Complete Product Description

The Sorvall RC-3B is an improved version of the venerable RC-3. A balanced motor ensures quiet running operation with a full speed range- and promotes long life for brushes and bearings. The gyro-action drive so popular in the RC-3 was improved by adding a square spindle drive shaft which locks the rotor in place and allows the rotor lid to be easily removed.

The RC-3B utilizes the following safety features;

Automatic shut-off of the centrifuge motor for over-speed protection and for the refrigeration motor to prevent damage from overheating.
Electrical circuit breaker on the main power and control panel circuit; operating controls which may be changed intentionally or accidentally- without causing harm to the centrifuge.
A door interlock which prevents opening the chamber door while the rotor is in motion and/or starting the rotor drive while the door is open.
