Thermo Scientific Sorvall ST 16R Refrigerated Benchtop Centrifuge with Swing-Out Rotor

The Thermo Scientific Sorvall ST 16R is a refrigerated benchtop centrifuge optimized for clinical diagnostics, biotechnology, and biomedical research applications. Featuring a speed range from 300 to 15,200 rpm and a maximum relative centrifugal force (RCF) of 25,830 x g, this centrifuge supports efficient separation workflows essential in molecular diagnostics and bioprocessing.

• Temperature control: Maintains sample temperature between -10°C and 40°C, critical for preserving sample integrity in sensitive protocols like gene editing and synthetic biology research.
• Timer function: Programmable up to 9 hours 59 minutes or continuous operation, enabling flexibility for prolonged biopharmaceutical production processes.
• Rotor system: Includes 1x Thermo TX-200 swing-out rotor (max 5,500 rpm) with matched buckets and inserts designed for blood collection tubes (7x10 mL and 8x 5/7 mL tubes). This setup is widely used in clinical diagnostics and cell imaging sample preparations.
• Kinetic energy: Maximum kinetic energy of 62.5 kJ supports safe operation during high-speed runs commonly required for biomanufacturing and molecular cloning workflows.
• Dimensions & Weight: Compact footprint (360 mm H x 623 mm W x 605 mm D) and a weight of 91.5 kg enable easy integration into laboratory environments focused on synthetic biology and neuroscience research.

The Sorvall ST 16R refrigerated centrifuge is an essential instrument for biotechnology laboratories requiring reliable, temperature-controlled centrifugation for applications such as fluorescence analysis, live-cell imaging sample preparation, and clinical specimen processing. Its robust design and precise temperature management make it popular among molecular biology researchers conducting advanced gene editing and molecular diagnostics.
