Thermo Labofuge 400R Centrifuge
HERAEUS® LABOFUGE® 400 R GENERAL PURPOSE CENTRIFUGES
Great value and functionality for routine work
The Labofuge® 400 tabletop centrifuge and the refrigerated version, the
Labofuge® 400 R, are ideal for centrifuging average sized samples in routine laboratory
applications in the fields of research, biology and medicine.
Thanks to an extensive range of rotors and accessories, these centrifuges can be used for
practically every separation task: from highspeed centrifugation in microliter tubes to
gentle sedimentation of animal cell cultures in conical tissue culture tubes. Of course, the
right capacity is also available for your particular needs. The swinging bucket rotor can
handle, for example, 36 x 7 ml tubes, 12 x 15 ml conical tissue culture tubes or 28 x 15
ml tubes for aerosol tight centrifugation.
A unique feature of this series is the rotor for centrifuging microplates. The rotor is
designed with a radius of 15 cm (5.9 inch) so that the microplates can swing out
vertically. The sediment is concentrated in the center of the wells for easy and accurate
photometric analysis.
Accessories
We have developed safety carts for the Labofuge® 400 and Labofuge® 400 R so that
they can be used in an underbench set-up or as mobile tabletop units.
Service
Heraeus® centrifuges are designed for everyday use in the laboratory.
The digital self-diagnosis program monitors the Labofuge® 400 and the Labofuge® 400
R and immediately indicates failures on the display. The Labofuge® 400 can also take a
rotor which holds 2 microplates. Used together with a 24-place fixed angle rotor for
1.5/2.0 ml microliter tubes, the Labofuge® 400 is transformed into a highspeed microliter
centrifuge. Adapter sets, enabling centrifugation of all commercially available microliter
tubes from 0.2 ml to 0.6 ml, are available as an option. The polypropylene plastic rotor
can be autoclaved and offers wide ranging chemical resistance.

Biocontainment
As an alternative, the rotor can be sealed with an aerosol tight screw lid for applications
involving radioactive or infectious materials. A snap lid for quick closing and an aerosol
tight lid are both included. The swinging bucket rotor’s round buckets can also be sealed
with aerosol tight screw caps. A 24-place haematocrit rotor for determining exact
haematocrit values can also be used in the Labofuge® 400.1)
LABOFUGE 400R
In many separation tasks, it is essential to maintain a constant sample
temperature. The Labofuge® 400 R ensures low temperatures (0 – 4 °C) even during
long runs or centrifugation at high speeds. The Labofuge® 400 R operates with the same
versatile range of rotors and accessories as the Labofuge® 400, but achieves significantly
higher speeds.
A microprocessor controlled temperature surveillance system prevents
samples from freezing. For example, if samples are kept in the closed rotor chamber of
the Labofuge® 400 R for an extended period of time after centrifugation, there is no
danger of freezing despite standstill cooling. Of course, the Labofuge® 400 R operates
with the CFC-free refrigerant, R134a.
