What to include in a centrifuge quote request

Make centrifuge quotes easier to compare by naming the model, rotor, adapters, documentation and purchase requirements.

Name the exact instrument

List the instruments you are considering using the model or seller SKU shown on the model page. If you are still choosing, explain the physical format and configuration requirements instead of guessing a model number.

A quote should be tied to the particular offered configuration. A product family name or a similar-looking image is not enough to establish that two offers contain the same instrument and accessories.

Specify the rotor and adapters

Include the tube format, volume and dimensions, the required number of positions and any dedicated rotor configuration. Ask the seller to name the standard supplied rotor and every separately supplied rotor or adapter in the quote.

Check whether the relevant lids, adapters and other accessories are included. Written inclusion makes comparisons clearer and avoids treating optional configurations as part of the standard package.

List the requirements that decide fit

Include the documented method requirements you need the supplied configuration to meet, such as maximum ratings or a required temperature setpoint. Ask for the current model-specific manual and any documentation needed by your purchasing process.

Confirm the electrical configuration, physical dimensions and operating-environment requirements for the installation location. Identify any unanswered requirement explicitly so it can be addressed before the purchase decision.

Ask for current commercial terms

Provide the delivery destination, required quantity and purchase timeline. Ask Surge Scientific for current pricing, availability, delivery arrangements and applicable warranty terms for the exact configuration. This website publishes no product prices.

Compare written quotes using the same instrument, rotor, adapter and accessory list. Use the contact page to send your shortlist and configuration requirements to Surge Scientific, or contact the seller directly by email.

Model-specific source documents

Specifications for the models below are shown on their individual pages with source references. These sources support the offered configurations; their broader marketing claims are not adopted by this guide.
