SVC-75005182 Biofuge Primo 120V 50/60Hz
SVC-75005441 Biofuge Primo R 120V 60 Hz  

The compact, space saving Primo and Primo R (refrigerated) offer the capabilities of three different tabletop centrifuges in single instruments. With a wide choice of rotors and adapters for tubes from 0.2 - 100 ml and top speeds up to 15,000 rpm (21,890 x g)1, both the Primo and Primo R function as high-performance microcentrifuges, high speed and general purpose centrifuges.

Primo centrifuges, with their applications-oriented accessories, are proven favorites in clinical, molecular biology, cell biology, small medical laboratories, as well as for routine analysis in industrial laboratories. Featuring an automatic rotor recognition system and electronic imbalance protection, whisper quiet Primo instruments accept fixed-angle, swinging bucket and microliter rotors.

The innovative Highconic® 6 x 50 ml fixed-angle rotor allows the centrifugation of conical cell culture vessels at up to 10,000 x g, while a high-performance 24-place microliter rotor rapidly accelerates 1.5 or 2 ml tubes to a maximum RCF of 21,885 x g.

Both rotors are autoclavable to 121°C - and along with the accessory 4 x 100 ml swinging bucket rotor, are certified as providing biocontainment for biologically safe centrifugation.

Process control is via the EASYcontrol™ II panel, clearly displaying all operational and run parameters. Time, speed and RCF values are set using a touch pad, with 2 acceleration and 9 braking curves available for sensitive samples. A quick-run key is also available for short spins.
