China is a leading global hub for laboratory and industrial equipment, and centrifuges are no exception. For importers, distributors and end users across Africa and beyond, sourcing from China can unlock competitive pricing and a wider product range – if it’s done correctly.

This guide explains how to buy and export Centrifuges from China, what to watch out for, and how Wigmore Trading can support you throughout the process.

Why source centrifuges from China?

Chinese centrifuge manufacturers offer:

• Competitive pricing compared with many Western suppliers
• Wide product variety (from small lab centrifuges to heavy-duty industrial units)
• Scalability for both small orders and large-volume contracts

For importers and wholesalers in Africa, the Middle East and other emerging markets, this can mean better margins and more flexible product offerings. However, navigating the Chinese market, evaluating suppliers and managing export processes can be complex.

Wigmore Trading bridges this gap by handling supplier selection, negotiations and logistics, so you can focus on selling and serving your customers.

Types of centrifuges you can source from China

When planning to export Centrifuges from China, it’s important to be clear on the type and application you need. Typical categories include:

• Laboratory centrifuges
  For clinics, research labs, diagnostic centres and hospitals. These may include mini centrifuges, microcentrifuges, blood centrifuges and refrigerated centrifuges.
• Industrial centrifuges
  Used in food processing, chemicals, mining, oil and gas and wastewater treatment for solid–liquid separation at scale.
• Medical and clinical centrifuges
  Designed specifically for blood banks, clinical diagnostics and pharmaceutical environments, often with additional regulatory and certification requirements.
• Specialised centrifuges
  Such as high-speed or ultra-centrifuges, or units tailored for particular production lines.

Wigmore Trading can help you define your technical specifications, shortlist appropriate Chinese centrifuge suppliers, and ensure that the models you select match your market requirements.

Key challenges when buying centrifuges from China

Buying directly from overseas suppliers can expose your business to risk if not managed properly. Common challenges include:

• Supplier reliability – Not all manufacturers meet international quality standards or offer stable after-sales support.
• Quality and certification – For medical and laboratory centrifuges, you may need CE, ISO, or other certifications to import and sell legally.
• Communication gaps – Misunderstandings in technical specifications, packaging, or documentation can lead to costly delays.
• Compliance and regulations – Different countries have specific rules on importing medical or industrial equipment.
• Shipping and logistics – Managing freight, customs clearance and last-mile delivery can be complicated, particularly for oversized or sensitive equipment.

Working with an experienced trading partner reduces these risks. Wigmore Trading can help you verify manufacturers, consolidate shipments and manage the entire export process from China to your destination.

Compliance, certification and quality assurance

For many markets, centrifuges—particularly medical and laboratory equipment—must comply with specific:

• Safety standards
• Electrical and voltage requirements
• Packaging and labelling rules
• Documentation for health or regulatory authorities

Wigmore Trading works with suppliers who can provide the required certificates (such as CE, ISO or country-specific approvals) and ensures that manuals and labels are in the correct language where possible.

We also encourage buyers to define their compliance needs early. This reduces the risk of shipments being delayed or rejected at customs.

Supporting African and international buyers

Wigmore Trading has deep experience working with importers and distributors across Africa and other emerging markets. This includes:

• Port-to-warehouse logistics for landlocked countries
• Consolidated shipments when you are sourcing centrifuges alongside other medical, laboratory or industrial equipment
• Market-appropriate product selection to balance quality and budget for public tenders, private hospitals and industrial clients

If you are planning to export Centrifuges from China and sell them into Africa, Wigmore Trading can help you align product specifications, pricing and logistics with local market conditions.
