Description
The CF0506 benchtop centrifuge is a professional-grade, vibration-free laboratory centrifuge designed for GP surgeries, aesthetic clinics, outpatient labs, and research facilities. With an ultra-quiet brushless motor and advanced shock absorption, it delivers stable, noise-reduced operation — ideal for busy clinical environments that require focus and precision.
Offering a speed range from 300 to 5,000 RPM and a maximum RCF of 2,350×g, this centrifuge for PRP preparation and blood separation supports a wide variety of clinical protocols. It features a versatile rotor accommodating 6 × 5ml, 7ml, 10ml, and 15ml tubes — making it suitable as a PRP preparation machine, blood tube spinner, or general sample centrifuge for clinics.
The intuitive LCD interface with programmable settings makes operation simple and repeatable, while built-in safety features — including a secure lid lock, overspeed detection, and auto-stop — ensure safe use in busy clinical labs and aesthetic practices.
Who Is This Centrifuge For?
The CF0506 is specifically designed for clinical and near-patient testing environments. It is well-suited for:
-
GP Surgeries & Primary Care Centres — routine blood separation and sample processing for NHS and private patients
-
Aesthetic & Regenerative Medicine Clinics — PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) preparation for facial rejuvenation, hair restoration, and joint therapy
-
Phlebotomy & Outpatient Departments — compact footprint fits benchtops in treatment rooms and consulting suites
-
Dermatology Suites — quiet operation suitable for patient-facing environments
-
University & Research Laboratories — programmable settings for reproducible sample protocols
Clinical Use Cases
-
PRP Preparation: First spin at 1,500–2,000 RPM for 10 min; second spin up to 5,000 RPM — covers the full two-spin PRP protocol
-
Blood Separation: Separates plasma, buffy coat, and red cells from whole blood samples for diagnostic use
-
Urine Sediment Analysis: Low-speed spins for urine sample processing in primary care
-
Serum Preparation: Rapid separation for biochemistry and immunoassay testing
-
General Sample Processing: Compatible with a wide range of 5ml, 7ml, 10ml, and 15ml clinical tubes

Frequently Asked Questions
What tubes does the CF0506 centrifuge support?
The CF0506 supports 6 × 5ml, 7ml, 10ml, and 15ml tubes simultaneously, making it suitable for a wide range of clinical and laboratory protocols including PRP, blood separation, and urine sample processing.
Is this centrifuge suitable for PRP preparation?
Yes. The CF0506 is widely used for PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) processing, blood separation, and general sample preparation in GP surgeries, aesthetic clinics, outpatient clinics, and research labs. It covers the typical PRP spin range of 1,500–3,000 RPM (400–1,200×g) for the first spin and up to 5,000 RPM for the second spin.
What speed and RCF is needed for PRP preparation?
Standard PRP protocols typically require a first spin at 1,500–2,000 RPM (approximately 400–800×g) for 10 minutes, followed by a second spin at 2,500–3,500 RPM. The CF0506 covers the full range required for most PRP kits used in aesthetic and regenerative medicine clinics.
Is this centrifuge suitable for GP surgeries and aesthetic clinics?
Yes. The CF0506 is compact enough for a clinical bench, quiet enough for a consultation room, and powerful enough for blood separation, PRP, and routine sample processing. It is used in GP practices, aesthetic clinics, dermatology suites, and outpatient departments across the UK.
How quiet is the CF0506?
The brushless motor and advanced shock absorption system make this one of the quietest benchtop centrifuges available — ideal for clinical environments where noise is a concern, including consultation rooms and treatment suites.
Is the CF0506 CE marked?
Yes, the CF0506 is CE marked for use within the UK and Europe. Please confirm certification documentation requirements with your procurement team if required for clinical governance purposes.
Does the CF0506 come with a warranty?
The CF0506 is sold with after-sales support from Charles Medical. Please contact our team at charlesmedical.co.uk for current warranty terms, replacement parts, and service options.
What is the difference between RPM and RCF in centrifuges?
RPM (Revolutions Per Minute) measures rotor speed, while RCF (Relative Centrifugal Force, expressed as ×g) measures the actual force applied to the sample — which varies with rotor radius. The CF0506 reaches a maximum of 2,350×g at 5,000 RPM. Most clinical protocols specify RCF rather than RPM for consistency across different centrifuge models.
Can I use the CF0506 with PRP kits from other brands?
Yes. The CF0506 is compatible with most standard PRP tube kits (5ml, 7ml, 10ml, and 15ml) sold in the UK and EU market. Always verify tube dimensions with your PRP kit supplier before first use.
