VWR Mega Star 1.6R Benchtop Centrifuge
This versatile benchtop centrifuge offers practical capacity, ergonomic access, and secure sample processing for applications in pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, research, and routine laboratory work.
- Auto-Lock® III rotor system enables tool-free rotor exchange and facilitates access to the centrifuge chamber for cleaning.
- Aerosol-tight ClickSeal® bucket sealing system allows for easy one-handed opening and closing (even while wearing gloves).
- SMARTSpin® technology optimizes acceleration, braking, and imbalance detection for consistent, reproducible separation results.
- Pulse function for time-saving short runs.
- Large, bright LCD display simplifies operation and programming in shared laboratory environments.
The Mega Star 1.6R series centrifuge is designed as a refrigerated model, offering laboratories options for routine separation tasks or the processing of temperature-sensitive samples.
The refrigerated model features a pre-cooling function and temperature control ranging from -10 to +40 °C to ensure optimal sample conditions during centrifugation.
The TX-400 swinging-bucket rotor offers a capacity of 4 × 400 ml and flexible configuration options; it is supplied with 16 × 50 ml adapters.
