The Sorvall RC-5C is the gold standard of reliability in superspeed centrifuges. The RC-5C centrifuge drive system is equipped with a Universal/Drive motor, designed and manufactured by Sorvall, with automatic programmed acceleration and braking features. The motor armature is balanced to give quiet operation with minimum vibration over a full range of speeds. This feature extends the life of the bearings and brushes.
Features:
Easy to operate, this model reaches a maximum rotor speed and maintain the desired temperature without the use of a vacuum system.
The operator can set speed, time, and temperature in any order and can change parameters at any time during the run.
Door interlock which prevents the centrifuge door from opening when the rotor begins to accelerate.
Microprocessor control, uses thumblevers to control settings, LED display of operating parameters.
RCF mode for g force calculation.
Auto rate control setting for density gradient work.
Omega squared dt calculation for run to run reproducibility.
