The Thermo Scientific ST16R Refrigerated Centrifuge features auto-lock rotor system, click-seal bucket sealing system, SMARTspin technology, rotor detection, electronic imbalance detection, space-saving design, and outstanding energy efficiency. The ST16R is extremely easy to use with intuitive controls and one finger lid close. Easily pre-set speed, RCF value, running time, temperature, and running profile (acceleration and braking curves) for each run. This refrigerated model offers a temperature range of -10°C to 40°C with speeds from 300 to 15,200 RPM, dependent upon rotor used. We may have different adapters available depending on the rotor chosen with this centrifuge. If the selected rotor includes adapters that will not work for your application, please inquire.The Thermo ST16R is recommended for use with cell culture and blood processing. All of our equipment is in excellent condition and will be 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.
The Thermo Scientific ST16R Refrigerated Centrifuge includes:
- > Selected Rotor Above
- > NIST Centrifuge Calibration and Preventative Maintenance Report
- > Power Cord
- > Operator's Guide
- > Full 180 Day Parts and Labor Warranty
