Dear Customer,

Congratulations on your purchase of a SIGMA laboratory centrifuge. You have selected a

device that combines many advantages.

The SIGMA 2-16P is a microprocessor-controlled universal laboratory centrifuge. The

electronic operation control enables a trouble-free use of the centrifuge. With its quiet 3-

phase maintenance-free drive, operation without any carbon dust pollution is guaranteed.

Your device is equipped with user-friendly options that make the operation and standard

settings easier for you. Built-in error-detecting functions keep the user from entering

erroneous values and they also check the entire operation.

All of the settings are executed via the control panel with a coated surface that protects the

device against moisture and dust. In addition, the interior of the centrifuge is also rather easy

to clean. We offer you a device that combines functional variety along with practical

applications.

Our centrifuges are carefully manufactured according to the highest quality standards, in

which we are certain that your demands will always be met.

We wish you much success in the use of the centrifuge.
