checklists are provided as part of the delivery package.
Are spare parts and technical support available globally?
Xiangyi maintains authorized service centers in Europe, Southeast Asia, and Latin America; rotor recalibration and preventive maintenance services are offered under annual support contracts.
