Description
Heraeus Megafuge 8R bench centrifuge — 14000 rpm — 21693 ×g is a refrigerated bench-top centrifuge for universal laboratory separation work. The instrument reaches a maximum speed of 14000 1/min and a maximum relative centrifugal force of 21693 × g, supporting demanding sample processing across research and routine laboratory settings. As a bench centrifuge it is intended for placement on a suitable laboratory work surface within the centrifuges and universal centrifuges category of laboratory appliances. The unit is supplied as 1 pc and has a stated weight of 77,000 kg, reflecting a robust chassis typical of high-speed refrigerated bench systems. This Heraeus Megafuge 8R model from manufacturer THERMO SCIENTIFIC combines the stated speed and g-force performance in a single bench platform for laboratories that require defined maximum rpm and RCF values. Use the centrifuge where protocols call for up to 14000 1/min and up to 21693 × g. Clear specification of speed and centrifugal force helps match rotors and applications to instrument capability. Integrate the unit into workflows that need a dedicated high-performance bench centrifuge with the published performance envelope.
This article is part of Benchtop & floor-standing centrifuges, in Centrifuges.

Questions about Heraeus Megafuge 8R bench centrifuge, 14000 1/min, 21693 x g, 1 unit(s)
What is this article?
Heraeus Megafuge 8R bench centrifuge, 14000 1/min, 21693 x g, 1 unit(s) is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes THERMO SCIENTIFIC for laboratory use. It sits in Benchtop & floor-standing centrifuges, inside Centrifuges, in Lab instruments.
A benchtop centrifuge sits on the bench and takes the ordinary tube rotors. A floor-standing model takes larger rotors and higher forces. Capacity, maximum force and which rotors are sold for it are the specification. Refrigeration is a separate choice, for samples that cannot warm.
A centrifuge separates by density. The rotor spins the sample and the force is reported as a multiple of gravity, not as a raw speed, because the same revolutions per minute are a different force at a different radius. A microcentrifuge takes small tubes. A benchtop or floor model takes larger rotors. The tube, the adapter and the rotor have to be the combination the manufacturer rated. An unbalanced load is how centrifuges fail. Measurement of the related quantities sits with the BIPM.
