Characteristics of the Thermo Scientific Sorvall RC 3BP Plus

Characteristics of the Thermo Scientific Sorvall RC 3BP Plus
The maintenance-free induction motor ensures quiet and low-vibration operation even at high speeds,
and guarantees a very long lifetime.
The user-friendly control panel makes it easy to pre-set the speed, RCF value, running time,
temperature, and running profile (acceleration and braking curves). You can choose between the
display of speed and RCF or the entry mode.
These settings can be changed even while the centrifuge is running.
The Sorvall RC 3BP Plus is equipped with various safety features:
• Housing, rotor chamber, baseframe, and guard ring are made of high-strength, high-quality steel.
• The door is equipped with a view port and a lock.
• The door of the centrifuge can only be opened while the centrifuge is switched on and the rotor
has come to a complete stop. The centrifuge cannot be started until the door has been closed
properly.
• Electronic imbalance recognition
• For emergencies only, e.g. during power failures (see
1-2 Sorvall RC 3BP Plus
"Failure message" on page 8-3).
