Product description

High-speed refrigerated centrifuge with 21,000 rpm, precise temperature control, and large rotor capacity for molecular biology labs.

The Thermo Fisher Sorvall RC6 Centrifuge is a high-speed refrigerated benchtop centrifuge engineered for demanding laboratory workflows, including cell culture, microbiology, and molecular diagnostics. Capable of reaching up to 21,000 rpm, it offers precise temperature control, essential for maintaining sample integrity during centrifugation in bioprocessing and synthetic biology applications.

Key technical features include:

  • Variable speed capabilities for versatile protocol optimization
  • A large-capacity rotor chamber supporting multiple rotor configurations suitable for diverse sample volumes and types
  • An intuitive color touchscreen interface enabling easy program selection and real-time monitoring
  • Robust safety mechanisms designed for operator protection during high-speed runs

This centrifuge is widely adopted in biomedical engineering and biopharmaceutical production pipelines where reliable, reproducible centrifugation is critical. Its design supports essential workflows in gene editing research and molecular cloning, making it a valuable instrument for researchers requiring consistent cooling and speed control to preserve delicate biomolecules.

Why Questpair exists

Lab equipment markets are fragmented. Buyers spend weeks calling distributors, comparing quotes, and verifying supplier reliability. Sellers struggle to reach global research labs.

We built Questpair to fix this. Every supplier on the platform is verified before listing. Every quote you receive comes from a real, vetted seller. AI prepares your case in minutes, then a real specialist takes over.

We're an independent team based in The Netherlands, working with research labs and procurement teams across Europe and worldwide.

Frequently asked questions

How long does laboratory equipment typically last?

With a service contract, ten to fifteen years is normal for most benchtop instruments. Detectors and pumps are the parts that wear first.

Can I get service for older equipment?

Yes. Every verified supplier states which service partners cover the instrument, and we list that alongside the offer.

Where can I buy parts?

Ask a scientist through the request button. Parts are often available even when the instrument itself is discontinued.

What is the typical lead time for refurbished equipment?

Two to six weeks, depending on refurbishment scope and whether calibration is included.

Does laboratory equipment ship internationally?

We ship to 38 countries. Crating and customs handling are quoted with the instrument.
