Thermo Fisher Scientific RC 3BP+ Refrigerated Large-Volume Laboratory Centrifuge

The Thermo Fisher Scientific RC 3BP+ refrigerated centrifuge is engineered for large-batch bioprocessing and clinical sample preparation, supporting up to 6 × 1,000 mL bottles or 12 blood bags per run. Featuring a high-performance induction motor, it achieves a maximum speed of 5,000 rpm and a peak relative centrifugal force (RCF) of approximately 7,277×g.

Temperature control capability ranges from –10 °C to +40 °C, maintaining sample integrity during sensitive biotechnological applications such as molecular diagnostics and blood banking. The unit includes a microprocessor control system with 15 programmable run profiles and advanced features including Accumulated Centrifugal Effect (ACE) calculation, step-mode runs, and slow start/stop to ensure reproducible and gentle sample handling.

Safety and operational robustness are enhanced by a high-strength steel rotor chamber and guard ring, automatic lid lock, electronic imbalance detection, and safeguards preventing door opening during operation or startup with an open door. The noise emission is kept below 58 dB(A) at maximum speed, supporting quiet laboratory environments.

This centrifuge is widely used in research domains requiring temperature-controlled large-volume centrifugation, including clinical diagnostics, biopharmaceutical production pipelines, and cell culture sample preparation. Its design and features make it an essential instrument for laboratories focused on live-cell processing, blood component separation, and biomanufacturing workflows requiring reproducible and scalable centrifugation processes.
