StatSpin CytoFuge 2 M801-12 — Auction Analysis
The auction photographs identify an early StatSpin CytoFuge 2 M801-12 with a visible power supply and installed rotor assembly. Seller-reported working condition and a historical calibration label do not establish speed, interlock, braking, or current calibration; the $500 profit floor leaves a $0 blind ceiling.
Analysis snapshot · Historical — observed August 31, 2026. The scheduled close date of September 2, 2026 has passed. The price, evidence, economics, and recommendation remain exactly as recorded and are not current.

Why this decision
REVIEW with a $0 blind ceiling: the $450 conservative resale cannot meet the standard $500 absolute-profit floor, even before logistics, testing, or return risk.
What to verify before bidding
- The exact M801-12 is not converted to the later M801-22.
- No measured speed, interlock, braking, rotor condition, or retention test is evidenced.
- The visible yellow calibration-data label has unresolved date and current-validity state.

Auction snapshot
At the August 31, 2026 observation, the high bid was $25 with one bidder. It remains an immutable open-auction snapshot, not a final result.
A low observed bid and seller-reported working status do not overcome early-variant, rotor-safety, calibration, and minimum-absolute-profit limits.

How independent review worksHow evidence is classified
Seller facts, photo-derived observations, manufacturer context, unknowns, and LotCaliper assumptions remain explicitly separated.
Photo Derived
Photo-derived
- The power supply and rotor are visible.
- A yellow calibration-data label is visible but provides historical, not current, calibration evidence.
Not Established
Not established
- Measured speed, interlock, braking, rotor condition, current calibration, consumable completeness, and later-M801-22 compatibility.
- A final auction result.
Manufacturer Context
Independent context
- Later CytoFuge 2 family manuals and market figures are used only as family-level context; marketplace figures are asking-price evidence.
Lotcaliper Assumption
LotCaliper assumptions
- $450 conservative as-is/lightly verified resale.
- $0 blind maximum under the $500 minimum-profit rule.

Identity evidence
Physical label identifies StatSpin CytoFuge 2 M801-12, serial 0109, Rev A; serial is retained only because the approved specification explicitly requires it.

Seller reports working order, but no measured-speed, interlock, braking, rotor-retention, or current-calibration test is evidenced; the yellow calibration-data label is historical only.

No structured comparable-evidence metadata was preserved for this dated snapshot. Public auditability is limited; the numeric resale snapshot cannot be independently audited from comparable records on this page.

Sensitivity and robustness
Requires Verification
The scenarios show potentially workable economics, but the stated verification gate must be resolved before bidding responsibly.
Standard reseller profit-floor model
- Max hammer
- $0
- Gross resale model
- $450
A $25 hammer can produce a positive percentage return, but it cannot satisfy the $500 minimum absolute-profit rule.
Costs and maximum bid
No cost model is shown because the lot composition and removal scope must be verified before its costs can be modeled.
- Buyer premium
- Not modeled
- Return requirements
- $500 minimum profit · 30% minimum ROI
- Computed bid constraints
Profit floor: $0
ROI floor: $346
Binding: Profit floor
- Snapshot blind/as-is max hammer
- $0
- Modeled result at recorded bid
- No bid recorded
This is a reseller ceiling, not a prediction of the auction's closing price. Any buyer premium or other unquoted acquisition charge must be deducted before bidding.
Early-variant centrifuge verification and absolute-profit economics
The M801-12 should not be silently normalized to the later M801-22. The visible power supply and rotor improve completeness evidence but do not establish safe, calibrated operation.
The $0 ceiling is a professional-reseller decision rule, not a claim that the instrument has no end-user value.
- Verify selectable speed with a tachometer, lid interlock, controlled braking, rotor/cover integrity, and matching power-supply output.
- Do not turn the historical calibration label into a current calibration claim.
Recommendation and rationale

Market support assesses how well the available evidence supports the resale assumption. Exact third-party marketplace records may be omitted when source-use rights are unclear. Each dimension uses the published methodology rubric; a confidence label measures the strength and boundedness of its evidence, not the likelihood of a profitable outcome.
Risks and unknowns
High · Early Variant Compatibility Unresolved
The exact M801-12 is not converted to the later M801-22.
Later manuals, parts lists, and market evidence are family context, not proof of compatibility.
High · Rotation Safety Unverified
No measured speed, interlock, braking, rotor condition, or retention test is evidenced.
Seller-reported working status and a historical label are insufficient for a rotor-equipped instrument.
Medium · Calibration Unverified
The visible yellow calibration-data label has unresolved date and current-validity state.
Historical label evidence is not current calibration.
