Thermo Scientific Sorvall ST 8R Refrigerated Benchtop Centrifuge with Microprocessor Control
Product Description
The Thermo Scientific Sorvall ST 8R is a refrigerated benchtop centrifuge designed for clinical diagnostics, molecular biology, and biotechnology research workflows. Featuring a brushless induction drive with microprocessor control, this centrifuge supports fixed-angle rotors achieving speeds up to 17,850 rpm (30,279 × g), and swing-bucket rotors up to 4,500 rpm (3,260 × g), suitable for processing high-volume tubes and plates.
Key features include:
- Temperature control range from -10°C to 40°C for protecting temperature-sensitive samples during bioprocessing and molecular cloning.
- SMARTSpin™ rotor-recognition technology to automatically identify rotors, optimize braking profiles, and enforce speed limits, enhancing safety in pelleting and synthetic biology applications.
- Low noise operation under 56 dB(A) supports a quiet laboratory environment.
- Timers allow runs from 1 minute up to 99 hours 59 minutes, or continuous operation, adaptable to diverse biomedical engineering and clinical research protocols.
- Compact footprint (18 x 27 x 13 inches) weighing 77 lbs, ideal for space-constrained research laboratories.
- Power requirements: 120V, 60Hz, 700W, 8A.
This refrigerated centrifuge is widely used in cell culture processing, molecular diagnostics, and biomanufacturing workflows requiring reliable, repeatable centrifugation. It is essential for routine sample preparation, live-cell imaging sample prep, and DNA/RNA extraction protocols. The inclusion of fixed-angle and swing-bucket rotor options enhances versatility for diverse biotechnology and clinical applications.
The Sorvall ST 8R unit undergoes comprehensive bench testing to verify stable cooling performance and consistent speed regulation under load. Calibration under specific laboratory protocols is recommended to ensure optimal use in specialized molecular biology and synthetic biology research environments.
Included with purchase:
- Fixed-Angle Rotor 30 x 2 mL with lid
- User Manual
- 120V Power Cord
- 30-Day Warranty
This centrifuge is a reliable solution for researchers and laboratory professionals involved in gene editing, molecular cloning workflows, and biopharmaceutical production pipelines, making it a critical instrument in modern biotechnology and clinical diagnostics laboratories.
