Introduction

Crowded benches and slow separation steps hold up work in clinical, research and pharmaceutical labs. DNA, RNA and protein isolation all depend on a centrifuge that reaches high g-force quickly and stops without a long wait. The compact and powerful Sigma 1-14 Microcentrifuge is built for that job. Made by Sigma Laborzentrifugen GmbH in Germany, this unrefrigerated unit reaches 16,163 x g and suits molecular biology and clinical chemistry work.

• Installation requirements, including voltage and plug type, are confirmed at quotation.

Key Benefits

Lab efficiency depends on equipment that keeps pace with the workload. Several daily bottlenecks ease when you work with the versatile and quiet Sigma 1-14 Microcentrifuge.

Efficiency

Acceleration of 15 seconds or less and braking of 12 seconds or less with rotor 12094 keep spin steps short, so samples spend less time waiting.

Accuracy

Speed runs from 200 rpm to 14,800 rpm, and rotors for tubes, PCR strips, capillaries and filter tubes let one unit cover a wide range of protocols.

Safety and comfort

A noise level of 54 dB(A) or lower suits shared lab spaces, and the motorised lid lock closes the lid with little effort.
