The Sigma 3‑18KHS makes work processes in laboratory operation more efficient, safer and more convenient. The benchtop centrifuge has an extraordinary capacity with a maximum of 4 x 400 ml. The Sigma 3‑18KHS is nicely complemented by a large selection of fixed-angle and swing-out rotors, buckets and adapters, including many biosafe configurations. Particularly thanks to the ability to use fixed-angle rotors with high RCF, the centrifuge covers a distinctly broader spectrum of applications compared to competitive units.

The Sigma 3‑18KHS is also available as the Sigma 3‑18KSrefrigerated centrifuge.

Sigma centrifuges are high performance, reliable and safe. Whether you are looking for a compact microlitre centrifuge, a high-performance benchtop centrifuge or a large-capacity self-standing centrifuge – refrigerated, unrefrigerated, heated, or especially quiet and energy efficient – we have the right solution for every specific customer requirement.

Product options such as IVD, inert gas port and water cooling are also part of our product portfolio. Special models tailored to individual requirements are possible. Please contact us.
