Cyto-Tek® Centrifuge
from Sakura Finetek
Enhance Your Cell Preparation - Proven Reliability
CYTO-TEK® Cytocentrifuge
Three Chamber sizes for samples from 0.1 to 12 ml:
- 1, 6, and 12 ml disposable chambers accommodate a wide range of sample sizes.
- One size fits all: the 1 ml filter combines versatility with convenience; handles all routine specimens up to 1 ml with only one set of accessories.
- User-selectable, rectangular viewing/target areas: 49, 196, and 420mm2 essentially eliminates the need for multiple slides.
- Viewing area up to 14 x 30 mm.
Place acceleration, automatically controlled:
- Ensures specimen integrity through automatic, microprocessor-controlled, optional acceleration.
- Paced acceleration is “Always On”, eliminating operator bias in assessing cell fragility.
- Accommodates fragile cells requiring delicate handling.
- Speed adjusts from 500 to 2,500 rpm in 100-rpm increments.
- Programmable times range from 1 to 60 minutes in 1 minute increments.
Digital controls:
- Speed and time settings are retained in memory with a battery backup.
- Streamlined touch pad and 2 digital displays control and monitor all functions.
- Easy to use, easy to train.
Forced airflow control:
- Unique design, no rotor cover to sterilize
- Eliminates aerosol for greater operator safety.
Reliable:
- Manufactured with the same quality care as all other Tissue-Tek® instruments.
- Enjoy years of trouble-free operation with virtually no maintenance required.
Efficiently silent:
- Even at maximum speed, the Cyto-Tek runs smoothly and quietly.
Superior clinical performance:
- A consistently high rate of cellular recovery is extremely important for accurate morphological evaluation of cerebrospinal fluid.
- Well-defined rectangular target area for optimal results.
- Better preservation of cellular structure.
- With a G force of up to 735, the Cyto-Tek can handle low molecular weight organisms such as microbacteria and viruses.
- Operates on 115 VAC, 60 Hz.

Cyto-Tek® Centrifuge
Funnel Chamber
Enhance your cell recovery up to 100%
- Highly polished specimen chamber that minimizes cell attachment.
- 33% thicker clamp wall (for greater claming tension) that provides paced fluid absorption.
- Window ledge to help secure filter and keep cells in target area.
- “V” cutout to add rigidity helping to hold funnel chamber in place.
