Sorvall St 8r Centrifuge
Refrigerated bench top centrifuge is a laboratory instrument used to separate particles or components of a substance based on their density using centrifugal force. It is designed to operate at low to medium speeds and has a built-in refrigeration system to keep the samples at a desired temperature during the centrifugation process.
The centrifuge consists of a rotor, which holds the sample tubes or plates, and a motor that rotates the rotor at high speeds. As the rotor spins, the centrifugal force separates the components in the sample based on their density, with the heavier components moving to the bottom of the tube or plate.
The refrigeration system in a refrigerated bench top centrifuge maintains the temperature of the samples during the centrifugation process. This is especially important for samples that are temperature-sensitive or require low-temperature conditions to maintain their stability.
Refrigerated bench top centrifuges are commonly used in various scientific fields, such as biochemistry, molecular biology, and clinical research, for separating cells, proteins, nucleic acids, and other biological molecules.
