Description
The Centrifuge 5811 R is a highly versatile, 3-liter refrigerated benchtop system designed to seamlessly handle diverse parallel workflows. Whether you are spinning tubes in the morning, plates in the afternoon, or bottles for your next experiment, this reliable instrument adapts to your lab’s dynamic daily needs. Combining broad rotor flexibility with sustainable cooling technology, the 5811R delivers powerful, high-capacity performance in a compact footprint designed to fit virtually any laboratory space.
Key Features:
- Ultimate Versatility: Supports 15 different rotors, allowing you to easily switch between swinging-bucket, fixed-angle, and plate rotors.
- High-Capacity Processing: Accommodates up to 4 × 750 mL bottles, 56 × 15 mL conical tubes, or 16 × MTP plates in a single run.
- Precision Cooling: Advanced refrigeration maintains temperatures from -9 °C to +40 °C to protect temperature-sensitive samples.
- Customizable Runs: Features 35 user-defined programs and 10 acceleration/braking ramps for highly optimized protocols.
- Quiet & Ergonomic: Operates at less than 56 dB(A) to minimize lab noise, with a low profile for easy loading and unloading.
