High-speed centrifuge for biomass and particle harvesting

Achieve high-speed particle separation and biomass harvesting with precise control, reducing processing time and increasing efficiency in your production line. Ideal for continuous operations requiring rapid cycles and minimal manual handling.

Processes Biomass and Particles with High-Speed Separation

The High-Speed Centrifuge CR30NX by Eppendorf offers robust solutions for a variety of laboratory and industrial applications. It stands out with its capability to achieve up to 110,000 x g, merging into ultracentrifugation territory, making it ideal for precise separation tasks like handling viral particles, organelles, and nanoparticles. With a processing capacity of up to 6 liters per cycle, it caters to high-volume needs in biopharmaceutical and clinical trial settings.

The CR30NX employs an innovative rotor system, supporting both fixed-angle and swing-bucket configurations for versatile use in biomass harvesting and molecular biology processes. Its operations are governed by a touch-sensitive LCD panel, facilitating easy control with up to 1,000 program settings, and ensuring compliance in regulated environments with user management and documentation functions.

Designed for seamless integration into existing workflows, the machine features a self-locking rotor system, immediate rotor ID, and safety measures such as imbalance and overspeed detection. It maintains a refrigerated environment from -20°C to 40°C, preserving sample integrity. The equipment is energy-efficient, using a rotary inverter-driven compressor with a low noise operation below 56 dBA, enhancing work conditions. Available in materials suitable for high-corrosion resistance, it ensures longevity and reliability in demanding bioprocess environments.

Benefits

  • Enhances productivity by processing up to 6 liters per cycle with continuous flow options.
  • Ensures sample integrity with precise temperature control from -20°C to 40°C.
  • Increases operational safety with features like immediate rotor recognition and imbalance detection.
  • Supports regulatory compliance with extensive user management and documentation capabilities.
  • Improves workflow efficiency with reduced handling requirements through fewer rotor and bottle changes.
