Optimizing Transfusion Medicine: Blood Bag Centrifuges
In modern transfusion medicine, the aim is to transfuse the patient with only the component required.
Centrifuges for blood bags are key instruments specifically developed for blood banks and transfusion facilities.
Designed to separate whole blood into red blood cells, plasma and platelets
Efficient processing of large quantities of blood: with a maximum capacity of up to 12 x 1.000 ml or 12 blood bag systems per run.
Quality management functions and connections
Smooth operation for reliable and reproducible sedimentation results
Acceleration and deceleration curve programming as desired

12 litre capacity for production or high-capacity research
The Sigma 8KS is a refrigerated floor-standing
compact stand-alone refrigerated
centrifuge that is ideal for all-purpose use in the industrial or for all tasks in blood banks, medicine and research sectors. This high-performance centrifuge features impressive capacity of up to 12 x 1,000 ml in a swing-out rotor or 6 x 1,000 ml in a fixed-angle rotor. With a maximum RCF of 20,461 x g, even demanding separation processes can be handled efficiently. Particularly thanks to the ability to use large-volume fixed-angle rotors with high RCF, the Sigma 8KS cover a distinctly broader spectrum of applications compared to competitive units.
The motorized lid lock and its patented one-button control (Spincontrol S) makes the Sigma 8KS especially easy to use. The centrifuge has a low loading height, is pleasantly quiet in operation, and has low power consumption.
This Air-cooled version with compressor is also available in water-cooled version.
946-mL bottles of Solution 555™ Rotor Cleaning Concentrate, minimum order 2 bottles.
Beckman Solution 555 (339555) is a mild and efficient detergent that won’t damage the rotors.
Under normal use, as part of the day-to-day care and maintenance program, wash the rotor frequently to prevent the buildup of residues.
