Thermo Fisher Scientific - Thermo Scientific Heraeus Biofuge Primo

• Separation of biological samples in research laboratories.
• Processing of clinical samples in diagnostic settings.
• Preparation of cell cultures in biotechnology applications.
• Purification of proteins and nucleic acids in molecular biology workflows.

Typical capacity

Commonly accommodates multiple tube sizes, typically up to 4 x 100ml or various microplates, depending on the rotor installed.

Power supply

Units of this type typically operate on standard laboratory power, commonly 230V, 50Hz for the UK market.

Temperature control

As a refrigerated model, it typically offers temperature control from -9°C to +40°C, maintaining sample integrity.

Maximum RCF

For this class of benchtop centrifuge, maximum RCF can typically range from 15,000 x g to over 20,000 x g, depending on the rotor.

Footprint

Designed for benchtop use, these units typically have a compact footprint, suitable for laboratories with limited space.

Rotor compatibility

Commonly compatible with a range of interchangeable rotors, including swing-out and fixed-angle types, for diverse applications.

• What types of samples can this centrifuge process?

  This centrifuge is typically suitable for processing a wide range of biological and clinical samples, including blood, urine, cell cultures, and DNA/RNA preparations.

• Is refrigeration essential for my application?

Centrifuges are valued across laboratories and biotech facilities for reliable sample separation. Buyers typically prioritise rotor compatibility, temperature stability in refrigerated models, and ease of maintenance when purchasing used units. Industry sentiment reflects appreciation for durable construction and consistent performance. Key considerations include verifying motor condition, checking calibration history, and confirming availability of compatible rotors. Well-maintained examples offer strong value and longevity, though wear on seals and bearings warrants inspection. Speed range and capacity alignment with intended applications remains important for operational efficiency.
