Product Description
The Gyrozen 1248 is an air-ventilated multi-purpose centrifuge covering everything from microtubes to 250 mL bottles on one instrument. It reaches 12,000 rpm (16,582 x g) with fixed-angle rotors and 5,000 rpm (5,394 x g) with swing-out rotors, holding up to 6 x 85 mL, 8 x 50 mL conical or 30 x 1.5/2.0 mL tubes, and 4 x 250 mL, 48 x 15 mL or 4 x 4 microplates in swing-out mode. Supplied without rotor.
- Max. speed 12,000 rpm / 16,582 x g with fixed-angle rotors
- Swing-out capacity 4 x 250 mL, 48 x 15 mL or 4 x 4 microplates
- Fixed-angle capacity 6 x 85 mL, 8 x 50 mL conical, 30 x 1.5/2.0 mL
- Motorized lid mechanics and lid drop protection
- Large assortment of rotors, buckets and adaptors
Eco-Friendly Technology
- Automatic compressor-off function when the lid is opened, reducing unnecessary cooling and frost build-up
- Fast-cooling function: temperature drop to 4 °C within 5 minutes for a quick start with cooled samples
- Anti-vibration and air-cooling system that minimises noise and heat dissipation
Fully-Functioning Safety Architecture
- Automatic rotor detection with warning for imbalance, excess speed and over-heating
- Imbalance detection with cut-off and imbalance error counting
- Lid drop protection and emergency lid-lock release for power blackout or sudden stoppage
- Autoclavable and corrosion-free rotors
- With motorized lid mechanics, only a gentle touch is sufficient to close and open the lid
- Key lock function keeps the set parameters secured during operation
Intuitive And Refined Control
- Intuitive control interface with numeric input buttons and graphic pictograms
- Selectable time counting: “At Set Speed” or “From Starting”
- A separate “PULSE” key for quick spin
- Stores up to 100 user-defined programs, with 9 acceleration and 10 deceleration ramps
- Automatic RPM/RCF conversion; parameters can be changed during operation
What’s in the Box
