A mains electricity (AC-powered) laboratory device designed to condense fluid clinical specimens (e.g., serum, urine, cerebrospinal fluid, ascites) using centrifugal rotation in order to harvest and preserve the particulate matter. Commonly known as a cyto-spin, it separates fluid from the solid particles, or cellular elements, of a specimen so they are more concentrated. It typically consists of a centrifuge with various rotor heads, microtitre plates, tubes, microscope slides, funnels and/or cups to which the sample is added, and absorptive material, filters, fluid collecting traps or a vacuum source utilized to separate and remove the liquid component.
