What types of rotors are compatible with the Labofuge 400R?

The Labofuge 400R is designed to be compatible with a wide range of rotors, typically including swing-out and fixed-angle types, to accommodate various tube sizes and microplates. Buyers should confirm specific rotor availability with the seller.

Is pre-cooling of the centrifuge chamber possible?

Yes, refrigerated centrifuges like the Labofuge 400R commonly feature a pre-cooling function to bring the chamber and rotor to the desired temperature before a run, protecting sensitive samples.

How are run parameters set and monitored?

Units of this type typically feature a microprocessor control panel with touchpad controls for setting speed, RCF, temperature, and run time. Individual indicators commonly display the current settings.

What maintenance is typically required for this centrifuge?

The Labofuge 400R commonly uses a maintenance-free induction drive. Routine maintenance typically involves cleaning the chamber and rotor, and periodic checks of the refrigeration system.

Can this centrifuge handle delicate samples?

Yes, features such as a soft start/soft brake function and precise temperature control are commonly found on units of this type, allowing for gentle processing of sensitive samples.

This listing is for a Thermo Fisher Scientific Labofuge 400R refrigerated Centrifuge.

The unit is in full working condition and is ready for immidate realese.

The Thermo Fisher Scientific Labofuge 400R is an air-cooled, quiet operating centrifuge, with temperature control for sensitive samples. This versatile refrigerated centrifuge has a temperature range between 0-40°C to help ensure low temperatures even during an extended run or when running at high speeds. The microprocessor control then monitors temperatures to prevent sample freezing. The wide range of compatible rotors, available from Thermo, allows users to fit most tubes. Easy Controls:

The microprocessor control panel is set up front for easy access, with individual indicators showing temperature, speed, and RCF settings, as well as run time. Users can set their desired parameters quickly through the touchpad controls, choose a quick run for short spins, and engage a soft start/soft break for gentle processing of more sensitive samples. Spins are powered by an induction drive that’s maintenance-free for worry-free operation.

Safety Features:

The automatic imbalance detector will cut out the drive if the rotor is out of balance to protect components and your work. There is also rotor over speed protection to help reduce wear on components. The steel jacket system and durable construction help the system to comply with IEC 1010. The Labofuge 400R uses a highly effective cooling environmentally friendly technology, using standstill cooling, and R134A refrigerant.
