Sigma's 1-14K is a refrigerated high-speed desktop centrifuge suited to sedimentation of micro-tube volumes between 0.2 and 2ml in microbiological and medical research as well as PCR/DNA analysis.
The 1-14K has a maximum capacity of 24 x 2ml microtubes and a maximum speed of 15,000rpm or 16,602xg.
It has a rapid-cooling system with an adjustable temperature range of -10C to +40C and uses environmentally friendly refrigerant R134a.
Sigma offers six different rotors with 12, 18 and 24 microtubes capacity, made from either polypropylene or aluminium and delivered with a transparent lid.
The 1-14K offers additional acceleration curves (soft-start), deceleration (soft-stop) curves and a short-run mode.
Soft-start enables gentle acceleration and protects sensitive samples.
Soft-stop significantly reduces remixing of sediments when stopping the centrifuge.
The 1-14K also features a control panel that can store up to 10 programs in memory with a clear indication of parameters such as speed, relative centrifugal force and running time.
