Rotors, buckets, adaptors and tubes are selected as a system for the intended application; a dash indicates that the brochure does not list a standalone operating value for that component.

Key features

  • Balances medium batch capacity with high-speed separation.
  • Maximum capacity of 4×250 ml with swing-out rotors or 6×100 ml with angle rotors.
  • The refrigerated MR provides −20 °C to +40 °C temperature control.

Control and safety

  • The colour TFT touchscreen displays speed, RCF, time and operating status.
  • APRI™ automatic rotor identification and overspeed checking reduce configuration risk.
  • Stores 50 programs and supports multistage acceleration and deceleration.
  • Safety functions include imbalance shutdown, electronic braking, lid locking and emergency release.

Rotor and configuration selection

Blue Line supports rotors and adaptors for microtubes, Falcon tubes and multiple centrifuge-tube formats. Select the configuration by tube type, batch capacity, required speed/RCF and refrigeration need.
