Technical Specification Sheet

Sorvall Biofuge Primo Centrifuge

Max Speed
15,000 RPM

Max RCF
21,890 x g

Max Capacity
6 x 50mL (Fixed Angle) / 4 x 100mL (Swing-Bucket)

Features

Compatible with a variety of rotors and centrifuge tubes.
Achieves preset speed in seconds, allowing for efficient sample processing.
The maintenance-free induction motor operates quietly and without vibrations, even at high speeds.
User-Friendly control panel allows easy preselection of speed, run time, and run profile (acceleration and braking behavior).
“Quick Run” Function allows for centrifuging a sample for just a few seconds

The Sorvall Biofuge Primo Centrifuge enables high-performance or small-capacity processing with optional rotors and accessories as well as top speeds up to 15,000 rpm. This compact, high-performance centrifuge offers efficient yet flexible sample processing. The Biofuge Primo features automatic rotor recognition and imbalance detection with uniform temperature control. This rotor reaches a maximum speed of 4,000 rpm and 2,590 x g.

The Biofuge Primo is ideal for small medical labs, biochemistry, molecular biological research, and routine analysis in industrial laboratories. Typical applications include sedimentation of cells (algae, yeast, bacteria, etc.), sedimentation of cell organelles and cell fragments, sample preparation of DNA and protein precipitates, blood and urine analysis, and centrifugation of standard test series in microliter tubes.

All of our equipment is fully tested to perform at factory specifications before being shipped.

Please confirm this rotor meets your application needs and request a different rotor, if necessary. Available rotors can be found in our Rotor Compatibility Guide.

Centrifuge Inspection and Recertification Checklist

Confirm the power supply output voltages match specified requirements for stable distribution to all internal components
Measure and verify voltages at PCB test points to ensure accurate power delivery and circuit integrity
Confirm rotor compatibility with the centrifuge model and check that rotor detection systems recognize the rotor type
Inspect the exterior for any cosmetic or structural damage that could affect performance or safety
Check the door mechanism alignment to ensure secure and smooth opening and closing
Inspect and replace the gas strut with an OEM part to maintain proper door support and safety
Examine the rotor chamber bowl for dents or damage and replace as needed to ensure safe operation
Replace and confirm full functionality of all lid lock switches to maintain secure closure
Inspect and lubricate the door lock mechanism, applying grease to the lid lock rail for smooth operation
Test compressor functionality (if applicable) to ensure proper operation and consistent temperature control
Conduct an 8-12 hour cycle test to validate consistent performance over prolonged use
Confirm rotor motor stability, check for unusual noise, and assess mechanical integrity during operation
Inspect the condensation drain and clear any clogs to prevent moisture buildup in the rotor chamber
Verify RPM accuracy using an NIST-traceable tachometer and perform calibration as necessary
Check the centrifuge error log to ensure zero recorded issues, confirming system reliability
