Process 40% more 50mL conical tubes or 100% more blood tubes with the Thermo Scientific Megafuge 40 Centrifuge, offering exceptional capacity, ergonomic features, and value for routine sample processing on the benchtop

Whether your lab performs quick pulse spins, clinical applications, or the most challenging research separations, you will find a benchtop centrifuge from Thermo Scientific™ that is up to the task. We have organized our benchtop centrifuges into five categories. Each centrifuge category also offers many choices of compatible rotors, ventilation or refrigeration, and biocontainment options. Proprietary design innovations enable safe, simple, and comfortable operation every day. 

Centrifuge for Cell Culture, Blood processing, Microplates

Easy to Use

  • Intuitive controls simplify operation and provide detailed information on a wide range of operating parameters and processing status for optimal performance.
  • Proprietary motorized lid latch enables one finger downward motion for the easiest closing and locking of centrifuge lid, even on tall benches.

Thermo Scientific Auto–Lock III Rotor System

  • Secure locking system for easy push-button installation and exchange of rotors
  • Saves time switching between applications
  • Easy access to rotor chamber for quick cleaning, a healthier working environment, and longer unit life

Thermo Scientific ClickSeal Bucket Sealing System

  • Biocontainment solution that seals with a snap, eliminating screw caps and complicated clips
  • Glove-friendly, one-handed open/close capability
  • Certified by CAMR in Porton Down, UK

Thermo Scientific SMARTSpin Technology

  • Advanced rotor management system maximizes acceleration, braking and residual load imbalance for each rotor and bucket option.
  • System optimizes safety and improves separations.

Space-Savings Design

  • Compact dimensions optimize work area.
  • Ergonomic height and curved design ensure easy sample loading and unloading and easy cleaning.

Outstanding Energy Efficiency

Up to 40% energy consumption savings on industry-standard protocols, such as standard blood separation or conical tubes processing
