Biofuge Stratos: Precision Meets Innovation in Laboratory Centrifugation
The Biofuge Stratos by Kendro Laboratory Products marks a significant advancement in laboratory centrifugation, bringing cutting-edge intelligent technology into a compact, refrigerated high-speed tabletop centrifuge. Designed for demanding users, the Biofuge Stratos combines exceptional performance with enhanced safety features, making it an indispensable tool in various laboratory settings.
Traditionally, intelligent technology has been the hallmark of larger, floor-standing centrifuges. However, the Biofuge Stratos integrates these advanced features into a compact design, providing laboratory professionals with unparalleled efficiency and reliability. The centrifuge operates with a fully automatic lid that securely locks with a gentle push, ensuring safety and ease of use.
One of the standout features of the Biofuge Stratos is its patented electronic imbalance recognition system. This innovative technology is tailored to every rotor and continuously monitors for imbalances during operation. In the event of significant sample loss or imbalance caused by improper loading, the centrifuge will automatically engage braking, preventing potential damage to samples and ensuring safe operation. False alarms are avoided, allowing users to focus on their work without unnecessary interruptions.
The Biofuge Stratos excels in speed and efficiency, boasting the ability to accelerate rotors to an impressive 50,000 x g in just 30 seconds. The combination of short acceleration and braking times significantly enhances sample throughput, making it an ideal choice for busy laboratories. Its innovative spindle drive features active damping, which provides exceptional stability and reduces noise levels during operation. This means that loud rotors and the resuspension of sediments are no longer concerns, allowing users to work in a quieter environment.
The Easycontrol user panel simplifies operation with its clear display of all parameters, ensuring that users can easily monitor and adjust settings as needed. The interface employs internationally recognized symbols and allows for the saving of nine key programs for common run parameters. The "Pretemp" program facilitates rapid pre-cooling, ensuring optimal conditions for sample integrity.
An automatic rotor recognition system enhances usability by identifying whether the programmed speed exceeds the maximum permissible for the selected rotor. This feature alerts users, allowing them to confirm or adjust the speed quickly and easily, thus minimizing the risk of operational errors.
The Biofuge Stratos offers an extensive selection of ten different rotors, including fixed-angle, micro-liter, swing-out, and continuous flow rotors. This versatility accommodates a wide range of tube sizes, from 0.2 ml to 180 ml, making the centrifuge suitable for various applications in molecular biology, biochemistry, and clinical research. The newly designed aerosol-tight rotors enhance user safety, particularly when handling toxic or infectious materials.
Designed with user safety as a top priority, the Biofuge Stratos meets stringent EN 61010 regulations regarding the handling of biological agents. Its aerosol-tight caps and sealed tubes provide additional protection, ensuring that aerosols do not escape into the laboratory environment.
The Biofuge Stratos is a robust, efficient, and versatile centrifuge that elevates laboratory productivity while prioritizing safety and user-friendliness. Its intelligent design makes it an essential asset for modern laboratories.
