Sigma 6-16KHS

Refrigerated and heated benchtop centrifuge
Sigma 6-16KHS

High-performance all-rounder for the most stringent demands

The compactness of a benchtop centrifuge with the performance of a floor-standing centrifuge. The Sigma 6‑16KHS refrigerated and heated centrifuge is suitable for a wide variety of routine and research applications. Along with high throughput with fixed-angle and swing-out rotors, it easily achieves RCF values up to 25,419 x g. Its key features are high versatility, an advanced user interface and outstanding reliability.

What makes the Sigma 6‑16KHS refrigerated and heated centrifuge so attractive
Particularly thanks to the ability to use large-capacity fixed-angle rotors with high RCF, the centrifuge covers a distinctly broader spectrum of applications compared to competitive units.

The Sigma 6‑16KHS delivers precise separation results in all cases, whether blood pouches, petroleum flasks, microtiter and deepwell plates, or tubes and flasks from 0.2 ml to 1,000 ml.
It is widely used in microbiology and molecular biology, pharmaceutics, genomics, clinical diagnostics, bioproduction, cell culture labs and transfusion facilities. A total of twelve fixed-angle rotors and six swing-out rotors are available, along with numerous buckets and adapters – including many biosafe configurations. The Sigma 6‑16KHS refrigerated and heated centrifuge has a precisely adjustable temperature range from –20°C to +60°C and is especially suitable for applications where the viscosity of specimens must be reduced.

The Sigma 6‑16KHS features a clearly organised display. The patented Spincontrol S one-knob controller provides superior operating convenience and process reliability. Optimisation of separation runs and yields is supported by 60 programs with the option of making user-specific settings, as well as 30 profiles for use as acceleration or braking curves. Custom person-specific settings can be saved with password-protected access control. An extremely practical feature is the large program status display, visible from a distance, with a progress bar.
