Thermo Scientific Sorvall BIOS 16 Temperature-Controlled Bioprocessing Centrifuge
Product Description
The Thermo Scientific Sorvall BIOS 16 is a high-capacity, temperature-controlled bioprocessing centrifuge engineered for large-volume cell culture harvesting and biologics production. Featuring a maximum capacity of 16 liters per run via swinging bucket rotors, it supports volumes of 8 × 2,000 mL buckets with rotor-specific speeds up to 5,400 rpm and a peak centrifugal force of 8,500 × g. The centrifuge utilizes DuraFlex high-torque brushless drive technology, ensuring reliable, smooth acceleration and deceleration profiles with 11 acceleration and 12 deceleration profiles, including protocol emulation.
Key technical specifications include:
- Temperature range: Adjustable from –20°C to 40°C with 1°C increments, maintaining sample integrity during sensitive bioprocessing steps such as cell separation and lysate clarification.
- Run time: Precise operation timers up to 99 hours 59 minutes 59 seconds with 1-second increments, enabling long-duration separations.
- Safety features: Advanced imbalance detection, secure auto-lock lid system, and comprehensive safety checks ensure compliance with laboratory safety standards.
- Performance monitoring: Includes an Accumulated Centrifugal Effect (ACE) integrator and supports step-runs with up to 30 profiles of speed/time triplets for complex protocol execution.
This centrifuge is widely adopted in biotechnology, molecular diagnostics, and biomanufacturing settings for applications such as vaccine production, bioreactor harvest, and large-scale media clarification. Its robust engineering from Thermo Scientific supports critical bioprocessing workflows requiring dependable high-capacity centrifugation under strictly controlled environmental conditions.
Additional features:
- Supports voltage configurations of 208V, 220V, 230V, or 240V for broad lab compatibility.
- Compact footprint with dimensions of 1015 × 816 × 990 mm and a weight of 475 kg, designed for stable placement in regulated laboratory environments.
Ideal for researchers and bioprocess engineers in cell culture harvesting, vaccine and biologics processing, and large-scale media separation, the BIOS 16 centrifuge integrates advanced rotor technology and temperature control to optimize downstream processing and synthetic biology workflows. Its reliability and comprehensive safety systems make it an essential instrument for biopharmaceutical production pipelines and molecular biology laboratories.
