What type of samples is this centrifuge suitable for?

This benchtop centrifuge is designed for moderate-speed separation tasks, suitable for a range of laboratory samples where high-speed ultracentrifugation is not required, such as cell pellets or precipitates.

Are rotors and accessories included with the unit?

The listing indicates 'Centrifuge + Accessories Shown'. Buyers should confirm with the seller precisely which rotors, buckets, and adapters are included with this specific unit.

Can this unit be used for refrigerated applications?

The Sigma 2-15 model is typically a non-refrigerated benchtop centrifuge. For refrigerated applications, a different model or category of centrifuge would be required.

What maintenance is typically required for this type of centrifuge?

Units with an induction drive generally require minimal motor maintenance. Regular cleaning, inspection of rotors and seals, and calibration checks are standard for laboratory centrifuges.

Is this centrifuge suitable for continuous operation?

Benchtop centrifuges like the Sigma 2-15 are generally designed for batch processing rather than continuous flow. The duty cycle will depend on the specific application and temperature considerations.

This listing is for the Sigma 2-15 Centrifuge.

+Accessories Shown.

The unit is in full working condition and is ready for immediate use.

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.

This benchtop centrifuge is designed for moderate-speed separation tasks, suitable for a range of laboratory samples where high-speed ultracentrifugation is not required, such as cell pellets or precipitates.

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.
