AnTing TGL-16aR High-Speed Refrigerated Benchtop Centrifuge

Overview

The AnTing TGL-16aR is a high-speed refrigerated benchtop centrifuge engineered for precision separation of biological, biochemical, and pharmaceutical samples under controlled thermal conditions. It operates on the principle of sedimentation centrifugation—applying radial acceleration to accelerate phase separation based on particle density, size, and shape in solution. With a maximum rotational speed of 16,000 rpm and a peak relative centrifugal force (RCF) of 17,170 ×g, the TGL-16aR delivers reproducible pelleting of subcellular organelles, nucleic acids, proteins, and microorganisms. Its integrated refrigeration system maintains sample integrity by sustaining temperatures between –20 °C and +30 °C during operation—critical for heat-sensitive biomolecules such as enzymes, plasmids, and RNA. Designed for routine use in quality control laboratories, academic research facilities, and small-scale bioprocessing environments, the unit complies with core mechanical safety standards applicable to Class II laboratory centrifuges per IEC 61010-2-020.

Key Features

• Reinforced engineering plastic housing—lightweight yet structurally stable, minimizing vibration transmission and enhancing operational smoothness at high speeds
• Microprocessor-controlled temperature regulation with real-time display and ±1 °C accuracy across the full –20 °C to +30 °C range
• Electronic door interlock system ensuring rotor containment and operator safety; automatically halts rotation if lid is opened mid-run
• Precision brushless DC motor delivering consistent torque and extended service life with low acoustic emission (<65 dB at 1 m)
• Intuitive digital interface with rotary encoder for precise time (0–99 min), speed (100–16,000 rpm), and temperature setpoint adjustment
• Dynamic imbalance detection and automatic deceleration protocol to prevent mechanical stress during asymmetric loading

Sample Compatibility & Compliance

The TGL-16aR accommodates standard 1.5 mL microcentrifuge tubes in its fixed-angle rotor configuration—optimized for rapid pelleting of small-volume samples including cell lysates, serum supernatants, PCR products, and nanoparticle suspensions. The rotor geometry ensures minimal sample resuspension upon braking and facilitates efficient tube ejection post-run. While not certified to ISO 13485 or FDA 21 CFR Part 11 out-of-the-box, the instrument supports GLP/GMP-aligned workflows through audit-ready operational logs (when paired with external data capture systems) and adherence to ISO 22870:2016 requirements for point-of-care and laboratory centrifuge performance verification. All electrical components meet CE marking directives (EMC Directive 2014/30/EU and Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU).

Software & Data Management

The TGL-16aR operates via embedded firmware without proprietary PC software dependency. All run parameters—including speed, RCF, temperature, duration, and elapsed time—are stored in non-volatile memory for the last 100 cycles. Optional RS-232 or USB-to-serial interfaces enable integration with laboratory information management systems (LIMS) for automated parameter logging and electronic record retention. When deployed in regulated environments, users may implement supplementary validation protocols—including IQ/OQ documentation templates aligned with ASTM E2500–13—to establish traceability, repeatability, and compliance with internal SOPs or regional regulatory expectations (e.g., EU Annex 11, USP ).

Applications

• Preparative isolation of bacterial and mammalian cell pellets from culture media
• Clarification of crude lysates prior to chromatographic purification or electrophoresis
• Concentration of viral particles, exosomes, and extracellular vesicles
• Routine purification of plasmid DNA and total RNA using silica-membrane or alcohol-precipitation workflows
• Separation of lipid emulsions, colloidal nanoparticles, and polymer dispersions in materials science labs
• Stabilization of thermolabile reagents during cold-chain sample processing in clinical diagnostics

FAQ

What is the minimum and maximum operating temperature range?
The refrigeration system maintains a stable chamber temperature between –20 °C and +30 °C, adjustable in 1 °C increments.
Can the TGL-16aR accommodate 2.0 mL tubes or PCR strips?
No—the rotor is specifically designed for 1.5 mL conical microcentrifuge tubes; adapter-based configurations are not supported in the standard delivery package.
Is rotor calibration required before first use?
Yes. Users must verify rotor identification and perform a no-load spin test at 10,000 rpm for 2 minutes to confirm mechanical stability and thermal equilibrium prior to sample loading.
Does the unit support continuous operation mode?
No—it is rated for intermittent duty cycles only; maximum continuous run time is 99 minutes per cycle, followed by mandatory cooldown intervals to preserve compressor longevity.
How is compliance with international safety standards documented?
CE Declaration of Conformity (DoC) is provided with shipment; full test reports per IEC 61010-1 and IEC 61010-2-020 are available upon request from the authorized distributor.
