Description
The Thermo Scientific Sorvall Legend X1R is a refrigerated benchtop centrifuge built for high-performance, versatile sample separation in both research and clinical settings. It offers a compact footprint while supporting capacities of up to 1.6 L, and it’s compatible with a wide range of rotors, from swinging bucket to fixed-angle, allowing it to handle everything from microcentrifuge tubes and blood tubes to large-volume bottles and microplates. Its double temperature management system tracks both chamber air temperature and estimated sample temperature, helping protect temperature-sensitive samples throughout a run. With an intuitive interface, tool-less Auto-Lock rotor exchange, and a PULSE function for short spins, the Legend X1R is designed to be easy to program while still delivering the speed and flexibility needed for diverse separation protocols.
Features:
- Wide Rotor Compatibility: Supports up to 17 available rotors for broad application versatility
- Tool-Less Rotor Exchange: Auto-Lock (AutoLock III) system allows quick, push-button rotor installation and swaps
- Double Temperature Management: Displays both chamber air temperature and sample temperature for precise thermal control
- PULSE Function: Enables quick, short-duration spins at maximum acceleration/braking power
- User-Friendly Interface: Digital or full-color touchscreen display (model-dependent) for easy programming and run monitoring, even mid-run
