The RC-5B is a floor-model, refrigerated superspeed centrifuge that can be used at e speeds from 100 rpm to 21.000 rpm.
The centrifuge has a fan-cooled motor that is balanced and enclosed in an air-cooled silencer to ensure smooth, quiet operation over its full speed range an to promote long life for the brushes and bearings. The gyro-action centering drive accepts a variety of Sorvall rotors.
The refrigeration system is a low-temperature, hermetically-sealed unit consisting of a compressor, condenser, evaporator / rotor chamber and interconnecting tubing. During operation, the cooling system will maintain rotor compartment temperature withing 1 0C of setpoint.
