Thermo Scientific Sorvall Legend XFR Floor Refrigerated High-Speed Centrifuge

The Thermo Scientific Sorvall Legend XFR is a versatile floor refrigerated centrifuge designed for biotechnology, clinical diagnostics, and general laboratory workflows. It supports a maximum capacity of 4 x 1000 mL (4 liters) per run and delivers speeds up to 15,200 RPM (25,314 x g) with fixed angle rotors, enabling high-speed centrifugation critical in molecular diagnostics and bioprocessing applications. The unit features an adjustable temperature range from -10°C to 40°C, ensuring optimal sample preservation for sensitive biological materials during cell culture processing and biopharmaceutical production pipelines.

Equipped with a microprocessor-controlled interface, users can precisely set parameters including speed, temperature, acceleration, deceleration, RCF, and timing. Its memory bank stores up to 99 customizable programs, with password protection suitable for high-security multi-user laboratories. The SMARTspin technology automatically detects rotor installation, balances load conditions, and adapts operational parameters to enhance sample integrity.

Built as a freestanding floor model with dimensions of 28 x 23 x 33 inches and weighing 314 lbs, it conserves benchtop space while maintaining easy accessibility. The centrifuge’s features include an Auto-Lock Rotor push-button system, ensuring secure rotor fastening, and a ClickSeal Bucket Sealing System that replaces traditional caps—ideal for handling hazardous biological agents such as viruses or toxins in synthetic biology and molecular cloning workflows. Noise emission remains below 61 dBA, enhancing lab environment comfort.

This centrifuge’s compatibility with multiple rotor types including swing and fixed angle rotors makes it adaptable for diverse applications in bioprocessing, gene editing research, live-cell imaging sample preparation, and blood component separation. Its energy-efficient operation combined with precise temperature control supports critical biomanufacturing and metabolic studies requiring consistent reproducibility and sample safety.
