The Sigma 8KS compact stand-alone refrigerated centrifuge can be used for all tasks in blood banks, medicine and research. The maximum capacity ranges from 6 x 1 l on the fixed-angle rotor to 12 x 1 l, 6 x 1.5 l or 12 blood bags on the swing-out rotor. The motorized lid lock makes the Sigma 8KS especially easy to use. The centrifuge has a low loading height, is pleasantly quiet in operation, and has low power consumption.
