Multifuge® 1 S-R: High-Capacity Centrifugation for Biotechnological and Pharmaceutical Research
The Multifuge® 1 S-R is a cutting-edge centrifuge, specifically engineered to meet the demanding needs of biotechnological and pharmaceutical research. Its design combines speed, precision, and capacity to streamline high-volume centrifugation processes, offering a superior solution for labs that require high-throughput sample processing. Capable of processing up to 1.6 liters of samples in a single run, this instrument not only accelerates workflow but also ensures optimal results with its powerful centrifugal forces and comprehensive range of customizable settings.
One of the key advantages of the Multifuge® 1 S-R is its ability to spin a wide array of tube types and microplates at higher relative centrifugal forces (RCFs) than many other models on the market. It operates at a maximum speed of 15,000 rpm, generating an impressive maximum RCF of 24,652 x g, making it ideal for diverse applications in molecular biology, genomics, proteomics, and drug development. Researchers can select from an extensive range of rotors and accessories, ensuring the instrument’s versatility for various sample types, including tubes, microtiter plates, and deep well plates.
The intuitive "EASYset" control panel simplifies operation, allowing users to easily adjust critical parameters such as speed, RCF, run time, and temperature. Whether selecting from 300 rpm to 15,000 rpm in 10 rpm increments or setting temperatures between -9°C and +40°C, the Multifuge® 1 S-R provides precision control at every stage of the process. A convenient switch allows users to toggle between speed and RCF displays even during operation, and the machine’s main memory automatically recalls the last set of run parameters for added convenience during repetitive experiments.
Another standout feature of the Multifuge® 1 S-R is its impressive range of safety and operational controls. The SMARTspin™ imbalance detection system ensures smooth, secure operation by automatically adjusting rotor speed in response to any detected imbalances. The soft-touch motor-assisted lid lock enhances ease of use, while the machine’s microprocessor-driven control system enables highly accurate and repeatable runs. Additionally, the unit is equipped with nine acceleration and deceleration profiles, allowing researchers to select the most appropriate profiles based on their specific centrifugation needs, whether handling delicate biological samples or aiming for rapid separation.
The centrifuge is built with a robust galvanized steel cabinet for durability, and its quiet operation—producing less than 54 dB(A) of noise even at maximum speeds—ensures a more comfortable working environment. The temperature control system maintains the internal environment with precision, making it an excellent choice for sensitive applications where maintaining sample integrity is paramount.
Beyond its core functionality, the Multifuge® 1 S-R is designed to support extended runs. Standard run times can be set from 1 minute to 9 hours and 59 minutes, or researchers can opt for extended time modes of up to 99 hours for experiments that require prolonged durations. The continuous operation mode ("hld") further adds flexibility for applications where indefinite run times are necessary.
The Multifuge® 1 S-R is an exceptional centrifuge that combines high capacity, speed, and precision, making it an essential tool for any laboratory involved in biotechnological and pharmaceutical research. Its array of customizable features and advanced safety mechanisms ensure consistent, reliable results, while its easy-to-use interface and adaptable accessories make it a versatile choice for a wide range of applications.
