Sigma 11156 swing-out rotor: a versatile solution for modern laboratories
The Sigma 11156 swing-out rotor is a component designed specifically for centrifuges in the Sigma 4-16 series. Constructed from robust, certified materials, it stands out for its ability to handle medium volumes and its compatibility with a wide range of tube types. With a maximum capacity of 6 x 200 ml, it meets the needs of laboratories that handle samples of various sizes, while ensuring consistent performance.
Its design allows high speeds to be achieved while maintaining sample safety and stability. With a maximum speed of 4,500 rpm on the 4-16S model and 4,800 rpm on the 4-16KS model, the rotor offers reliable performance and a centrifugal force of up to 4,920 x g. This power allows different types of samples to be separated efficiently, whether biological fluids, chemical solutions or cell suspensions.
Technical performance and enhanced safety
The rectangular buckets (reference 13127) of the Sigma 11156 offer a unit capacity of 200 ml. These buckets can be sealed hermetically with suitable caps (ref. 17112), ensuring optimum safety during centrifugation processes, even with sensitive samples. The device is capable of maintaining a temperature of 4°C at a maximum speed of 4,700 rpm, making it ideal for samples requiring low-temperature storage.
The rotor's robustness is enhanced by the use of certified wear- and corrosion-resistant materials, ensuring high durability even under intensive conditions. In addition, it is designed to accommodate a wide range of adapters, allowing the use of tubes of different capacities, ranging from 0.2 ml to 200 ml, in various materials such as polypropylene, glass, polycarbonate and stainless steel.
Extended compatibility for multiple applications
Thanks to its many possible configurations, the Sigma 11156 swing-bucket rotor adapts to a wide range of applications. It is used in contexts as diverse as biomedical research, pharmaceutical laboratories, environmental analysis and hospitals. The multiple adapters available allow you to work with both small microvolume tubes and larger capacity containers, optimising processing time and reducing handling.
This rotor is therefore an indispensable solution for laboratories seeking flexibility, reliability and safety. By integrating the Sigma 11156 into a Sigma centrifuge from the 4-16 series, users have a high-performance tool capable of meeting the requirements of the most common centrifugation procedures as well as more specific protocols.
