Thermo Scientific Megafuge 16 Centrifuge
Maximum Speed 15,200 RPM (25,830 x g RCF)
Weight without Rotor 57.5 kg
- The Heraeus Megafuge 16 is an in-vitro diagnostics device according to the In-Vitro Diagnostics Directive 98/79/EC.
- The maintenance-free induction motor ensures quiet and low-vibration operation even at high speeds, and guarantees a very long lifetime. It also ensures the set speed is reached within seconds.
- A user-friendly control panel makes it easy to pre-set the speed, RCF value, running time, temperature, and running profile (9 acceleration and 10 braking curves).
- Integrated rotor detection systems ensures that no inadmissible speed settings can be preselected.
- The electronic imbalance recognition ensures any imbalance will be indicated a speed higher than 300RPM and the run will terminate automatically.
The Thermo Scientific Heraeus Megafuge 16 Centrifuge is a refrigerated centrifuge designed with the user in mind. The user-friendly control panel makes it easy to pre-set the speed, RCF value, running time, and running profile. The set speed is reached within seconds. The Megafuge 16 can reach maximum speeds of 15,200 RPM and maximum RCF of 25,830 x g. The maintenance-free induction motor ensures quiet and low-vibration operation even at high speeds, and guarantees a very long lifetime. We may have different adapters available depending on the rotor chosen with this centrifuge. If the selected rotor includes adapters that will not work for your application, please inquire.
All of our equipment is in excellent condition and will be fully tested to perform at factory specifications before being shipped.
The Thermo Scientific Megafuge 16 Centrifuge includes:
- > Rotor Selected Above
- > NIST Centrifuge Calibration and Preventative Maintenance Report
- > Operator's Guide
- > Power Cord
- > Full 180 Day Parts and Labor Warranty

- Confirm the power supply output voltages match specified requirements for stable distribution to all internal components
- Measure and verify voltages at PCB test points to ensure accurate power delivery and circuit integrity
- Confirm rotor compatibility with the centrifuge model and check that rotor detection systems recognize the rotor type
- Inspect the exterior for any cosmetic or structural damage that could affect performance or safety
- Check the door mechanism alignment to ensure secure and smooth opening and closing
- Inspect and replace the gas strut with an OEM part to maintain proper door support and safety
- Examine the rotor chamber bowl for dents or damage and replace as needed to ensure safe operation
- Replace and confirm full functionality of all lid lock switches to maintain secure closure
- Inspect and lubricate the door lock mechanism, applying grease to the lid lock rail for smooth operation
- Test compressor functionality (if applicable) to ensure proper operation and consistent temperature control
- Conduct an 8-12 hour cycle test to validate consistent performance over prolonged use
- Confirm rotor motor stability, check for unusual noise, and assess mechanical integrity during operation
- Inspect the condensation drain and clear any clogs to prevent moisture buildup in the rotor chamber
- Verify RPM accuracy using an NIST-traceable tachometer and perform calibration as necessary
