Overview:
Centrifuge It is an instrument that utilizes the powerful centrifugal force generated by the high-speed rotation of a rotor to accelerate the sedimentation rate of particles in a liquid, thereby separating substances in a sample based on their differing sedimentation coefficients and buoyant densities. In the pharmaceutical field, centrifuges have become extremely common and indispensable equipment. Particularly in recent years, with the rapid development of the pharmaceutical industry, medical centrifuges have begun to usher in tremendous growth opportunities. However, it is worth noting that, domestically, from the perspective of the brand landscape in the pharmaceutical centrifuge market, the major market share is still dominated by imported brands; moreover, for a long time, the core technologies of centrifuges have been monopolized by foreign brands.
To continuously advance and achieve breakthroughs in domestically produced centrifuge technology, numerous local centrifuge manufacturers have begun accelerating innovation in both products and technologies, gradually catching up with and approaching the industry’s leading levels. As domestic centrifuge technology continues to develop and industry players persist in their efforts, many Chinese brands have now risen steadily on the strength of their capabilities. In some pharmaceutical laboratories and research institutions, companies like Luxiangyi—domestically produced centrifuge manufacturers—are increasingly appearing.
Among them, as a professional manufacturer of centrifuges, Luxiangyi is steadily achieving remarkable success in the centrifuge market thanks to its longstanding production history, strong technological capabilities, sophisticated production equipment, comprehensive testing facilities, reliable product quality, stable performance, and a full range of specifications. Notably, however, Luxiangyi is not content with these achievements; instead, it continues to drive forward through active innovation, providing even stronger equipment support for the pharmaceutical industry and making further contributions to the safe production of pharmaceuticals and the promotion of human health and well-being.
For example, in the existing technology, the centrifugal motor is a permanent-magnet brushless motor that cannot achieve precise positioning or self-locking. Moreover, when the stepper motor drives the centrifugal motor’s spindle to move precisely, the spindle fails to self-lock, causing the centrifugal motor to continue moving by inertia even after the stepper motor has stopped—resulting in inaccurate positioning of the centrifugal motor. Additionally, in conventional centrifuges, the rotor often comes to rest at an unpredictable position once the centrifugation process is complete, making it extremely inconvenient for robotic arms to pick up and place samples. To address these challenges, Lu Xiangyi began delving into the development of an automated positioning mechanism for centrifuges, thereby accelerating the transition from traditional centrifuges to intelligent ones.

Centrifuge Automatic Positioning Mechanism
It is understood that Lu Xiangyi has developed several new products by researching and developing an automatic positioning mechanism for centrifuges. These new products are automated positioning centrifuges designed to work seamlessly with fully automatic biochemical analyzers. They feature high positioning accuracy and can transmit MODBUS information to a host computer via a serial port, ensuring precise gripping by robotic arms and enabling the automation of centrifugation experiments. Depending on customer requirements, these centrifuges can separate blood collection tubes, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) plates, 50 ml tubes, 1.5 ml tubes, and more. Additionally, they can be custom-designed according to specific customer needs in terms of exterior appearance, window size, and the number of samples to be separated. Moreover, during the pandemic, these centrifuges help mitigate human-related risks and reduce costs. Currently, Lu Xiangyi’s products are widely used by numerous domestic brands and have received high recognition and approval from a broad range of customers.


Lu Xiangyi Automatic Positioning Centrifuge—AP50-6
Specifically, Lu Xiangyi’s automatic positioning centrifuges—including the AP-8, AP-80R, and AP-80—each have their own unique highlights and advantages, making them well worth a closer look.
AP-8 Automatic Positioning Centrifuge
The AP-8 automatic positioning centrifuge is a computer-controlled, fully automated microcentrifuge with air cooling. The process can be automated, optimizing workflow efficiency. It can rapidly and safely centrifuge 1.5/2.0-milliliter tubes—such as microtubes—making it suitable for sample preparation in life science research laboratories, as well as for routine applications in medical diagnostics or industrial quality control.
AP-80R, AP-80 Automatic Positioning Centrifuge
The AP-80R/AP-80 automatic positioning centrifuge enables automation, replacing manual labor in time-consuming and repetitive operational steps. Not only does this reduce the risk of infection, but it also frees laboratory personnel to focus on other tasks.
·The positioning centrifuge can perform certain specialized tasks and efficiently upload statistical samples to the information center. In the research field, the AP-80R and AP-80 have made valuable contributions to automated analysis systems.
·The AP-80 and AP-80R automatic positioning centrifuges—available in both room-temperature and refrigerated benchtop models—can be equipped with positioning features. These positioning centrifuges enable rapid and reliable separation of blood collection tubes. When used in conjunction with the AP-80, AP-80R, and robotic arms, they facilitate the easy establishment of automated workstations for routine clinical testing.
