Hand Centrifuge
Hand Centrifuge (Product Code: SLE/LC/09) is a crank-operated centrifuge used to separate suspensions and precipitates in school and college laboratories without any electrical supply. It has a cast metal body for bench mounting, a removable crank handle and head, and aluminium buckets for 15 ml glass tubes, a long-standing item of school chemistry lab equipment in India. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

What Is the Hand Centrifuge Used For?
The Hand Centrifuge is used to show, and to speed up, sedimentation: a cloudy precipitate or muddy water sample that would take a long time to settle on the bench separates quickly once it has been spun. In qualitative salt analysis it separates a precipitate from the solution so the clear liquid can be tested further, and in rural schools or field stations it stands in for a motorised centrifuge where power is unreliable.
Fill the 15 ml glass tubes to equal levels, place them in opposite aluminium buckets, and turn the crank at a steady pace rather than in jerks; let the head coast to a stop before lifting the tubes out. With the crank handle and head removed, the unit stores compactly in a cupboard and is easy to clean, which also makes it sensible biology lab equipment for schools in India.
OEM Manufacturer
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab, is the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) of the Hand Centrifuge and makes it at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Because the apparatus comes from the manufacturer itself rather than from a trader, schools, colleges, dealers and importers receive quotations straight from the factory.
Ask us about replacement buckets, crank handles or heads and about repeat orders; the manufacturer deals with them directly. More background is on our company profile.

- Centrifuge Tubes — spare tubes; check they suit the 15 ml aluminium buckets.
- Test Tube Rack — holds filled tubes upright before and after spinning.
- Pipette, Pasteur — for drawing off the clear liquid above the sediment.
- Laboratory Centrifuge — an electric swing out model with digital timer, when a motorised unit is needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Hand Centrifuge need electricity?
No. The Hand Centrifuge is driven entirely by turning its crank handle, so it works on any bench, including in schools and field stations where the power supply is unreliable or not available at all.
How is the Hand Centrifuge fixed to the bench?
The Hand Centrifuge is designed for bench mounting. The fixing arrangement and the bench-edge thickness it accepts are not given in the documentation, so contact us before ordering if your benches are unusually thick or have a lipped edge.
What tubes does the Hand Centrifuge take?
The Hand Centrifuge is supplied with aluminium buckets for 15 ml glass tubes. The number of buckets on the head is not listed, so please ask us for the head configuration when you request a quotation.
How fast does the Hand Centrifuge spin?
The speed of the Hand Centrifuge depends on how quickly the handle is turned, and no rated speed is listed. If your method needs a stated speed, compare the geared Hand Operated Centrifugal Machine or an electric centrifuge from our range.
Who manufactures the Hand Centrifuge?
The Hand Centrifuge is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), the OEM, at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Schools, colleges, dealers and importers buy it factory-direct, with quotations issued by the manufacturer.
What safety points should students follow with the Hand Centrifuge?
Students using the Hand Centrifuge should balance the buckets with equal volumes, keep hands and hair clear of the spinning head, and never slow the head by grabbing it. Let it stop on its own before removing the glass tubes.
Can schools order the Hand Centrifuge in bulk?
Yes. Schools, colleges and distributors can order the Hand Centrifuge in quantity; send the number of units and the delivery location in India or abroad, and the manufacturer will prepare a quotation for you.
