Sigma 6-16HS Bench Centrifuge: Versatility and Performance for Your Laboratory Applications
The Sigma 6-16HS benchtop centrifuge is a compact and powerful piece of laboratory equipment designed to meet a wide range of routine and research applications. With its ability to reach gravitational fields of up to 25,419 x g, this centrifuge offers exceptional versatility, allowing the use of large-volume fixed-angle rotors as well as swing-bucket rotors. This flexibility makes it an indispensable tool for laboratories requiring high throughput and precise separation results.
The Sigma 6-16HS is particularly suitable for applications in microbiology, molecular biology, pharmacy, genomics, clinical diagnostics, bioproduction, cell culture laboratories, and transfusion facilities. Its adjustable temperature range from 0°C to +70°C makes it ideal for a variety of applications, including measuring the water content of crude oil and petroleum products in accordance with ASTM D91/96. This ability to handle extreme temperatures and maintain high accuracy makes it a preferred choice for demanding laboratories.
The Sigma 6-16HS's modern user interface, equipped with the patented Spincontrol S control system, offers maximum user-friendliness and process reliability. The system can store up to 60 customisable programmes and 30 brake or acceleration curve profiles, facilitating the optimisation of separation cycles and yields. This feature is particularly useful for laboratories that need to repeat processes consistently and reliably. In addition, the progress bar, which shows the status of running programme and is visible from a distance, is extremely convenient for users, allowing them to easily monitor the progress of operations.
It is compatible with twelve fixed-angle rotors and six swing-bucket rotors, as well as a wide range of buckets and adapters, including biosafety configurations. This extensive compatibility ensures that the centrifuge can be adapted to almost any laboratory application, providing a versatile and efficient solution.
