Thermo Scientific Sorvall ST 40R Refrigerated Benchtop Centrifuge 4x1000mL

The Thermo Scientific Sorvall ST 40R Refrigerated Benchtop Centrifuge (Model 75004525) is engineered for advanced laboratory sample processing with applications in biotechnology, molecular diagnostics, and clinical research. This unit supports a high-capacity volume of 4 x 1000mL with sealed biocontainment rotors (rotor not included), delivering speeds up to 15,200 RPM and a maximum relative centrifugal force (RCF) of 25,314 x g, essential for efficient sample pelleting and phase separation.

Key technical features include:

Though sold AS-IS due to operational faults including lid error codes (E24, E97), motor block error (E29), and a bent spindle, the refrigeration function and major components remain intact. This centrifuge represents a valuable resource for skilled refurbishment or as a source of spare parts for high-capacity refrigerated sample separation needs in molecular biology, gene editing, and biomanufacturing applications.

Dimensions and weight specifications (138.8 kg) conform to standard benchtop laboratory equipment requirements, with electrical operation at 120V, 60Hz. This centrifuge is classified under Harmonized Code 842119, confirming its primary use in laboratory centrifugation for separation of biological materials.

This model is widely adopted in research fields involving live-cell centrifugation, vaccine development, and synthetic biology workflows, making it a critical instrument for laboratories engaged in biotechnology process optimization and molecular diagnostics development.
