Sorvall Contifuge Stratos 75005297

The SORVALL® Contifuge® is capable of processing very large sample volumes – typically, from bioreactors and fermentors – in just a single run. The centrifuge allows rapid, reliable separations of large volumes of suspension with a low solid matter content, and with the help of an accessory cart, can be used almost anywhere.

Details

• Compatible with SORVALL Stratos® rotors and autoclavable continuous flow rotor

• 17,000 rpm (25,040 x g) in continuous flow mode

• Ideal for bacterial, yeast, algae and animal cell separations

• Flow rate up to 54 L/hr

• Sediment capacity of 400 ml

The SORVALL® Contifuge® is capable of processing very large sample volumes – typically, from bioreactors and fermentors – in just a single run. The centrifuge allows rapid, reliable separations of large volumes of suspension with a low solid matter content, and with the help of an accessory cart, can be used almost anywhere. Compared with discontinuous centrifugation, time savings of up to 80% are possible. The Contifuge can be used with a high speed titanium continuous flow rotor, ideal for harvesting bacterial cultures and human or animal cells. The rotor is easy to assemble and clean, fully autoclavable, and sediment cells gently without lysis. A polypropylene insert improves sedimentation capability, particularly for small or low density particles. The insert, developed for the separation of suspensions with a low solids content, reduces sediment capacity from 300 ml to 50 ml. To maintain precise, reproducible flow rates, the use of a peristalic pump with a pump range of 100 to 900 ml/min is recommended. An optional peristaltic pump, which is controlled via the centrifuge, is available. A movable centrifuge cart, on which the pump, sample containers and a magnetic stirrer can be placed, makes the entire system portable. Reinforced metal construction makes the cart virtually vibration-free. The Contifuge operates reliably, even when complex samples are processed. Even the introduction of air/lather does not affect system operation.
