Robotic Refrigerated Centrifuge
Robotic refrigerated centrifuges are essential for laboratories seeking to automate sample processing while maintaining optimal conditions for temperature-sensitive samples. Be Scientific provides the Sigma 4‑5KRL robotic cecntrifuge, engineered for integration into laboratory automation systems.
The Sigma 4‑5KRL features a speed range up to 4,700 rpm (~4,470 x g) and a temperature setting range from –10 °C to +40 °C, ensuring precise control over sample conditions. This model is capable of processing up to 140 blood collection tubes or 16 microtiter plates per run, accommodating high-throughput workflows. The centrifuge is designed for robot loading and unloading, with minimal non-productive process times—lid opening and closing in less than 2 seconds and rotor indexing within 8 seconds. Safety features include automatic rotor identification, imbalance monitoring, and rotor life monitoring. The unit operates with a noise level ≤ 59 dB(A) and is built for continuous duty, making it suitable for demanding laboratory environments.
Whether integrating into existing automation systems or setting up new workflows, the Sigma 4‑5KRL robotic refrigerated centrifuge offers the performance and reliability required for high-throughput laboratory applications.
