Large-capacity centrifuges

Large-capacity centrifuges are intended for workflows where sample volume and throughput determine the configuration. Compare total load, the format of each container, required RCF and cooling needs together.

Select equipment and request a quotation

Configuration examples

Routine loads up to 4×500 ml: TD6B and TD6 non-refrigerated benchtop models, depending on the rotor.
Refrigerated benchtop processing: XZ-5MT and TDL5M for supported large-volume containers.
Higher-speed and varied rotor formats: XZ21K-T, TGL21M and LaboGene ScanSpeed 1580/1580R.

Plan the full loading system

Specify container dimensions, quantity per run, target RCF and temperature. Confirm the exact rotor, buckets, adapters and lids. Check installation dimensions and service access before selecting a floor-standing or benchtop configuration.

What to compare before ordering

Criterion	What to verify
Rotor and protocol	Required RCF, rotor type and permitted operating conditions of the combination
Containers	Tube volume and dimensions, lids, buckets and adapters
Throughput	Samples per cycle, run duration and frequency
Temperature and control	Cooling requirement, programmes, acceleration and braking

Questions before selection and procurement

Why is maximum rpm insufficient for selection?

Compare the protocol’s required RCF for the specific rotor. Maximum speed and maximum capacity may refer to different rotors on the same centrifuge.

Are the rotor and adapters included in the price?

Check the quotation specification. List every tube or container format and the required buckets, adapters and lids.

How is the need for cooling determined?

Use the method’s temperature requirements, run duration and sample characteristics. Verify cooling capability and operating conditions for the selected instrument and rotor.

What is needed to compare quotations?

A technical specification and an equivalent equipment list for each option. Specify quantity, installation or use location, compatible accessories and documentation requirements. This supports comparison of the complete cost of the required solution.

Configuration and documentation

Record the exact model, version, standard equipment and optional items in the quotation. Request the manual and specification with the conditions under which performance figures are determined. Agree procurement documentation, availability, delivery, warranty and service work for the specific supply.
