BIOS 16 and A Bioprocessing Centrifuges with Innovative GreenCool Technology

Thermo Scientific BIOS 16 and BIOS A Centrifuges are high-capacity centrifuges specifically designed for large-capacity and bioprocessing applications. These innovative floor-standing instruments incorporate GreenCool Technology, utilizing a natural CO₂ refrigerant cooling system that complies with upcoming EU and US EPA F-gas regulations. This refrigerant boasts a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of 1, significantly reducing the environmental impact of centrifuge operation. Additionally, GreenCool technology offers reduced energy consumption, reducing operational costs, rapid cool-down times, and excellent temperature stability.

Available in two models, these centrifuges offer the flexibility to select higher capacity rotors or match existing workflows, with a choice of nine Thermo Scientific rotors:

• BIOS 16: Capacity of up to 8 x 2L. Maximum speed/ RCF: 5,400 rpm/ 8,500 x g, supporting a variety of bottles, tubes and bioprocess containers
• BIOS A: Capacity of up to 10 x 1L. Maximum speed/ RCF: 6,250 rpm/ 12,000 x g, supporting 1L bottles, with Fiberlite rotor

Both models are made in Germany, a certified zero-waste facility using 100% renewable energy.

The BIOS series provides outstanding capacity for large-volume processing while maintaining user-friendly operation and global compliance standards. Enhanced ergonomics, reduced noise levels, and lighter weight contribute to an improved laboratory environment. The centrifuges are compatible with various rotors, buckets, liners, adapters, consumables, and software, offering a comprehensive solution for efficient and sustainable bioprocessing in modern facilities.

Thermo Scientific features:

• GreenCool Technology: Natural refrigerant cooling system providing up to 15% energy savings compared to the previous model, decreases operational costs.
• Auto-Door Function: Open and close the centrifuge door automatically using simple push-button operation.
• Auto-Lid Function: Instant rotor opening and closing with lid storage for enhanced user convenience.
• Accumulated Centrifugal Effect (ACE) Function: Automatically adjusts run time to account for and eliminate acceleration/deceleration variations that could otherwise lead to incomplete separation of platelets.
• Centri-Touch Interface: Bright, highly visible, and glove-friendly display provides intuitive control and data visualization, simplifying run set-up with the Thermo Scientific Centri-Cross function to convert your existing protocols.
• Eco-Spin Technology: Energy savings of up to 64% using windshielded rotors.
• Data Management: Compatible with Centri-Log Plus data management software for FDA 21 CFR Part 11 compliance.
• Connectivity: Centri-Vue™ Application for instant remote monitoring and control.
