Cobas p471 Refrigerated Benchtop Centrifuge & p512 Automated Pre-analytical Sample Handling System

The Cobas p471 centrifuge is a refrigerated benchtop centrifuge optimized for clinical diagnostics and bioprocessing applications requiring simultaneous separation of multiple tube types and volumes (3, 5, 7, and 10 mL). It supports a high throughput of up to 150 samples and can centrifuge up to 76 tubes per run. Featuring automatic lid closure, the unit operates on dual voltage inputs (230V and 115V at 50/60 Hz) with a power rating of 1000W, ensuring reliable performance in various laboratory environments.

Paired with the Cobas p512 pre-analytic system, this solution automates key pre-centrifugation sample handling workflows critical in molecular diagnostics and synthetic biology research. The p512 accurately identifies tube types, monitors liquid levels, detects spin status to verify centrifugation completion, and evaluates sample integrity by identifying hemolytic, lipemic, icteric, and normal specimens. This integrated system is widely adopted in biotechnology and clinical laboratory setups emphasizing bioprocessing accuracy, molecular cloning workflows, and biomanufacturing quality control.

Together, the Cobas p471 and p512 streamline sample processing, reduce manual errors, and enhance productivity in high-throughput environments, making them essential equipment for biomedical engineering, clinical diagnostics, and advanced cell imaging laboratories.
