What types of rotors are typically compatible with a Sigma 2-15?

The Sigma 2-15 is commonly compatible with various swing-out and fixed-angle rotors, allowing for versatility in sample processing. Buyers should confirm the specific rotor included with the unit.

Is this centrifuge suitable for high-speed applications?

The Sigma 2-15 is designed for moderate-speed separation tasks. For applications requiring very high g-forces, a different class of centrifuge may be more appropriate.

What maintenance is typically required for a unit like this?

With an induction drive, maintenance is generally low. Regular cleaning, inspection of rotors and buckets for wear, and ensuring proper ventilation are typical requirements.

Can this unit store multiple programs?

Many configurations of the Sigma 2-15 feature program memory, typically allowing for storage of up to 10 user-defined programs for repeatable processes.

Does this centrifuge have safety features?

Units of this type commonly include safety features such as magnetic rotor identification to prevent overspeeding and lid interlocks to ensure safe operation.

The Sigma 2‑15 is a benchtop (tabletop) laboratory centrifuge produced by Sigma (Sigma Laborzentrifugen GmbH), designed for moderate-speed separation tasks across various scientific and industrial settings

Key Features & Specifications:

Purpose: Used to separate sample components (e.g., cells, sediments) through centrifugal force—ideal when high speed isn't required

Power & Voltage: Operates at 240 W, 220–240 V, 50 Hz

Speed:

Centrifuge motor: up to 13,500 rpm.

Rotor-specific max: up to 15,300 rpm, depending on rotor type

Capacity:

Typical configuration includes 4 buckets, each capable of holding up to 100 ml (e.g., rotor 11192 with buckets 13012)

Some versions deploy a fixed-angle rotor (e.g., 12189) with capacity around 480 g

Dimensions: Compact footprint of approximately 33 × 43 × 30 cm (W × D × H)

Other Features:

Microcontroller-based control of speed and time.

Multiple acceleration/deceleration curves and program memory (up to 10 programs) in some configurations

Magnetic rotor identification (prevents overspeeding) and induction drive for low maintenance
