Sigma 3-18KT

A premium-class all-rounder with touch controls

The Sigma 3-18KT is the perfect choice for users with strict demands in terms of performance and process reliability in the smallest of spaces. It scores points with a versatile range of rotors, a centrifugal force of over 30,000 g, a guaranteed sample temperature of 4 °C at maximum speed, as well as a high level of user-friendliness and features designed for the discerning user.

One of its highlights is the fixed-angle rotor for 8 x 50 ml conical vessels. The FA-8x50-V complies with the latest aerosol-tightness standard, features the innovative RapidTurn lid mechanism for quick and convenient opening and closing, boasts the highest capacity in its class, and ensures the pellet is centred thanks to its 40° angle.

The Spincontrol T Expert control system features an intuitive menu navigation system and combines the full range of functions offered by the Spincontrol T with additional options to ensure maximum process reliability, precision and efficiency: Quality management functionality, export of operating data via USB stick, retrieval of service-related data via QR code, use of the “Sigma Timer” app, as well as optional user management and export mode.

The Sigma 3-18KT is committed to sustainability. In addition to its efficient refrigeration system, which is controlled precisely to meet demand, it offers the ECO Mode feature as an additional option for saving energy and reducing costs. This allows the refrigeration system to switch off automatically and the display to dim after a preset time. The welcome side effect is a quieter laboratory environment and a longer service life for the refrigeration system.
