Centrifuge tables

Sigma centrifuge tables are available in six different sizes. Matched

to the corresponding centrifuge dimensions, they combine conveni-
ent work height with an optimally calculated footprint. The tables are
made from coated sheet steel and are equipped with a storage com-
partment (with two doors) and a convenient pull-out shelf. Lockable
castors allow the centrifuge tables to be easily moved and positioned
in the laboratory.
