The small Thermo Scientific Heraeus Megafuge 8 offers an extraordinarily large capacity on a small footprint, and is highly user-friendly. It is available air-cooled or with cooling. Thanks to its flexibility, it is perfect for a wide range of applications in the clinical and the research sector.
- Very high capacity on a small footprint: 8 × 50 ml conical tubes in the swing-out rotor, 24 × 5/7 ml blood sample tubes, 30 SpinColumns, or up to 4 microtiter platens
- Safe Auto-Lock™ rotor change at the push of a button in 2 seconds only for a quick change of application and easy cleaning
- Certified aerosol-tight ClickSeal™ lid - for easy one-handed opening even if wearing gloves
- Made of premium, durable materials with high chemical resistance
- Very quiet operation (< 58 dBA with TX-150 rotor) for a safe, stress-free working environment
- Glove- and cleaner-compatible operating panel for one-touch operation with program memory and optional password protection
- Highly visible display with background lighting for easy reading of parameters also from a distance
