The RC-5B offers simplicity of operation and durability for intensiveuse. User-friendly controls make set-up simple even for inexperienced users, speeding up parameter setting and reducing errors. The industry’s widest rotor range – spanning fixed angle, swinging bucket, vertical, microtube, zonal, and continuous flow types – means unrivaled levels of superspeed versatility. Other benefits include:
Reliable, dependable operation
The durable, high capacity refrigeration system maintains precise operating temperatures without the need for a vacuum. Direct drive motors, with no belts or gears, reduce maintenance and system noise. The patented gyro system protects the drive from damage should rotor imbalance occur.
Simplicity, ease of use
Intuitive levers or knobs make parameter setting fast and easy Both set and actual parameters are visible at all times User-defined sample over-temperature protection assures sample integrity. Imbalance tolerant gyro permits eye balancing of tube contents and rotor load
Proven, practical performance
Easy to use controls for programming run conditions High visibility analog displays and lighted indicators. Run conditions can be set in any sequence and changed at any
time. Accurate speed control from 500 to 21,000 rpm
The Sorvall RC-5B is the gold standard of reliability in superspeed centrifuges. The RC-5B centrifuge drive system is equipped with a Universal/Drive motor, designed and manufactured by Sorvall, with automatic programmed acceleration and braking features. The motor armature is balanced to give quiet operation with minimum vibration over a full range of speeds. This feature extends the life of the bearings and brushes.
