turns more than heads Sigma 8KBS Blood bank centrifuge • Refrigerated Medical device according to Regulation (EU) 2017/745

Ideal for blood banks Sigma is a leading international manufacturer of laboratory centrifuges for diverse sectors, including biotechnology, pharmaceutical, medical and environment analysis. Laboratories, institutions and companies everywhere in the world have been relying on premium Sigma quality – Made in Germany – for more than 40 years. The company stands for innovative products and development of durable, energy-efficient and especially user-friendly devices. The Sigma 8KBS is a refrigerated floor-standing centrifuge specifically developed for deployment in blood banks and transfusion facilities....

Application oriented High performance, intuitive operation and very high efficiency Many users worldwide appreciate the Sigma 8KBS as an efficient, powerful blood bank centrifuge. With its patented 1-knob controller, automatic rotor identification and ergonomic side-opening lid, it is the ideal device for daily, intensive use. The adjustment range of the powerful centrifuge has been limited to a maximum RCF of 5,394 x g. The Sigma 8KBS thus ensures optimum separation results and prevents damage to the blood cells caused by excessive RCF. The powerful drive system enables excellent acceleration...

Energy-efficient and quiet Saves money and reduces noise emissions One of the unique features of the Sigma 8KBS is the option of using a swing-out rotor with or without a windshield. A rotor without a windshield has advantages for handling, while the version with a windshield is distinctly more energy efficient and enables higer RCFs. Energy savings exceeding 63% can be achieved with a closed windshield due to the lower drag. It also reduces heat transfer to the lab environment as well as running noise levels. With rotor 11805 at 4,000 x g and 20°C specimen temperature, the energy consumption...

Components For comfortable handling and best separation results The medical device consists of a centrifuge, rotor, buckets, adapters and other optional components. The 6-place swing-out rotor is available as a standard version or as an energy-saving version with a windshield. Aerodynamic buckets are used in both rotors, which are equipped with a precisely fitting adapter for the blood bag system used. A new family of adapters has been developed especially for blood banks and transfusion institutions. Thanks to the high-performance material used, these adapters have an outstanding service life...

The corresponding tare weights 17754 (100 g) and 17753 (50 g) are used to balance out differences in weight. n Serial communication As standard Sigma 8KBS is equipped with an RS232 interface for process data transmission. For scanning barcodes...

Sigma Datasuite Data communication system The Sigma 8KBS blood bank centrifuge can optionally be equipped with the process data archiving system Sigma Datasuite by LabCraft. This system enables continuous monitoring and documentation of all data and events arising during centrifugation. Process data from up to 16 centrifuges can be logged. Along with the individually selectable running parameters, staff IDs and donation ID labels can be queried in accordance with ISBT 128. Data output for external quality management is provided via the integrated RS232 interface in either CSV or txt format, depending...

The process progress of the maximum of 16 centrifuges is displayed on the overview page and important events are indicated. Status, success and, if necessary, error messages are displayed and documented in a log file. Optionally, this overview can also be displayed on a second monitor. For each connected centrifuge, detailed information can be displayed by clicking on the corresponding tile of the overview screen. The display then shows all relevant data for the individual centrifugation run. Item numbers 17941 Device license for Sigma Datasuite Instrument 17945 Software license for Sigma Datasuite...

Spincontrol S controller Intuitive operation and many options The 1-knob Spincontrol S controller sets standards in control technology for laboratory and blood bank centrifuges. All parameter settings or modifications, such as speed, RCF or temperature, are performed using the centrally positioned multifunction knob. Constant display of setpoints and actual values Along with manual settings, previously entered programs can be selected using a shortcut. These programs can be assigned alphanumeric names to enhance process reliability and simplify operation. Another practical feature is the progress...
