Thermo Scientific Sorvall Legend Micro 17R Refrigerated Benchtop Microcentrifuge

The Thermo Scientific Sorvall Legend Micro 17R is a refrigerated benchtop microcentrifuge designed for precise temperature-controlled centrifugation of microliter-scale samples. Featuring a speed range up to 13,300 RPM and a maximum relative centrifugal force of 17,000 x g, this unit supports rapid and efficient separation for molecular biology, nucleic acid research, and biotechnology workflows involving standard 1.5 mL and 2.0 mL microtubes.

• Temperature range: -9 °C to 40 °C ensures protection of temperature-sensitive samples during processing, critical in molecular diagnostics and bioprocessing applications.
• Capacity: Accommodates up to 24 tubes (1.5/2.0 mL), suitable for high-throughput microvolume sample preparation.
• Noise level: Operates quietly at below 56 dBA, ideal for shared laboratory environments.
• Compact footprint: Dimensions of 11 x 17 x 13 inches optimize bench space without compromising power.
• Power requirements: 120V, 60Hz, 3.9A.

This centrifuge is widely adopted in synthetic biology research and biopharmaceutical production pipelines due to its balance of compact design, precise temperature control, and reliable high-speed centrifugation. It is essential for live-cell imaging sample prep, hematocrit analysis, and routine microvolume workflows where reproducibility and sample integrity are paramount. Its digital controls facilitate straightforward operation for researchers focused on cell imaging, gene editing protocols, and biomanufacturing processes.
