Eppendorf has announced the commercial launch of the SpinPro 6 R centrifuge, the first in the new range of SpinPro floor-standing and benchtop centrifuges.
With an advanced user-interface and ergonomic operation, the SpinPro 6 R provides a flexible, and scalable solution for sample separation.
Building on Eppendorf’s established range of benchtop centrifuges, the refrigerated SpinPro 6 R benchtop centrifuge offers additional smart features to streamline workflows including new rotors with universal adapters. These rotors can be interchanged within various models of the upcoming SpinPro line, reducing inventory and minimising costs. With a wide range of compatible vessels, the rotors can support applications such as cell-culture harvesting, processing of biological samples and isolation of proteins across pharma, biotech, food, and agriculture sectors. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) chipped rotors enable instant recognition, increasing safety for both samples and users. All new fixed-angle rotors are equipped with Eppendorf QuickLock Pro lids for fast and easy one-handed operation.
Designed with ergonomics in mind, the SpinPro 6 R is simple to use and easily integrated into existing workflows. Its intuitive software and adaptive seven-inch touch-based display ensure straight-forward set up, while the one-touch operation electric lid drive allows for ergonomic interaction with the device. The SpinPro 6 R is ACT 2.0 labelled, using CO2–based cooling technology without F-gases and full transparency on consumption, production, and sourcing, to contribute to laboratory environmental targets.
Sugish Pillai, EMEA Commercial Product Manager at Eppendorf SE, said: “The new SpinPro 6 R centrifuge is designed to make tedious centrifugation tasks effortless. With the new sustainable cooling technology, Eppendorf QuickLock Pro lids, and advanced compliance options such as documentation and integration with LIMS systems, the SpinPro range is designed to simplify centrifugation in any laboratory setting, reducing risk and error, and accelerating life science research.”
Associate Professor Dr Johannes Grillari, Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for Traumatology, Vienna, Austria, commented: “Our laboratory is looking to purify extracellular vesicles (EVs) from large volumes of cell culture supernatants and have used the SpinPro 6 R to achieve single step centrifugations for 1 L conditioned media. In particular, scaling up using the fixed angle Rotor FA-6x250 ID and swing bucket Rotor S-2xUniversal ID has made our EV isolation protocol less time consuming.”
