The Equipement : Simple & versatile
Special features of AFI Centrifuge equipments
Maxi versatility and speed
AFI equipment evolves at the same time as your applications: they bring you the versatility to switch easily from one application to another.
Configuration choices
The versatility of our equipment, including the swingout rotor, allows you to mix the accessories according to your needs:
High-performance speed
Swing-out rotor : 5 350 x g max
Microplate rotor : 6 072 x g max
Angular rotor : 30 980 x g max
Microplate rotor : 6 072 x g max
Angular rotor : 30 980 x g max
Clickspin™ system
All rotors are equipped with the exclusive Clickspin™ system, allowing you to quickly and easily change the rotor.
Quick-change applications
Change the rotor very easily and quickly thanks to the simplicity of the Clickspin™ system.
No tools required
Turn and pull: your rotor is removed and changed without tools and without effort.
Automatic recognition of the rotor
Detection takes from 2 to 10 seconds, depending on the type of rotor.
There is no possible error in the choice of the parameters for the preparation of your samples.

Intelligent and secure control center
The control center is the heart of the centrifuge: the touchscreen and all electronic components containing the user’s data are integrated.
Data traceability
Recording of information: history, programs, number of cycles, errors…
Sample protection
Double password protection is possible on programs and on the opening of the centrifuge.
Quick and easy data recovery
The immediate restoration of data is possible through the transfer of the electronic system of one to another.
Preventive maintenance
The centrifuge notifies the user of the need to lubricate the system.
Intuitive control panel
The combination of a touch screen and a start/stop button allows you to program and use the centrifuge very easily, without risk of error or loss of data.
Touch screen
Very simple to use, with or without gloves, it allows a fast user adoption.
User-friendly interface
A set of explicit icons guides the user in the daily use of the machine. It also allows a quick access to menus and information.
Quick program change
Memorise up to 100 different centrifugation programs:
Time, speed, FCR, temperature, acceleration, deceleration…
Work at the right temperature
AFI centrifuges assists the user in the temperature management of his samples.
Maximum 37°
The performance of the ventilation system on the ventilated model ensures a temperature below 37 ° C in the centrifuge.
4 ° C at any speed, for any accessory
On the refrigerated model, the power of the refrigeration system ensures a temperature of 4°C with any accessory at any speed (select quick pre-cool or pre-cool programs). The treatment of your temperature sensitive samples is optimized.
Optimize the repeatability of centrifugation
Our centrifuges are fitted with the Power Factor Correction (PFC) system. It maximizes the power of the centrifuge and allows perfect centrifugation in repeatability.
Worldwide Electrical Compatibility
The PFC automatically corrects voltage and current differences from the supply. In the event of a significant variation in your electrical network, the voltage supply remains constant in components, which maximizes the lifetime of centrifuge components.
