Is now a good time for laboratories to upgrade to new high-capacity centrifuge technology?
Eppendorf has announced the launch of the SpinPro 8 R, a high-speed floor-standing centrifuge designed for large-volume laboratory processing. The device incorporates integrated himac centrifugation technology and will be available for purchase at the end of September 2026.
Why it matters
This release addresses the industry shift toward sustainable laboratory equipment by replacing traditional refrigerants with CO2-based cooling. The system is engineered to meet increasing requirements for high-capacity workflows in research and diagnostic environments.
The system offers a maximum capacity of 6 L and operates within a temperature range of -20 C to 40 C. The R5A rotor reaches speeds of 5,300 rpm and 6,110 by g, utilizing an electronic architecture that supports standard JSON-RPC protocols for LIMS connectivity.
The players
Eppendorf
A global life science company providing laboratory instruments, consumables, and automated liquid handling systems.
The details
The centrifuge utilizes CO2-based cooling technology with a Global Warming Potential (GWP—a measure of a gas's heat-trapping ability) of 1, aligning with updated EU F-gas regulations. An updated electronic architecture enables software updates and direct integration with LIMS (Laboratory Information Management Systems—software used to track samples and data). Users navigate the system via a 7-inch touch display featuring a 13-language interface.
Timeline
September 30, 2026: The SpinPro 8 R launch was officially announced.
End of September 2026: The product becomes available for commercial purchase.
