Laboratory Centrifuges
Sartorius offers a comprehensive line of
centrifuges ranging from small centrifuges
for reaction vials to floor-standing models
with a capacity of up to 12 L. Of course, all
our centrifuges comply with the relevant EC
regulations and are CE marked. All centrifuges
feature a brushless drive for reduced maintenance.
Running speeds may be entered as
rpm or g-force values. All refrigerated units
are CFC-free.
The small centrifuges have a short spin
function: the unit tracks and displays the
time spent for this run. This makes it very
easy to treat several samples the same way.
The centrifuge 2-16K and all larger
models have an automatic rotor recognition
to prevent overspeeding. In addition, these
centrifuges can calculate g-forces from rpm
values and vice versa. As an option, free
programming makes it possible to define
and store individual centrifuge runs.
For models 3K30, 6-15|6K15 and 8K10,
free programming is a standard feature.
Depending on your exact application, you
can choose between refrigerated and nonrefrigerated
versions. Of course, PCR tubes
or strips may be spun in our centrifuges. For
special applications, such as oil analysis, even
heated centrifuges can be delivered. Please
inquire with your local representative for
details, and for our comprehensive catalogue.
Instruments for 115 V/60 Hz are available on
request.
To help you select the appropriate unit,
please consult the guideline below. Upon
request, we will provide you with a brochure
giving details about the individual units and
their accessories.
