Characteristics of the Sorvall LYNX 4000 / 6000 Centrifuge
Several rotors with a wide range of tubes can be used.
The set speed is reached within seconds. 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 preset the speed, RCF value, run time, temperature,
and run profile (acceleration and deceleration curves). You can choose between the display of speed and
RCF in the entry mode.
These settings can be changed even while the centrifuge is running.
The Sorvall LYNX 4000 / 6000 centrifuge is equipped with various safety features:
• The housing and rotor chamber consist of steel plate, the interior of armor steel, while the front
panel is made of high-impact resistant plastic.
• The centrifuge door is equipped with a centrifuge door lock.
• The centrifuge door 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 centrifuge door has been closed
properly.
• The rotor recognition Auto-ID identifies the rotor when inserted thus avoiding over-speeding the
rotor and simplifying run set-up.
• An electronic imbalance recognition is designed to prevent damage to the centrifuge spindle.
• Centrifuge door emergency release: For emergencies only, e.g. to retrieve samples during power
failures (see
• The Sorvall LYNX 4000 / 6000 centrifuge can be equipped with an optional HEPA filter
(HEPA-Filter Kit 75000011).
• The Sorvall LYNX 4000 / 6000 centrifuge can be bolted down to the floor (Optional Seismic
Bolt-down Kit 75006500) optionally.
