Eppendorf has expanded its centrifuge portfolio with the launch of the new SpinPro 8 R, a refrigerated, floor-standing high-speed centrifuge designed for demanding high-volume workflows.
As the successor to the Centrifuge CR22N, the SpinPro 8 R combines established performance and rotor compatibility with a 7-inch user interface, sustainable CO2 based cooling, traceable run documentation, and connectivity options.
The SpinPro 8 R is the first new floor-standing centrifuge developed since himac became part of the Eppendorf Group and its product portfolio. Drawing on himac’s long-standing centrifugation knowledge and Eppendorf’s expertise across the full range of centrifugation solutions, it marks an important step in the continued development of high-performance centrifuges for laboratories worldwide.
Large-volume centrifugation rarely follows one neat path. The SpinPro 8 R brings true high-speed capability and capacities of up to 4 × 1.5 L or 6 × 1 L into one compact floor-standing system, helping laboratories keep more of their workflow on one centrifuge instead of splitting it across multiple instruments.
Designed for biotechnology, pharmaceutical and high-capacity academic research laboratories, the SpinPro 8 R supports cell harvest, large-volume processing and other demanding separation tasks – including work with temperature-sensitive samples and workflows in regulated environments.
The rotor portfolio supports changing applications and vessel formats. The SpinPro 8 R remains compatible with the more than 30 rotors available for the Centrifuge CR22N and adds two new options:
- Rotor R5SS3 swing-bucket rotor: Operates at up to 4,700 rpm and 4,830 × g. Based on the Rotor S-4x750 from Eppendorf’s benchtop portfolio, it supports a wider range of vessel formats through available adapters, buckets, and compatible consumables
- Rotor R5A fixed-angle harvesting rotor: Operates at up to 5,300 rpm and 6,110 × g with a capacity of 6 × 1,000 mL. It is compatible with 1,000 mL Nalgene bottles and offers an alternative to 4 × 1.5 L configurations when established protocols or standard operating procedures require the common 1 L format.
Both rotors are backwards compatible to fit Centrifuge CR22N and Rotor R5SS3 will be available in a version fitting Centrifuge CR30NX.
The SpinPro 8 R features a new, larger 7-inch touch display and a modern, intuitive user interface. Thirteen onboard languages support use across international laboratory environments, while programs, favourites and user management make routine operation easier to organise.
The SpinPro 8 R will be available for purchase at the end of September 2026.
