The compact Heraeus Biofuge Stratos is a versatile refrigerated high speed tabletop centrifuge that incorporates advanced drive technology usually found only in expensive floor model centrifuges. The Stratos features a whisper-quiet spindle drive - unique for a tabletop centrifuge - that allows 9 different fixed-angle, microliter, swinging bucket and microplate rotor types to be spun at speeds to 23,300 rpm (50,377 x g).
Spindle drive technology enables very short acceleration and braking times for faster sample throughput, and significantly extends instrument life. Imbalance sensitivity is reduced to the point where tubes can be balanced by eye alone, and sample disturbance under breaking is kept to a minimum.
Sample capacity ranges from 4 x 180 ml (or four microplates) in the instrument’s swinging bucket rotors to a maximum of 24 x 1.5 or 2 ml tubes in microliter rotors. The rotor inventory of the Stratos also spans four different biocontained fixed-angle varieties. A wide range of adapters is available for popular tube sizes down to 0.2ml.
