Thermo Scientific Megafuge 40R High-Capacity Refrigerated Benchtop Centrifuge
Product Description
The Thermo Scientific Megafuge 40R centrifuge is a microprocessor-controlled, high-capacity benchtop centrifuge optimized for clinical diagnostics, biotechnology, and biomedical research workflows. It features a brushless induction direct drive motor providing quiet operation (<61 dBA) and low maintenance by eliminating carbon dust contamination, essential for sensitive molecular biology and bioprocessing labs.
Key technical specifications include:
- Maximum speed: 15,200 rpm with a maximum relative centrifugal force (RCF) of 25,830 x g (using a 30 x 2 mL rotor), supporting rapid and efficient sample separation.
- Rotor capacity: Accommodates up to 4 liters via a 4 x 1000 mL swing bucket rotor or 6 x 100 mL fixed angle rotor, enabling high-throughput processing of blood, cell suspensions, and bioprocess samples.
- Refrigeration: Temperature range from -10°C to +40°C with pre-cooling functionality, critical for maintaining sample integrity during centrifugation of temperature-sensitive biomolecules and live cells.
- Programmable control: Stores up to 6 user-defined protocols with 9 acceleration and 10 deceleration profiles, accessible through an intuitive backlit LCD and membrane keypad interface — ideal for standardizing biopharmaceutical production and gene editing workflows.
- Timer function: Runs up to 9 hours 59 minutes with countdown and HOLD options suited for extended bioprocess centrifugation steps.
- Power requirements: 120 V, 60 Hz, 12 A. Dimensions are 29 x 26 x 13 inches with a weight of 256 lbs, suitable for benchtop installation in molecular diagnostics and synthetic biology labs.
Widely adopted in clinical and research environments, this centrifuge supports efficient sample processing in molecular cloning, live-cell imaging preparation, and synthetic biology research, contributing to streamlined biomanufacturing and molecular diagnostics workflows. The brushless motor and refrigeration technology make it particularly valuable for laboratories requiring contamination-free, temperature-controlled centrifugation of large sample volumes.
