Description
The Thermo Scientific Sorvall Legend XTR is a high-performance, refrigerated centrifuge from the Sorvall XT/XF series, engineered to deliver industry-leading capacity and versatility on either the benchtop or floor. It’s a 3-liter capacity system built for high-performance applications involving temperature-sensitive samples, capable of processing up to 40% more 50 mL conical tubes in a swing-out rotor configuration and up to 100% more in a fixed-angle configuration compared to competitive models — a meaningful productivity advantage for labs running frequent tube-based workflows. The XTR supports a broad range of applications, including cell culture, microplate work, bioproduction, blood separation, bodily fluids processing, pharmaceutical development, biotechnology, stem cell research, microbiology, molecular biology, proteomics, and genomics. It supports a minimum of 16 rotor configurations, including Thermo Scientific Fiberlite rotors, giving labs significant flexibility to adapt the same centrifuge to a wide variety of protocols and sample types.
Features:
- High-Capacity Design: Handles up to 4 L of sample volume despite its compact footprint.
- Auto-Lock III Rotor System: Tool-free, push-button rotor and bucket installation/exchange.
- User-Friendly Control Panel: On-the-fly adjustment of speed, RCF, run time, temperature, and acceleration/braking curves.
- Customizable Performance Profiles: 9 acceleration and 10 braking curve options for precise centrifugation control.
- Double Temperature Management: Tracks both chamber air temperature and sample temperature for improved sample protection.
- Refrigerated Cooling System: Maintains precise temperature control to protect temperature-sensitive samples.
