Features of Sorvall RC12BP
A revolutionary blood processing centrifuge, the Sorvall RC12 BP incorporates the functionality of the SorvallRC3BP™, which set the industry standards for GMP compliance and performance, and added the following powerful benefits:
Quality Separations: The Sorvall RC12BP helps ensure high-quality separations through a variety of features, including the MSR™ System for minimum sample disturbance.
Increased Productivity: With the H-12000 rotor, you can process up to 12 blood bags with 500mL collection volume each.
Automatic Reproducibility: Simply choose the ACE button, enter the total Accumulated Centrifugal Effect™ for your protocol, and the centrifuge will automatically compensate for variations in acceleration times due to differences in a full or partial rotor load by adjusting the run time.
Customize runs for Maximum Yields: Control the rates of acceleration and deceleration with the MSR™ (Minimal Sample Resuspension) System. Using the Slow Start/Slow Stop features, you can choose from 10 acceleration and deceleration profiles, allowing you to customize runs for minimal sample resuspension, cleaner interfaces and maximized product yields.
Easy to Use: The Sorvall RC12BP centrifuge features easy-to-use, menu-driven controls – including a storage and recall function of up to 15 separation protocols – for fast and easy centrifuge processing.
