Centrifuges

Centrifugation is a foundational laboratory process that separates materials by spinning samples at high speed. Be Scientific provides a broad centrifuge lineup to meet diverse applications - from small volume spins to high-throughput and temperature-controlled workflows. Our microcentrifuges offer compact, benchtop-ready designs for rapid sample spins. Benchtop and high-capacity centrifuges like the Sigma 6-16S combine heavy-duty performance with space-saving footprints, supporting tubes, bottles, plates, and blood bags with programmable control, automatic rotor recognition, and imbalance monitoring When temperature matters, the Sigma 3-18KHS offers both refrigerating and heating capabilities up to 60 °C, reaching speeds above 30 000 x g for precise thermal control during separation For ultra-high speeds, the refrigerated Sigma 3-30KS operates above 70 000 x g and maintains optimal sample temperature - even at maximum spin These centrifuges include user-friendly SpinControl S interfaces with large displays, programmable memory for up to 60 protocols, motorised lid locks, automatic imbalance alerts, and rotor life tracking - all designed to improve safety and workflow efficiency Centrifugation accelerates separation by generating centrifugal force many times stronger than gravity, enabling efficient separation of particles, cells, and liquids across research and clinical applications From compact microcentrifuges to high-speed refrigerated units, Be Scientific offers equipment tailored to your capacity, temperature, and throughput needs - backed by expert service from our Shropshire-based team.

FAQs

Q: What centrifuge types are available?
A: We offer microcentrifuges, benchtop and high-capacity models, refrigerated and heated units, and high-speed variants to match diverse lab needs.

Q: Can any models regulate temperature during runs?
A: Yes. The Sigma 3-18KHS offers heating up to 60 °C and refrigeration, while the Sigma 3-30KS provides high-speed cooling up to 70 000 x g.

Q: Are these centrifuges programmable?
A: Yes. Many models include SpinControl S interfaces with programmable memory, large displays, and features like automatic imbalance detection and rotor life monitoring.

Q: What benefit does higher speed provide?
A: Higher speeds yield greater relative centrifugal force, which speeds up separation of particles, improves clarity, and enhances throughput in lab workflows.
