safetySorvall units are so well-built, they meet CE and CSA safetyrequirements without bolting the unit to the floor. And byspinning samples at atmospheric pressure – without the need fora vacuum – our superspeed centrifuges help prevent sampleleakage, rotor imbalance and run shut-downs.

Our Thermo Scientific Sorvall superspeed centrifuges are ideally suited

for a wide range of applications spanning pharmaceutical, biotechnology and

academic research.

Compact and quiet, they fit easily in the lab and offer advanced features

that make you more productive: sophisticated scheduling, rapid acceleration and

deceleration rates, and intuitive LCD displays that offer unmatched ease-of-use,

even for inexperienced users.

Available in 4- and 6- liter capacities with a broad array of high-performance

carbon fiber and aluminum rotors, our Sorvall superspeeds deliver maximum

throughput with minimum maintenance for years of worry-free performance.
