Description
Process the optimal capacity for small to medium size blood processing centers with the ability to spin 4 or 8 blood bags in a wide range of bag configurations when using the Thermo Scientific™ Sorvall™ RC4 Low-Speed Floor Model Centrifuge, a flexible refrigerated centrifuge for blood banking and clinical applications. Using flexible accessory systems, it spins everything from doubles to 500mL quints with in-line leukoreduction filters. A versatile performer, the RC-4 is in a class of its own.
High-Throughput and Versatiliy
- Spins larger numbers of tubes at higher RCFs than competing models
- Powerful induction drive and optional swinging bucket rotor (which accommodates DoubleSpin buckets) combine to provide higher RCFs and capacities for the most popular sample formats
- Exceptional capacity for all popular sample formats, including 15 and 50mL tissue culture tubes, and many others. A wide range of rotors makes it suitable for biochemistry, biotechnology, microbiology, pharmaceutical and blood processing labs
Safe Operation
- The RC4 meets stringent international safety standards. It offers a wide selection of independently tested biocontainment rotors that comply with rigorous international guidelines for aerosol containment of bacteria and viruses
Optimal Run Stability
- The Thermo Scientific™ SMARTspin™ Imbalance Detection System automatically brakes unit if an excessive imbalance is detected, for example, due to tube leakage
- The reliable imbalance detection means that even large swinging-bucket rotors can operate safely with a 30g imbalance
Easy to Use
- EASYcontrol™ II Soft-Touch Keypad is located at the front of the instrument, eliminating awkward reaching
- Soft-Touch Lid Lock allows effortless opening and closing
- Intuitive operator keypad allows you to recall up to 9 protocols
Key Features
- Max capacity of 4 x 1000mL bottles, 8 x 500mL blood bags or 4 to 8 standard microplates
- Fastest processing and highest throughput of any 4L low-speed centrifuge
- Unmatched RCFs with fixed-angle rotors for bacterial, tissue culture and general pelleting needs
- Enhanced user safety: choose from 4 biocontainment rotors accommodating samples from 1.5 to 1000mL
- HIGHplate™ rotor spins DNA/RNA filter plates to 85mm in height
- Optimum run stability with SMARTspin™ Imbalance Detection System
- Reduced maintenance with brushless induction drive
- Whisper quiet operation at a noise level under 58dBA
