The C5000-6H is the Sprint 6H Clinical Centrifuge, NEW entry-tier in the Sprint clinical family at $598 ($1,301 cheaper than the premium C3303-6HP Sprint 6H Plus at $1,899). Same swing-out rotor design (clinical hematology workflow) but with 6 × 10 mL rotor capacity (vs the 6HP's 6 × 15 mL) and lower-feature chassis. Right pick for clinical workflows at 10 mL tube format or for cost-optimized clinical centrifuge procurement.
