Sigma 3-18 KS centrifuge: reliable and versatile performance
The Sigma 3-18 KS is a refrigerated benchtop centrifuge designed to meet the needs of modern laboratories, whether for complex research or routine procedures. It combines high performance, large capacity and an ergonomic user interface to ensure a smooth and efficient experience. Its maintenance-free induction motor and efficient cooling system make it a durable solution for sensitive applications.
With a maximum speed of 18,000 rpm and a relative centrifugal force exceeding 30,000 x g, the Sigma 3-18 KS enables fast and efficient separations, even for the most demanding samples. Precise temperature control between -20°C and +40°C ensures optimal control of working conditions, with a "Rapid Temp" pre-cooling function for faster cycles. This thermal control allows for a wide variety of applications, particularly in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries.
The centrifuge is equipped with the Spincontrol S controller, an intuitive single-button interface with backlit keys for start, stop and lid opening. It features an extra-large TFT display showing essential parameters, stored programmes and cycle progress. This system, coupled with automatic rotor recognition and a motorised lid locking system, ensures simplified operation and maximum safety.
Low noise levels, even at high speeds, improve the working environment in the laboratory. Automatic imbalance monitoring, rotor life management and easy cleaning thanks to the stainless steel bowl complete the list of features that make the Sigma 3-18 KS one of the most reliable and versatile centrifuges in its class.
Compatible with a wide selection of fixed-angle and swing-out rotors, the Sigma 3-18 KS offers flexibility that allows different types of tubes and microplates to be processed. This compatibility also extends to specific accessories, further expanding the range of possible applications and ensuring optimal performance regardless of the protocol used.
