The C3200 is the LC-8 Plus, premium variant of the LC-8 Lab Centrifuge family at $897 ($250 premium over the C3100 standard at $897.00). Same 8 × 15 mL rotor capacity as the standard variant; the "Plus" branding suggests enhanced features: likely digital control, programmable timer, or enhanced motor / RPM range.
