Sorvall Legend T Benchtop Centrifuge
The Sorvall Legend T Benchtop Centrifuge used for many
different assays, including protein studies, DNA precipitation, tissue culture,
virological tests, and more. This centrifuge comes with four place swinging
bucket rotor and buckets for high volume spins. The Sorvall Legend T features
electronic imbalance detection with optimum run stability and includes program
memory to increase efficiency in processing. This benchtop centrifuge contains
a time for one to 10 hours and tops out at a speed of 15,000 RPM (24,400 x G).
The Legend T offers easy to read display panels with soft-touch keypad controls
and digital readouts.
This rotor reaches a maximum speed of 4,150 RPM.
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.

- 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
