Description
Sorvall RT6000B Refrigerated Tabletop Centrifuge w/ H1000B Rotor & 11053 Buckets
From the manufacturer:
The RT6000B combines the features of the tabletop centrifuge and those of the larger refrigerated centrifuge in a compact tabletop instrument. It is similar to other SORVALL® Tabletop Centrifuges, with an added refrigeration system that consists of an evaporator/rotor chamber and a low-temperature condensing unit. The system is designed to maintain temperature within 1°C, while in the operating range of -5°C to +25°C.
The RT6000B features a closed-loop speed control and have a see-through chamber door that allows rotor calibration and visual inspection of a run in progress. The chamber door is counterbalanced for easy opening and safe closing. The lid latch is locked manually by turning the door release knob counterclockwise to the LOCKED position, then mechanically an interlock engages when the rotor begins spinning to prevent the chamber door from being opened during operation. The gyro-action, self-centering drive has a diamond hex-shaped drive spindle which assures proper seating of rotors. The centrifuges also have a slow-start feature that slowly accelerates the rotor from 0 to 600rpm.
Includes the following accessories:
- QTY = 1: Sorvall H1000B Swinging Bucket Rotor MAX 3200 RPM
- QTY = 4: Sorvall 11053 Sample Bucket
- QTY = 2: 750g MAX sample carrier with BLUE inserts
- QTY = 2: 750g MAX sample carrier with GREEN inserts
Condition: Used
This used centrifuge is listed As Is since we do not have a fixed angle rotor to fully test the 6000 RPM function. It will power on and spin up with empty buckets on the rotor with the swinging H1000B rotor, but it will max out at approximately 3100 RPM instead of the manual's stated 6000 RPM. When the buckets are removed and only the rotor arms are installed, it will reach 4600 RPM! It appears to have an on-board auto sensing of the load and will self-limit the speed, as a swing bucket has a MAX safe RMP of 3200 RPM according to the manual. We tested it to cool to approximately -10°C after 10~20 minutes. Please view our photo set and contact us if you have any questions.
