Micro-ultracentrifuge for high-speed sample separation
Achieve precision separation and maximize yield with high-speed micro-ultracentrifuges, designed to handle delicate molecular biology samples like nucleic acids and viral vectors efficiently, ensuring optimal purity and intactness for advanced research applications.

The Centrifuge CS150FNX and CS150NX Series from Eppendorf are compact micro-ultracentrifuges that deliver exceptional performance in high-speed separation tasks. Operating up to 1,050,000 x g, they are ideal for processing nucleic acids, proteins, and viruses, serving crucial roles in pharmaceutical development, biotechnology research, and clinical trials. These centrifuges offer flexibility with floorstanding and benchtop models, ensuring seamless integration into varied laboratory environments. Featuring a user-friendly touch interface and a self-locking rotor system, they enhance usability and safety by eliminating the need for rotor keys. The non-contact imbalance sensor guarantees safe operation by monitoring vibrations, while the thermo-module cooling system maintains temperature stability between 0°C to +40°C. Certified for GMP and FDA compliance, the CS series supports GxP/GLP laboratories with programmable settings and user-based access control. Durable and efficient, these units operate quietly at noise levels below 45 dB(A), allowing uninterrupted focus in busy labs. With customizable rotor options and comprehensive engineering support, Eppendorf provides a tailored solution to meet the rigorous demands of life sciences and molecular biology applications.
