Thermo Scientific™ SL 16 Centrifuge: Precise Performance and Maximum Safety in the Laboratory
The Thermo Scientific™ SL 16 Centrifuge range represents the epitome of efficiency and reliability for laboratory sample processing. Engineered to meet the highest requirements of research and healthcare professionals, the SL 16 offers an exceptional combination of precise performance, advanced safety, and versatility.
The SL 16 Centrifuge is an integral part of the in vitro diagnostic medical devices category, compliant with the European Directive 98/79/EC. This compliance attests to its suitability for clinical diagnostics, ensuring reliable results for the separation of various bodily fluids such as blood and urine. Its versatile design also makes it suitable for processing chemical and environmental samples, extending its utility beyond the medical field.
At the core of the SL 16 lies a maintenance-free brushless induction motor, ensuring quiet and low-vibration operation with exceptional longevity, even at high speeds. The intuitive and user-friendly control interface allows easy selection of essential parameters such as speed, relative centrifugal force (RCF), operating duration, temperature, and acceleration and deceleration profiles. The ability to modify these values during operation offers unparalleled flexibility.
The SL 16 is equipped with various safety features to ensure risk-free use. The housing and rotor chamber, composed of sheet steel, ensure structural robustness, while the inner shielding in steel and the impact-resistant plastic front screen provide additional protection. The lid, equipped with glass and a locking mechanism, can only be opened when the centrifuge is running and the rotor is at a standstill, preventing any potential risks. Furthermore, a rotor sensor prevents the selection of excessive rotation speeds, enhancing operational safety.
Electronic eccentricity detection and emergency lid unlocking are additional features contributing to the device's safety. In emergencies, such as a power outage, the emergency lid unlocking ensures quick and secure opening of the lid. These safety features make the SL 16 an ideal choice for laboratory environments where precision and operator protection are paramount.
The Thermo Scientific™ SL 16/16R Centrifuge also features a PULSE function, allowing for centrifugation to start for just a few seconds, ideal for tasks requiring brief sample processing. This feature adds to the already impressive operational flexibility of the device.
In terms of performance, the SL 16 offers a temperature range adjustment from -10 °C to +40 °C, suitable for various environmental conditions. The compact dimensions of the device, with a height of only 360 mm, facilitate its integration into restricted laboratory spaces. Whether for refrigerated or ventilated use, the SL 16 meets the strictest standards for heat dissipation, ensuring optimal operation even in demanding conditions.
The SL 16 also stands out for its ability to accommodate different rotors, providing maximum adaptability to user-specific needs. Configured speeds are reached in just a few seconds, thanks to advanced electronic control. This operational speed contributes to the overall efficiency of laboratory processes, reducing waiting times and enhancing productivity.
The Thermo Scientific™ SL 16 Centrifuge range embodies excellence in laboratory sample processing. With its compliance with medical standards, advanced safety features, operational user-friendliness, and outstanding performance, the SL 16 is the ideal tool for professionals demanding the best from their laboratory equipment. Reliable, precise, and versatile, the SL 16 stands as the undisputed choice for unparalleled laboratory results.
