Benchtop centrifuge for PRP preparation, class IIb medical device

The Hettich EBA 200 is a compact medical centrifuge intended for the preparation of platelet-rich plasma (PRP). It is manufactured in Germany by Andreas Hettich GmbH & Co. KG, in Tuttlingen.

It is fitted with an 8-place fixed-angle rotor that holds centrifuge tubes of up to 15 ml. Its maximum speed is 6,000 rpm, corresponding to a maximum relative centrifugal force (RCF) of 3,461 g.

It is a CE-marked class IIb medical device, compliant with Regulation (EU) 2017/745 (MDR). It is suitable for use in private practices as well as in hospital departments and clinics.

Hettich EBA 200 centrifuge for PRP preparation, lid open

Compatible PRP tubes

The Xenoderm PRP tubes distributed by Medfirst, in both the 10 ml and the 15 ml format, are compatible with the EBA 200, as are the 10 ml Silfradent PV 200R plain tube, used for PRF and CGF preparation, and the T-Lab tubes: the T-1003 PRP tube with anticoagulant and the PRX T2001 PRF tube. The T-1003 tubes are those of the complete T-Lab PRP kit.

Rotor and centrifugation performance

The fixed-angle rotor (between 25° and 40°) holds 8 tubes. It is compatible with the 9 ml and 15 ml tubes used for PRP preparation. The fixed angle gives an identical sedimentation path from one cycle to the next, so the same centrifugation protocol can be reproduced from one preparation to the next.

At 6,000 rpm, the RCF reaches 3,461 g. These values cover the parameters commonly used in PRP preparation protocols.

Settings

The front control panel allows independent setting of:

  • speed, entered directly in rpm or in relative centrifugal force (RCF);
  • time, with a built-in timer and automatic stop at the end of the cycle;
  • acceleration and deceleration rate, to adapt the run-up to the type of sample;
  • end-of-cycle signal, visual (flashing backlight) and audible, configurable separately.

The parameters are shown on a tilting LCD display.

Operating safety

The lid locks automatically during rotation and only opens once the rotor has come to a complete stop, in accordance with standard EN/IEC 61010-2-020 for laboratory centrifuges.

Installation

With a footprint of 261 x 353 mm and a weight of 9 kg, the EBA 200 fits on a standard worktop. Its noise level does not exceed 50 dB(A). It runs on a 200-240 V, 50-60 Hz power supply. The centrifuge is not refrigerated.
