High-Grade Microcentrifuge: Benchtop Centrifuge - 15000 rpm - 72 ml Capacity

Introduction

When 16,000 x g is no longer enough, protein and microbiology protocols need a stronger microcentrifuge with more tube options. The space-saving and high-grade Sigma 1-16 Microcentrifuge reaches 20,627 x g and handles up to 36 x 2 ml, with rotors for PCR strips, filter tubes, 2 ml and 5 ml tubes and capillaries.

Key Benefits

Several daily bottlenecks ease when you work with the stainless steel bowl Sigma 1-16 Microcentrifuge.

Efficiency

Acceleration and braking of 16 seconds or less with rotor 12134 keep throughput steady.

Accuracy

RCF up to 20,627 x g supports microbiological, protein biochemistry and clinical chemistry work.

Safety and comfort

The motorised lid lock closes the lid with little effort, and the bowl is high-grade stainless steel.
