Introduction
Gerber centrifuge is a specialized laboratory instrument used in the dairy industry for the quantitative analysis of milk composition, particularly the measurement of milk fat content. It operates on the principle of centrifugal force, which separates the milk into its various components, including fat, skim milk, and water. The fat content is a critical parameter in dairy quality control, affecting factors like flavor, texture, and shelf life of dairy products. The Gerber method involves mixing a specific volume of milk with sulfuric acid and amyl alcohol, causing the fat to separate and form a distinct layer. gerber centrifuge then spins the sample to enhance the separation, and the fat content is determined by measuring the volume of the fat layer relative to the total volume of the sample. Max speed: 4,000-15,000 rpm; max RCF: up to 20,000 x g.

FAQ
What is the Gerber Centrifuge mainly used for?
The Gerber Centrifuge is used to separate liquids from solids or components of different densities by high-speed rotation. It supports sample preparation in clinical, molecular, microbiological, industrial and research laboratories.
Which standards and regulations apply to the Gerber Centrifuge?
The unit is designed with reference to IEC 61010 electrical safety requirements and relevant GB/T standards for laboratory centrifuges, with rotors rated for their stated speeds. Compliance documentation can be provided on request.
What does the warranty cover?
A 12-month warranty applies to the complete equipment against defects in materials and workmanship. It excludes consumables, wearing components and accidental or misuse damage. Our service team handles claims against the serial number, and longer cover can be arranged.
Will staff need special training?
Day-to-day use is simple, with clear prompts and pre-set functions reducing manual steps. New operators should review the manual and complete a short familiarisation. Our technical team offers remote support during the first runs.
How long does delivery usually take?
Standard models require 7-30 working days. In-stock units can ship within 3-7 working days. Custom configurations or large built-to-order systems may require additional time, and we confirm the exact schedule before order confirmation.
Does the Gerber Centrifuge need calibration or verification?
Factory calibration is included, and routine verification is recommended every 6 to 12 months using suitable reference materials. Regulated sites may require more frequent checks and documented records. Calibration support and certificates can be provided on request.
Where do we get replacement parts?
Common consumables and standard spare parts are available through our service channel and are not locked to proprietary formats. Quote the model and serial number when ordering so the correct items are supplied. Lead time for standard parts is usually short.
Can the Gerber Centrifuge be customised?
A range of options is available to match the application, such as alternative settings, fittings, data outputs or power supply. We confirm each option and its effect on price and schedule up front. Larger custom builds can be discussed.
Is installation and commissioning included?
Standard installation is straightforward and supported by the manual and start-up documentation. Our technical team can guide staff remotely through checks and validation. On-site commissioning is available as a quoted service.
What maintenance and safety points matter?
Do not run without balanced, symmetrically loaded rotors, use damaged tubes or exceed rotor speed ratings. Wait for the rotor to stop before opening. Follow laboratory safety rules.
