Thermo Sorvall ST 8 High-Speed Swing-Out Rotor Benchtop Centrifuge

The Thermo Sorvall ST 8 centrifuge is a reliable high-speed benchtop centrifuge designed for clinical diagnostics, biotechnology, and molecular biology applications such as blood and urine sample processing. It delivers a speed range of 300 to 16,000 rpm with a maximum relative centrifugal force (RCF) of 24,328 x g, supporting efficient sample separation critical in molecular diagnostics and bioprocessing workflows.

Key technical features include:

• Max kinetic energy: 62.5 kJ for stable acceleration and deceleration cycles
• Timer function: Runs up to 9 hours 59 minutes or continuous operation, allowing precise protocol control
• Dimensions: Compact footprint at 310 x 370 x 480 mm (HxWxD) suited for benchtop use in research and clinical labs
• Weight: 71 kg, providing stable operation with minimal vibration suitable for sensitive molecular biology assays

Equipped with:

• One Thermo TX-150 swing-out rotor (model 75005701), rated for up to 4500 rpm
• Four TX-150 buckets (model 75005702) with lids (model 75005707) and specialized inserts that accommodate:
• Six 5/7 mL blood collection tubes (Ø13 x 116 mm)
• Four 14 mL urine tubes (Ø18 x 124 mm)

This centrifuge is essential for molecular cloning workflows and widely adopted in synthetic biology research and clinical diagnostics, facilitating high-throughput sample processing in biomedical engineering and biomanufacturing pipelines. Its versatile rotor and insert configuration make it ideal for blood and urine sample preparation in both biotechnology research and clinical laboratory settings.
