Blood Banking Centrifuges with Increased Capacity

The 16 x 500 mL capacity Thermo Scientific Sorvall BP 8 and 16 blood banking centrifuges are designed to maximise productivity for blood processing centres by offering an increased capacity that exceeds legacy systems by 33%, while maintaining previously validated protocols. In a production environment where ease-of-use as well as operator ergonomics are imperative, these centrifuges save time and reduce physical strain with Auto-Door and Auto-Lid technologies, enabling the opening and closing of the centrifuge door, and removal and restacking of the windshielded rotor lid, to be a seamless, hands-free operation. The Accumulated Centrifugal Effect (ACE) function of the systems automatically adjusts run time to account for and eliminate acceleration/deceleration variations that could otherwise lead to the incomplete separation of platelets. The centrifuges also feature the innovative Eco-Spin technology, which uses windshielded rotors to allow energy savings of up to 64%. All models are CE marked for the Medical Devices Directive 93/42/EEC and are listed with the U.S. FDA. In addition, they conform to the latest global safety standards, including UL listing.
