Features of Sorvall RC BIOS
This Dedicated Bioprocessing System is equipped with a 6L Carbon Fiber Rotor, bottles and tube adapters.
Accelerates Bioprocessing
High throughput: Spin up to 6 x 1L bottles in a single spin
High performance: Spin at 8,500rpm and 15,860 x g in as little as nine minutes
Load tubes directly into the rotor, eliminating multi-canister assemblies which can be misplaced or damaged
Improves Productivity and Efficiency
Simplifies processing with operator friendly controls
Optimizes performance for laboratory workflows
Robust and Reliable
New and enhanced security features help minimize risks of errors and system failures
Reduces variability in operating parameters
Versatile Accessory System
True Fit 1L Nalgene* Bottles
Array of adapters for Oak Ridge* and conical tubes facilitate tube versatility from 3mL to 1L
Fiberlite* Carbon Fiber Rotors An advanced alternative to metal rotors, offering superior durability, high performance and a higher level of safety for worry-free operation spin after spin.
Fatigue resistant - Carbon fiber provides unequalled structural integrity, eliminating the need to derate or limit the speed over the rotor's lifespan
Non-corrosive - Protects against ever-present hazard due to moisture, chemicals, alkaline solutions or other salts in the laboratory
Lightweight and easy to handle, improving ergonomics for a safer work environment and minimizing the risk of damage to centrifuge equipment
Repairable in the unlikely event of a mishap
Superior insulation - With naturally insulating properties, carbon fiber ensures constant sample temperature
Secure investment backed by a 15-year warranty
