Do you believe new high-speed equipment significantly improves the efficiency of your laboratory research workflow?
Eppendorf has officially launched the SpinPro 8 R, a refrigerated, floor-standing high-speed centrifuge designed for large-scale laboratory operations. This system acts as the direct successor to the company’s CR22N centrifuge model.
Why it matters
The system addresses industry needs for managing high-volume, temperature-sensitive samples while maintaining compliance in regulated environments. Its design reflects a broader shift toward integrating software-traceable data management into physical laboratory hardware.
The unit supports capacities up to 6 x 1 L or 4 x 1.5 L, featuring a 7-inch interface. Its cooling system utilizes R744 refrigerant, which has a Global Warming Potential of 1 and an Ozone Depletion Potential of 0.
The players
Eppendorf
A global life science company that manufactures instruments and consumables for cell, liquid, and sample handling in research and clinical laboratories.
The details
The SpinPro 8 R utilizes an electronic architecture to support connectivity and software updates, a departure from the static design of its predecessor. The system integrates existing rotor compatibility from the Centrifuge CR22N while introducing two specialized rotors: the R5SS3 swing-bucket rotor and the R5A fixed-angle harvesting rotor. For regulatory compliance, the device includes an AuditSafe Mode, a software feature that generates traceable, secure run records for audit logs.
