The Thermo Sorvall ST16R refrigerated centrifuge fulfills multiple centrifugation needs, from general-purpose sample preparation, to temperature-controlled cell culture applications as well as clinical uses. This compact benchtop unit is simple to operate, with intuitive digital controls, and rotors that can be removed with the push of a button. The motorized lid latch means one finger closing and makes this convenient to place in your lab, even on tall benches. When rotors need to be exchanges, users can swap them quickly, with easy push button secure locking instilation, and SMARTSpin technology that identifies the rotor automatically and sets rotor limits, eliminating potential for error and improving separations.
The Thermo ST16R comes preset with 9 accelerations and 10 deceleration protocols, as well as 6 quick keys for user defined separation programs for frequently used protocols. This benchtop centrifuge also features a built-in timer, up to 9hrs and 99 minutes, with a hold function, a pre-cooling function with direct access button and has a temperature control range of -10° to 40°C. The chamber is cooled with CFC free refrigerant.

Every piece of lab equipment that enters The Lab World Group receives a full preventative maintenance and quality control before being listed for sale. This ensures that all items ship within 1 to 3 days once your order is placed and that the lab equipment you receive is in pristine condition.
The first step is receiving the laboratory equipment into our facility. At that point regardless of the unit’s origin they are instantly decontaminated using both simple green and isopropyl alcohol. For the next step, the laboratory instruments are then entered into our inventory system where each piece of equipment receives its own tracking ID and history. The inventory management is a large part of our system ensuring each piece of equipment receives the appropriate care as well as for any consigned pieces our customers have perfect tracking of their assets.
The maintenance of the centrifuges, analyzers, incubators, etc are all unique to their functions in the lab. The preventive maintenance process for an analyzer is vastly different than an incubator or lab refrigerator. One of the major differences with The Lab World Group is we service all our own laboratory equipment and are experts in servicing everything from a vortexer to a Chromatography System.
The First step we undertake when testing your centrifuge is the same regardless of whether is refrigerated, a benchtop or ultra-centrifuge. We ensure the centrifuge is properly balanced on the floor. Next, we check the rotor for any chips or defects and weigh the buckets for appropriate weight. The key to properly running any centrifuge is to ensure the unit is always balanced both internal and external.
Next, we then check the unit for physical defects and worn parts such as missing drip pans, dings and dents, gas lid struts, LCD screens, centrifuge seals, rotor seals, lid locking mechanisms, etc. We then open the centrifuge and perform a full preventive maintenance on the unit. This includes lubricating and greasing any gears, parts, and mechanisms. The electronic boards are reviewed for defective or expiring electronic parts such as transistors or capacitors.
We then install the rotor and buckets and run the centrifuge at a low rpm to ensure it is balanced and running properly. Using a tachometer, we then calibrate the centrifuge at a low speed to ensure accuracy. After calibration of the centrifuge we then run it through continued testing. We test the unit for 20 minutes, 40 minutes and 60-minute cycles at various speeds. The various rcf and rpm tests allow us to test that low-speed calibration is holding at high centrifugation speeds.
Next the unit is given a secondary cleaning and decontamination. At that point we picture and video the unit to show you the exact centrifuge that you will be receiving including the specific rotor buckets and inserts. This ensures that once you order the centrifuge it can easily pass its additional outbound quality control and be shipped within 1 -3 days.
