Product catalog summary

Overview: The Sigma 6-16 series centrifuges are versatile laboratory devices used in various fields such as biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, medical, and environmental analysis. Manufactured in Germany, these centrifuges are known for their high performance and reliability, with a history of over 40 years.

Specifications: The series includes different models: unrefrigerated, heatable, refrigerated, and refrigerated/heatable. They offer high RCF values up to 25,419 x g and can accommodate large-volume rotors. The Sigma 6-16S is a universal benchtop centrifuge with a speed range up to 13,500 rpm and a maximum capacity of 4 x 1,000 ml. The Sigma 6-16HS adds heating capabilities, while the Sigma 6-16KS includes refrigeration with a temperature range of -20°C to +40°C. The Sigma 6-16KHS combines both heating and refrigeration.

Features: These centrifuges feature an intuitive Spincontrol S controller, a large TFT display, and the ability to store up to 60 programs. They include automatic rotor identification, imbalance monitoring, and a zero-maintenance induction motor. Safety features include password-protected access and secure program storage.

Rotors and Accessories: The Sigma 6-16 series offers a wide selection of rotors and accessories, including 12 fixed-angle and 6 swing-out rotors. These can accommodate tubes from 0.2 ml to 1,000 ml, as well as blood bags and microtiter plates. The rotors are made from high-grade materials and can achieve best-in-class RCF values.

Applications: Suitable for microbiology, molecular biology, pharmacology, genetics, bioproduction, cell culture, clinical diagnostics, and transfusion facilities. The Sigma 6-16HS is optimized for measuring water content in crude petroleum according to ASTM standards.

Options: Available options include a GMP version with a water-cooled compressor and an inert gas version with an injection system.

Component Specifications: Detailed specifications for tubes, adapters, and rotors are provided, focusing on capacities, dimensions, materials, and operational parameters. Tubes range from 0.2 ml to 750 ml, made from materials like PP, PPCO, Glass, and Stainless Steel. Adapters are designed for round and rectangular buckets, with specifications on bore diameter, length, and the number of tubes per adapter/rotor.

Procedures and Recommendations: Proper loading of tubes and adapters is essential to maintain balance and efficiency. Maximum speed and RCF limits should be observed to prevent equipment damage. Appropriate caps should be used for biosafety and temperature control during high-speed operations.

Key Parameters: Max speed varies by rotor and configuration, with specific limits for operations at 4°C. Max RCF is dependent on rotor type and speed settings. Tube lengths are specified for mid-bucket positions, with and without caps.

Limitations: Some configurations are only possible without specific caps. Loading instructions must be followed to avoid imbalance and potential equipment failure.

Best Practices: Regular equipment checks and maintenance are recommended to ensure optimal performance and safety. Adherence to specified material compatibility is crucial to prevent chemical reactions or damage.

Material Properties: Guidelines for selecting optimal tube materials are provided, detailing properties such as autoclave resistance, elasticity, transparency, microwave resistance, and chemical resistance. Testing materials for specific applications and discarding tubes showing material fatigue is emphasized.

Spincontrol S Controller: Offers intuitive operation with features like a multifunction knob, illuminated buttons, and a progress bar. Supports up to 60 programs, password protection, and external communication with LIMS for traceable reporting. Equipped with various acceleration and braking curves, temperature monitoring, and rotor cycle monitoring.

Quality and Service: Sigma guarantees high-performance, durable products made in Germany, conforming to safety and environmental standards. They offer a 10-year availability of spare parts and extensive service options, including maintenance and calibration. Global service partners ensure product security and compliance with national regulations.

Centrifuge Tables: Six different sizes of centrifuge tables are available, designed to match centrifuge dimensions and provide convenient work height and storage solutions. Made from coated sheet steel and equipped with lockable castors for easy movement.
