The DG1616R Refrigerated Centrifuge: What Buyers Can Verify

DG1616R High Speed Refrigerated Centrifuge

The DG1616R is listed with a maximum speed of 16,000 rpm and maximum RCF of 28,621 × g, with speed adjustable in 1 rpm increments and RCF in 1 × g steps. Run time spans 30 seconds to 99 hours 59 minutes 59 seconds, or continuous operation.

Temperature control is stated at -10°C to 40°C, with cooling from room temperature to 4°C quoted at as fast as 7 minutes. These are the parameters that matter for temperature-sensitive separations.

The unit uses a brushless DC motor with a quoted noise level as low as 70 dB, a 7-inch touchscreen, and nine acceleration and nine deceleration levels. Up to 100 user-defined programs can be stored.

Rotor and adapter options are described as covering 2 mL to 400 mL vessels, including 384-well PCR plates, 96-well microplates, and 8-strip PCR tubes. Because no rotor list is published, buyers should confirm the exact rotor and adapter part numbers required for their tubes.

Certification is claimed as CE, UKCA, FCC, ICES, CB, and cTUVus. For regulated labs, the certificate scope and the supplied declarations should be requested directly rather than assumed.

Stated applications include DNA/RNA extraction, protein purification, cell and microbial pelleting, serum/plasma separation, and environmental and food testing. Target users span biopharma, IVD, CRO/CDMO, hospital central labs, CDC, and industrial QC.

Physical specifications list 1050 W power, 100–240 V at 50/60 Hz, dimensions of 623 × 640 × 375 mm, and 90 kg. Several specification-table fields remain blank, including rotor type, rotor capacity, and safety performance.

Why it matters:
The blank table fields are the procurement risk, not the headline numbers. Confirm rotor compatibility, temperature accuracy, and full certification documents before specifying the DG1616R for a regulated workflow.
