Thermo Electron announces its B4i and C3i multifunction centrifuges.
The latest in a broad line of mid-sized centrifuges, these multifunction units maintain the tradition of reliability, ease of use, performance, versatility and value.
B4i and C3i centrifuges are available in ventilated and refrigerated versions.
Whatever type of sample needs to be processed, the B4i and C3i multifunction series will simplify the laboratory routine, says Thermo.
Ideal for clinical biology, the centrifuges have a high capacity swing-out rotor (4x290 ml), are equipped with a brushless induction motor, and operate at up to 14,000 rpm with a relative centrifugal force of 18,407g.
New, easy-to-use control system allows parameters to be programmed and displayed, using either speed (rpm) or RCF (g) values.
Large range of accessories enable these centrifuges to perform a wide variety of additional applications, including analytical biology, cytology (slides), molecular biology (microtiter plates and microvolumes) and cell culture.
Protocols that require both swing-out and angle rotors can be completed using the same centrifuge.
Swing-out rotors can be used to spin large batches of tubes, sample concentration tube systems, analyser racks, microplates and deep-well blocks.
Range of angle rotors accepts tubes up to 100ml and large batches, such as 192x0.5ml.
Patented Auto-Lock rapid rotor exchange system makes B4i and C3i multifunction centrifuges versatile by minimising set up time - rotors can be exchanged in less than five seconds.
Protocols can be saved in five programmes with parameters including speed or RCF, time, temperature, acceleration and braking rate.
True radius is a programmable parameter, ensuring that true RCF is attained when tube adapters are used.
Pre-set programmes that facilitate high reproducibility of centrifugation in conformity with GLP standards (Good Laboratory Practices) are recalled with one touch of a user-defined key.
Bright displays ensure that set or actual values can be seen from across the lab.
Safety features protect the operator, sample and centrifuge, and an extended self-diagnostics program allows immediate resolution of system errors.
