LW Scientific PortaFuge E8 – 8-Place 12V Car Centrifuge (Canada)

Professional Mobile Stabilization Solution

In diagnostic medicine, the accuracy of clinical results depends on the Pre-Analytical Phase. If whole blood is not centrifuged within two hours of collection, cellular metabolism alters potassium and glucose levels, leading to rejected samples. The E8 Portafuge eliminates this "Transport Gap" by bringing laboratory-grade processing to the patient's location.

Engineered for the Field

• 12V DC Vehicle Power: Connects directly to any standard vehicle auxiliary outlet without the need for power inverters.

• Safety-Lock Vehicle Seat: Includes a custom-molded base and heavy-duty strap system to ensure the unit remains level and secure while parked at a patient’s home or field site.

• Clinical-Grade Performance: Delivers a consistent 1,534 x g (3,500 RPM), meeting standard laboratory requirements for high-quality serum and plasma separation.

• Thermolabile Sample Protection: The cool-flow rotor chamber prevents friction-heat buildup, protecting heat-sensitive analytes from degradation during the run.

People Also Ask:

Q: Can I run this centrifuge while the car is moving?
A: No. For safety and consistent results, operate only when the vehicle is parked on a stable surface and the unit is secured. A moving vehicle changes vibration and leveling and can create safety risks.

Q: Does the PortaFuge run from a standard car outlet?
A: Yes. It’s designed for 12V DC vehicle power using the included 12V cord and car seat mount.

Q: What tube sizes does the PortaFuge 8-place hold?
A: The 8-place angled rotor is designed for 3 mL to 15 mL tubes. Exact compatibility depends on tube diameter/length and sleeve/insert configuration.

Q: Will it fit SST 10 mL 16×100 tubes?
A: Many 10 mL blood collection formats fall within the 3–15 mL range, but exact fit depends on outside diameter, length, and cap style. Send us the tube brand/spec and we’ll confirm before you order.

Q: Does it include a wall (AC) adapter?
A: The wall adapter is optional. If you need AC operation in a clinic or lab, add the 110/220V adapter (sold separately) or request a quote.

Q: Is this “CLIA compliant” or “ISO/FDA certified”?
A: Compliance typically applies to your organization’s validated procedures, documentation, and quality system—not to a centrifuge model. If you operate under CLIA, ISO 15189, ISO 13485, or similar frameworks, validate this centrifuge within your SOP (training, run settings, maintenance, traceability, and recordkeeping).
