Thermo Sorvall Legend XFR 75004538

This machine has now been replaced by the Sorvall X4RF Pro

Ideal for a wide range of general purpose applications including cell culture, bioproduction, blood separation and microbiology amongst others, the new Sorvall Legend XF research centrifuge series feature a convenient 3 litre capacity and are available in both ventilated and refrigerated units.

This floor standing centrifuge has the same capacity as its benchtop equivalent but is mounted on a free-standing unit to maximise exisiting benchtop space. This refrigerated floor standing version of the Legend XT has the refrigeration unit inside the base of the stand rather than on the side of the centrifuge, allowing the unit to fit into narrower lab space.

The research models offer a wider range of rotors and accessories than their routine counterparts, including high speed carbon fibre rotors from the Fiberlite range. Featuring an exceptionally clear display panel and 99 pre-set programs as opposed to the 6 featured by the routine models, the research series of centrifuges are perfect for a busy research environment.

Other additional features developed to assist in a research environment include the facility for setting the time of the run from when the rotor reaches speed, the ability to monitor and control the sample temperature as opposed to the bowl temperature of the centrifuge, and a password p Plusrotection option to prevent un-authorised interruptions to sample runs.

Details

The Sorvall Legend XT general purpose centrifuge delivers breakthrough capabilities including:
Process up to 40 x 50 ml conical tubes (40% more) in a swinging bucket rotor, or up to 14 x 50 ml (100% more) in fixed angle configuration, for significantly increased capacity over competitive models in the same bench space.

Unmatched Versatility
The broadest range of rotors and adapters available in the industry, with a minimum of 16 rotor configurations, enables your lab to meet all processing needs.

Achieve higher G-force and faster speeds, and ensure exceptional security and efficiency with our robust, corrosion-free design
with a Thermo Scientific Fiberlite rotor

Industry-Leading Energy Efficiency
Experience up to 40% energy consumption savings * on industry standard protocols, such as blood separation or conical tubes processing.

*based on internal benchmark

Compact, Ergonomic Design
Compact dimensions, ergonomic height and curved design ensure comfortable and space-efficient workspace.

Advanced Programmable Controls
Improve sample protection with detailed operation information to maximize run performance. Ensure temperature accuracy and control between -10° and +40°C, supported by our double temperature control system which displays the air temperature in the chamber, as well as the sample temperature, for ultimate control of the sample temperature during the run.

The Sorvall Legend XT also features patented Thermo Scientific technologies including:

Auto-Lock® III Rotor System
Secure locking system delivers quick and easy rotor installation and exchange with just the push of a button. Easy chamber access for cleaning convenience and reduced contamination risk ultimately delivers improved research and a healthier working environment.
