Price: £ 8,250
This listing is for a Thermo Fisher Scientific RC 3BP+ Centrifuge
The unit is in full working condition and is ready for immediate release.
Key Features & Capabilities
The RC 3BP Plus is designed for large-batch/volume processing: for example one rotor option handles 6 × 1 000 mL bottles or 12 blood-bags.
Maximum speed of up to 5 000 rpm, producing a maximum relative centrifugal force (RCF) of about 7 277 ×g.
Refrigeration/temperature control: The unit offers temperature setting range roughly from –10 °C to +40 °C (or around +2 °C to +40 °C depending on source) and is capable of keeping sample chamber temperature stable.
Microprocessor control with programmable run-profiles: 15 stored programs, features such as “Accumulated Centrifugal Effect (ACE)”, Step-Mode runs, slow-start/stop, etc.
Quiet & robust operation: Noise level at maximum speed is under ~58 dBA.
Safety and build quality: The rotor chamber, baseframe and guard ring are made of high-strength steel; automatic lid lock; electronic imbalance detection; door cannot open during spin; machine cannot start if door open.

Intended Usage & Applications
This centrifuge is suited for laboratories that need to process large volumes and relatively low speeds (compared with ultra-centrifuges). Some typical uses include:
Blood banking/separation of large bag volumes.
Bulk processing of bottles (1 L size) for sample prep.
Applications where sample temperature control is important (hence the refrigeration).
Labs requiring strong reproducibility via programmable runs, slow-start/stop, step modes
