Sigma 2-7 Centrifuge with innovations created through customer feedback
Announcement posted by John Morris Group 19 Apr 2016
The latest innovation in the laboratory centrifuge range in the Sigma 2-7 as developed through extensive customer consultations. Important features of the 2-7 are it's stainless-steel bowl, imbalance switch, motorised lid lock, inventive blue LED run display and process dependability. An extremely quiet operator, this centrifuge will only lightly warm your specimen, which is valuable when working with for blood specimens. Presenting an adjustable, modular swing-out rotor, this centrifuge will be a welcome addition to many laboratories.
The bench-top centrifuge Sigma 2-7 has a new durable multi-purpose design that caters specifically to confined labs while being simple to use plus quite to operate. Through customer feedback and surveys, ground-breaking new features have been introduced such as the impressive run display – a blue LED shines light from the instrument base toward the bench-top surface, this gives operators a clear indication of when the device is “in use” throughout each run.
Another innovative feature has been developed for blood diagnostics in the medical laboratory where for tube clotting time with clot activator serum tubes, may be programmed. This optimises the workflow, since the centrifuge start can be followed by the user-definable clot time, and then centrifugation begins automatically; a buzzer and opening of the motorised lid lock indicates that centrifugation is complete. Enhancing the air ventilation offers extremely quiet operation and only minimum temperature increase of specimens even when running at full capacity and throughput. A total of ten programs are offered for convenience handling various applications and tube configurations.
