March 2016—The Thermo Scientific Medifuge is a benchtop centrifuge that features a two-in-one hybrid rotor with interchangeable fixed-angle and swinging buckets to facilitate quick and convenient switching between applications. When coupled with the Thermo Scientific DualSpin rotor, the centrifuge provides the flexibility to perform several applications on a single platform.
The two-in-one rotor is designed to improve productivity and increase cost efficiencies by eliminating the need to exchange or purchase additional rotors, or even a different centrifuge, to meet the application demands of the lab. The centrifuge features an emergency lid-lock release in case of power failure, quiet operation at less than 56 dBA, and a lightweight composite rotor that saves energy during acceleration and deceleration. The four customizable programs allow users to run routine protocols, while three deceleration profiles are designed to provide optimal separation.
The centrifuge accommodates a wide range of tubes, from 1.4 mL to 15 mL, with two spacer options, as well as clinical IVD blood tubes, gel tubes, standard syringes, and conical tubes.
