In recent few days, a lot of biotechnology specialists have asked me, which is the best centrifuge for Industry and laboratory use. For that reason, I have studied a lot of centrifuges specification, made in Europe, USA, ASIA and one of the biggest bio technology producing country-India.

In my opinion, the European equipments have a good quality, but there is not very well about modern technology development. I will give you the specific example, by comparing specificaton of Carl Padberg's CEPA Z61 and PENNWALT's AS Super Centrifuge. From following compared specification, you will understand Pennwalt's AS-16 is very modern technology rather that Carl Padberg's Z61. Also, Pennwalt AS-16's feature is one the modern technology, which includes Dirt bowl and Steam Sterilization-in-place.
