Thermo Sorvall ST 8 Centrifuge
The Thermo Scientific Sorvall ST 8 is a small benchtop centrifuge that provides exceptional capacity in a compact design with a smart, simple interface and flexibility ideal for clinical and research applications. The unit features user-friendly microprocessor controls that let users set time sessions, continuous runs, access up to 4 protocols, and even password-protect their executables. The Sorvall ST8, when partnered with the TX-150 swinging bucket rotor, holds 4 x 145mL, a max speed of 4500 RPM and a max RCF of 3260 x G. The maximized swing out capacity can go as high as 8 X 50 ml conical tubes, 24X 5/7mL blood tubes, as well as microplates, and microtubes, for a flexible workhorse. With the MicroClick 24 x 2 rotor, it holds 24 x 1.5/2 mL, a max speed of 16,000 rpm, and a max RCF of 24,328 x g.
The Sorvall ST8 Centrifuge, at <58 dBA, is quiet enough to have nearby while in operation. This Laboratory Centrifuge has several safety features, such as auto-lock rotor exchange for trouble-free rotor installation to ensure proper placement, the SMARTspin imbalance system to warn if loads are uneven, and are compatible with ClickSeal biocontainment lids with glove-friendly, one-handed operation. This lab centrifuge also features acceleration and deceleration profiles, either standard or a soft gradual start/stop.

Technical Notes
This listing with the pictured rotor package has been inspected top to bottom by our service team. We carefully inspect every component of our machines, replace degraded parts as part of the refurbishment process, and validate the instrument. The speed for this benchtop centrifuge is checked using a NIST traceable laser tachometer prior to being listed on our website, in addition to the sound level. Each test is logged into our inventory systems, per asset and at any given time we can pull the record to show you what tests have been done.
When setting up the Sorvall ST 8, you should find a location that is stable and levels such as a lab bench or a lockable cart, and it should be resonance-free to prevent interfering with centrifugation. A clearance of 30 cm/ 12? should be observed both for proper ventilation and safety concerns, this is especially true of keeping hazardous materials out of the zone. You should also become familiar with your rotor type as a tight fit is key when in use. When using the ST8, it is also important to make sure the rotor is as symmetrically balanced as possible for the best separation and overall safety. This can be done visually, so long as opposing tubes are filled to the same level and the maximum load for the centrifuge rotor is not exceeded.
Following a maintenance schedule for the Thermo ST 8 will help to extend the life of your investment, and this includes daily cleaning of the chamber and rotor components and a visual check for wear on your rotor. Here at the Lab World Group, we’re on hand for troubleshooting and to help you make the most of your investment. All instruments we have for sale include our standard thirty-day warranty and typically ship within three business days from receipt of the completed sales order. This centrifuge ship freight and should be lifted by at least to people by the sides after unpacking. If you have questions about our refurbishment process, this machine, or would like a quote for the Thermo Sorvall ST 8, please contact our sales team, we’re happy to help.
