Thermo Fisher Scientific

This listing is for a Thermo Fisher Scientific Sorvall RC6+ Centrifuge

The unit is in full working condition and is ready for immediate release.

The Sorvall RC 6 Plus is a high-speed, refrigerated floor-standing centrifuge designed for large-volume separations in research, bioprocessing or production labs. According to the manufacturer, it:

Is capable of speeds up to 22,000 rpm (which corresponds to about 55,200 ×g) without needing a vacuum system.

Handles up to 4 × 1,000 mL bottles in a single run (i.e., ~4 L total) in its standard configuration.

Uses a brushless high-frequency motor drive, and has full refrigeration for temperature control.

Offers a broad rotor compatibility platform (including composite, aluminium, continuous flow etc) for different

In short: this is a heavy-duty centrifuge for larger volumes and higher speeds, suited to labs that need more capacity and performance than benchtop or mid-range units.

Key Features & Highlights

Here are some of the standout features:

Speed & G-force: Up to 22,000 rpm, approx. 55,200 ×g.

Capacity: 4 bottles of 1,000 mL (4 L total) in typical configuration.

Temperature control: Ability to set in range from -20 °C to +40 °C (in 1 °C increments), and maintain temperature accuracy of ±2 °C.

Motor/drive: Brushless high-frequency motor = faster spin up/downs, lower maintenance than older belt drives.

Programmability & control: Up to 30 stored programs, with features like real-time control (delayed start/stop), ω² dt (integrator) for reproducibility, pre-cool function, and both rpm and RCF display.

Safety & interlocks: Automatic lid-lock when running, door cannot be opened while rotor is spinning, and run terminates automatically in the event of certain malfunctions.

Rotor flexibility: Supports a wide selection of rotors (fixed-angle, swinging bottle/bucket, continuous flow), including composite carbon-fibre rotors for higher performance / durability
