Crystal eight VS-100R –
8-Position Laboratory Mini Centrifuge
The Crystal eight VS-100R
is a compact laboratory microcentrifuge
designed for rapid centrifugation
of small sample volumes.
Its transparent housing provides
a clear view of the rotor compartment.
According to original product documentation,
the centrifuge offers a maximum speed of
10,000 rpm and a maximum
relative centrifugal force of
5,600 × g.
The integrated rotor accommodates
8 microcentrifuge tubes
with capacities from 1.5 to 2.2 mL.
Smaller tubes from 0.4 to 0.5 mL
can be used with optional adapters.
The centrifuge features automatic starting
when the lid is closed and automatic
stopping when the lid is opened.
An automatic stop after ten minutes
is also specified by the manufacturer.
This well-maintained used unit
originates from laboratory inventory.
It has been functionally tested and
operates smoothly and quietly.
The automatic stopping function
when opening the lid works correctly.

Included Items
- 1 × Crystal eight VS-100R Mini Centrifuge
- Integrated eight-position rotor
- Transparent hinged lid
Adapters for smaller tubes, laboratory
sample tubes and other accessories
are not included in the documented
scope of supply.
The original product photographs determine
the actual included items.
Important Information
The historical product datasheet specifies
a power supply range of 100–220 V
at 50/60 Hz.
No individual nameplate is present
on the offered unit.
Compatibility with a 230 V supply
has therefore not been conclusively verified.
The permissible supply voltage should be
confirmed before further operation.
No current electrical safety inspection
has been documented.
The centrifuge has been tested for
smooth running and automatic stopping.
No calibrated performance verification
was performed.
