Thermo Fisher Scientific has introduced the Thermo Scientific Heraeus one-litre general-purpose centrifuge series for high productivity and throughput.
Combining a maximum capacity of 4 x 400ml with a compact design for optimising workspace, these centrifuges feature multilingual user interfaces and control technology to maximise run performance and reproducibility.
Both the Heraeus Megafuge 16 centrifuges for routine sample preparation, and the Heraeus Multifuge X1 centrifuge series for high processing versatility, incorporate a range of technologies.
The tool-free Auto-Lock III rotor system enables three-second rotor installation and removal, for quick switch between applications and easy chamber access for cleaning convenience.
The biocontainment-certified Clickseal bucket sealing system employs glove-friendly, one-handed snap-on covers, replacing complicated screw caps and clips.
In addition, the advanced rotor management Smartspin system optimises acceleration, braking, temperature control and residual load imbalance to maximise safety and improve separation and pelleting efficiency.
For versatility, the company's rotor selection accommodates a variety of tubes, bottles and accessories, bringing an array of routine and high-speed applications directly to the bench top.
