Description:

The GS-6R marries the Allegra swing-bucket architecture to a compressor drawer that chills the 6-litre chamber to 23 °F—ideal for plasma preps that can’t warm above room temperature. Fixed-angle rotors sprint to 6 100 rpm (5 710 ×g), while the GH-3.8 four-bucket rotor hauls four 750 mL bottles at 4 730 rpm. Electronic imbalance detection drops a disc brake that halts a full load in under 60 s. A sealed front panel keeps aerosols out of the electronics and shows speed, RCF and countdown on ½-inch LEDs readable through a biosafety hood. All rotors share the same three-point yoke drive, trimming accessory cost, and the −5 °C to 25 °C set-point locks once run begins, protecting temperature-sensitive proteins.

Economic Advantage:

Because it accepts everything from 1.5 mL tubes to 3 L canisters, most labs replace two niche centrifuges with one GS-6R. The fast 4.5-minute cool-down from 752 °F to 122 °F slashes idle time, yielding nearly one extra spin per hour and paying back the refrigeration premium in under a year.
