Centrifuge Launched for Blood Banking and Bioprocessing

Precise control of acceleration and deceleration rates ensures that sample integrity is retained, even during delicate low-speed pelleting applications.

Thermo Fisher Scientific (Waltham, MA, USA) introduced the new large capacity Sorvall RC 12BP Plus centrifuge. With a maximum capacity of 12 L, the centrifuge can process up to 12 blood bag systems (up to 500 mL) or six 2,000-mL Thermo Scientific Nalgene bio-bottles.

The Sorvall RC 12BP Plus centrifuge can be optimized through the incorporation of the Thermo Scientific H-12000 large-capacity swinging bucket rotors. Capable of spinning 2 L Nalgene polypropylene bottles, which have a graduated wide mouth for simple decanting, resuspensions and pellet removal, these rotors provide excellent capacities.

The optional Thermo Scientific Centri-Log data collection software is a paperless method of increasing quality control, process traceability, and component tracking. Compliance with Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) guidelines ensures sample security and integrity.

Set-up and operation are facilitated by an interface, which incorporates a 15-program memory with one-touch recall of commonly used protocols. In addition, a security key prevents unauthorized access.
