Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, capacities commonly range up to 4 litres, accommodating various tube and plate formats.

Power supply

Units of this type typically operate on standard laboratory single-phase power, commonly 230V, 50Hz in the UK.

Temperature range

Refrigerated centrifuges commonly offer temperature control from -9°C to +40°C.

Maximum RCF

Maximum RCF values for high-performance benchtop centrifuges are typically in the range of 25,000 x g to 30,000 x g.

Rotor compatibility

These centrifuges are commonly compatible with a range of interchangeable rotors, including swing-out and fixed-angle types.

Footprint

Benchtop refrigerated centrifuges typically require a significant bench space, with dimensions commonly around 70-80 cm depth, 40-50 cm width, and 30-40 cm height.

• What types of rotors are compatible with the Multifuge X1R series?

  The Multifuge X1R series typically supports a range of Thermo Scientific Auto-Lock rotors, including various swing-out and fixed-angle options for different tube and plate configurations. Buyers should confirm specific rotor compatibility with the seller.

• Is refrigeration a standard feature on this model?

• What maintenance is typically required for a used centrifuge?

• Can this centrifuge process microplates?

• What safety features are commonly found on these units?

Centrifuges are valued across laboratories and biotech facilities for reliable sample separation. Buyers typically prioritise rotor compatibility, temperature stability in refrigerated models, and ease of maintenance when purchasing used units. Industry sentiment reflects appreciation for durable construction and consistent performance. Key considerations include verifying motor condition, checking calibration history, and confirming availability of compatible rotors. Well-maintained examples offer strong value and longevity, though wear on seals and bearings warrants inspection. Speed range and capacity alignment with intended applications remains important for operational efficiency.
