Pharmaceutical & Bioprocess Cellular Production Platforms

Designed by analytical chemists and laboratory scientists, with over 25 years of centrifuge manufacturing behind it. Capacities run from micro to 4 litres, all with bright blue touch screen LCD displays and ω²t as standard for full run repeatability. All centrifuges and rotors carry a 2-year warranty.
