Heraeus Megafuge 8 Centrifuge – High-Performance, Flexible, and Compact for Laboratories

The Heraeus Megafuge 8 centrifuge is the ideal device for demanding laboratories seeking a compact, reliable, and high-performance centrifuge. Its innovative design ensures a perfect fit in any workspace, thanks to its compact size. This centrifuge is perfect for clinical and research environments, offering great flexibility to process a wide range of samples while ensuring consistent and reliable results.

With a 580 ml capacity, the Heraeus Megafuge 8 features a high-performance motor and four programmable settings, allowing users to customize their parameters based on their specific needs. Whether for 50 ml conical tubes, 5-7 ml blood collection tubes, or microplates, this centrifuge adapts to various applications. Equipped with a direct-drive brushless induction motor, the Megafuge 8 delivers optimal performance while minimizing motor wear, ensuring a longer lifespan and reduced maintenance.

One of the standout features of the Heraeus Megafuge 8 centrifuge is its Auto-Lock™ system, enabling quick and secure rotor changes in just three seconds. This system simplifies operation and allows for easy cleaning by providing full access to the centrifugation chamber. Additionally, users can seamlessly switch between applications with minimal effort, thanks to its versatile rotor options. The Heraeus Megafuge 8 can process up to 24 blood tubes of 5/7 ml, while also accommodating microtubes of various sizes, ranging from 0.2 ml to 5 ml.

Another version of this model, the Heraeus Megafuge 8R, includes an refrigeration system with a pre-cooling function to maintain optimal temperature during centrifugation. This feature is especially useful for applications requiring precise temperature control, such as protein or sensitive sample processing. The CFC-free refrigeration system of the Megafuge 8R ensures reliable performance and enhanced safety in laboratory environments.

This centrifuge is also designed to be extremely user-friendly. Its intuitive control panel allows for quick cycle start and stop. It features visual and audible indicators to signal the end of a cycle, which is a major advantage in fast-paced work environments. Additionally, the backlit display is highly readable, even from a distance, for easy monitoring of operating parameters.

The Heraeus Megafuge 8 operates at a low noise level, not exceeding 52 dBA at its maximum speed of 30,279 x g, helping to maintain a quiet work environment. This centrifuge meets the latest clinical and safety standards, including UL, CE, and in vitro diagnostic directives.

The optional ClickSeal™ biological containment lids are another key feature of the Megafuge 8. Certified by Public Health England, these lids provide optimal protection for samples during centrifugation, ensuring both increased safety and easy handling, even when wearing gloves.

Finally, the Heraeus Megafuge 8 centrifuge is designed for great adaptability to evolving research needs. It is compatible with 13 optional rotors, allowing laboratories to process a wide range of samples and accommodate diverse applications. Its ergonomic design and flexible processing capabilities make the Megafuge 8 an ideal tool for modern laboratories.
