The compactness of a benchtop centrifuge with the performance of a floor-standing centrifuge. The refrigerated Sigma 6‑16KS 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 6‑16KS refrigerated benchtop 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 6‑16KS 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 and six swing-out rotors are available, along with numerous buckets and adapters – including many biosafe configurations.

The Sigma 6‑16KS 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.

The Sigma 6‑16KS is also available as the Sigma 6‑16S unrefrigerated centrifuge, the Sigma 6‑16HS heated centrifuge and the Sigma 6‑16KHS refrigerated and heated centrifuge. An inert gas port is optionally available for this device.
