Sigma 8KS Centrifuge

Sigma’s 8K Refrigerated Floor Standing 12ltr Centrifuge is used in a broad spectrum of scientific applications ranging from biotechnology, clinical life-science laboratories, medical diagnostic labs and pharmacological technology to chemical industry, crude oil analysis, and water management – in both research and production. Sigma supplies centrifuges are renowned for their quality and the high capacity centrifuge offers unparalleled volume for a relatively compact floor standing machine.

The Sigma 8K centrifuge is one of the largest capacity centrifuges available today with a variety of rotors from 6 x 1000ml in fixed angle up to 12 x 1000ml in swing-out. The Sigma 8K centrifuges have also become an excellent workhouse centrifuge for blood-bank applications accepting up to 12 x blood bags and large numbers of blood tubes.
