Thermo Fisher Scientific has introduced the Thermo Scientific Heraeus Multifuge 3 Plus Centrifuge Series - a fully integrated, high-throughput system that includes a broad range of high-capacity, high performance rotors and adapters for both clinical and research applications.
With the addition of four new fixed-angle carbon fiber rotors and new high-capacity adapters, the Thermo Heraeus Multifuge 3 Plus brings higher speed and capacity to the laboratory bench, improving the researchers' everyday sample preparation processes, the company says.
The Heraeus is a 3-liter centrifuge and its carbon fiber rotors allow for unprecedented g-forces - delivering super speed centrifugation in a bench-top centrifuge: 14 x 50 ml conical tubes; 8 x 50 ml conical tubes at over 24000 x g; 6 x 250 ml bottles at 18500 x g, 48 x 1.5/2 ml at over 24000 x g, and 28 x 50 ml conical tubes in the swinging bucket rotor in sealed conditions.
For blood tube processing, the centrifuge offers new adapters: 108 x 5 or 7 ml blood collection tubes and 84 x 10 ml blood collection tubes. The combination of capacity and processing power in the new Heraeus means that researchers can spin more samples in less time.
