Sorvall RC26 Plus Refrigerated Centrifuge
The Sorvall RC26 Plus Refrigerated Centrifuge offers simplicity of operation and durability for intensive
use. Its user-friendly controls make set-up simple even for inexperienced
users, speeding up parameter setting and reducing errors. The RC26 Plus features the industrys widest rotor range spanning fixed angle, swinging bucket,
vertical, microtube, zonal, and continuous flow types which means
unrivalled levels of superspeed versatility. Reach speeds up to 26,000 RPM with a maximum RCF of 70,450 x g. Expect temperatures from -20C to +40C and excellent temperature stability and sample retention.
The Sorvall RC26 Plus is fully tested to perform at factory specifications and prepped for immediate shipment. 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.
The Sorvall RC26 Plus Refrigerated Centrifuge includes:
- > SS34 Fixed Angle Rotor
- > Calibration Report
- > Power Cord
- > Full 180 Day Parts and Labor Warranty
