Sorvall Legend Micro 21R Refrigerated Benchtop Microcentrifuge with Temperature Control

The Sorvall Legend Micro 21R is a refrigerated benchtop microcentrifuge engineered for high-speed processing of micro-volume samples with precise temperature control, essential in molecular biology and biotechnology research. It delivers a maximum speed of 14,800 rpm and a relative centrifugal force (RCF) of up to 21,100 x g, making it widely used in tasks such as molecular cloning, gene editing preparations, and bioprocessing workflows.

Key technical specifications and features include:

• Temperature range: -9 °C to +40 °C adjustable in 1 °C increments, supporting temperature-sensitive protocols essential in molecular diagnostics and synthetic biology.
• Fast acceleration/deceleration: Approximately 10/12 seconds reducing idle time between runs, allowing for rapid cycling in workflows involving biopharmaceutical production.
• Noise level: Quiet operation under 56 dBA permits usage in shared laboratory environments.
• Time settings: Timer from 1 up to 99 minutes with HOLD mode, enabling flexibility in sample processing durations.
• Compact footprint: Measures 11" x 17" x 13" and weighs 61 lbs, fitting easily into crowded laboratory benches without sacrificing performance.
• Flexible rotor compatibility: Supports a variety of microtube formats, expanding usability across diverse sample types in cell imaging, fluorescence analysis, and other biotechnology applications.

This refrigerated microcentrifuge is critical in biomedical engineering and clinical diagnostics where stable cooling and high-speed centrifugation are required for high-quality sample preparation. Its combination of temperature control, rapid acceleration, and high RCF makes the Sorvall Legend Micro 21R a reliable and efficient tool widely adopted by molecular biologists and biotechnologists for advanced research workflows.
