The Sigma 1-15 is a tabletop microcentrifuge suitable for sedimentation in microtubes with volumes between 0.2ml and 2.2ml and available in refrigerated and non-refrigerated models.
It has a maximum speed of 14,000rpm corresponding 21,918 x g.
The refrigerated model has a temperature range between -10C and + 40C.
A number of different rotor sizes are available to suit diverse requirements.
The Sigma 1-15 has soft-start and soft-stop options.
Soft-start enables gentle acceleration and protects sensitive samples.
Soft-stop reduces remixing of sediments when stopping the centrifuge.
The Sigma 1-15 microcentrifuge encompasses a brushless drive motor and metal housing for optimal safety and stability.
Applications for the Sigma 1-15 include microbiological research, biochemistry, molecular biology, DNA analysis and all sensitive sedimentations.
Compared to other centrifuges within its class, the Sigma 1-15 enables higher capacity to be achieved and greater gravitational fields to be reached.
