Sigma 1-7: compact, high-performance centrifuge for small sample volumes
The Sigma 1-7 is a benchtop centrifuge designed to deliver reliable performance in a compact format. It is ideal for small to medium-sized laboratories, medical and veterinary practices, and educational institutions such as schools and universities. Thanks to its compact design and low noise level, it fits easily into confined spaces while maintaining a comfortable working environment. Its maximum capacity of 6 x 15 ml, combined with a specially optimised fixed-angle rotor, allows it to efficiently process a wide variety of tubes, including blood tubes for in vitro diagnostics and round-bottom tubes. This versatility makes it particularly suitable for applications ranging from clinical analysis to education, research and environmental analysis.
High performance for fast and efficient separation
With a maximum speed of 8,000 rpm and a relative centrifugal force (RCF) of up to 6,153 x g, the Sigma 1-7 enables fast separations, which is essential for analyses requiring urgent processing, such as in emergency laboratories or during critical analyses for patient diagnosis. Acceleration and braking times are particularly short, at 13 and 11 seconds respectively, ensuring that results are available almost immediately. The centrifuge also has ten programmable settings, allowing predefined parameters to be easily saved and recalled. This feature facilitates repeatability of analyses and optimises the management of varied samples. The motorised lid lock, combined with automatic opening at the end of the cycle, enhances safety and simplifies handling, allowing the user to quickly see when the process is complete, even from a distance.
Ergonomics, reliability and durability for everyday use
The Sigma 1-7 is equipped with the Spincontrol Basic controller, a clear and intuitive interface with an easy-to-read LCD display. Parameters can be adjusted quickly using simple controls, even during operation. The maintenance-free motor, combined with a robust design and high-quality components, ensures optimum longevity and consistent operation, even during intensive use. The low temperature rise during prolonged operation helps to preserve sensitive samples. Compliant with international safety and performance standards, the Sigma 1-7 is manufactured in Germany with a focus on quality.
This combination of performance and reliability makes the Sigma 1-7 a strategic choice for laboratories looking for a compact, powerful and durable device that can meet the most demanding daily requirements.
