advantage
Perfomance and capacity for every application
Unmatched rotor optionsThe industry’s widest rotor range – spanningfixed-angle, swinging bucket, vertical, microtube,zonal and continuous flow types – meansunrivalled levels of Superspeed® versatility.
Lightweight SUPER-LITE® aluminiumand composite rotors have enhanced rotorperformance and sample capacity. UniqueSORVALL® ColorTone® and RX™ Rapid Accessrotors maximize convenience and productivity.
Most rotors can be used in any SORVALLfloor model Superspeed, giving you maximumflexibility and long-term value with your rotorinvestment.
Vacuum-free operationSORVALL Superspeeds reach speeds to26,000 rpm without dependence on complex anddelicate vacuum systems. There are no seals orfilters to maintain, and the absence of a vacuummeans less risk of tube and bottle leakage.
No bolt down necessaryUnlike competitive floor models, all containmentrequirements of CE, UL and CSA are met withoutbolt down. Installation is easier, and there’sflexibility to move the instrument from lab to labwithout compromising user safety.
Patented gyro driveSORVALL floor model Superspeeds have drivesystems that employ a patented gyro. This gyrodrive system provides the highest Superspeedimbalance tolerance on the market, allowingsample balancing by eye alone, and protecting themotor from damage should rotor imbalance occur.
If a rotor is unbalanced, the DuraFlex™ gyro flexesin two places to accommodate the misalignment
without damage to the drive shaft or motor.

Employing leading-edge technology,the Evolution® RC offers unmatchedproductivity with a six liter capacity, speeds to26,000 rpm and simplified sample handling.The bottom line is shorter processing timeswith more throughput – and of course,maximum SORVALL® reliability.
Configure your Evolution RC to match your needsand preferences. Choose an operator interfacewith quick setting rotary knobs or an easy toclean soft-touch keypad. Choose theEvolution RC Basic for simple, intelligentoperation with RunBrowser™, automatic RCF andsimultaneous display of set and run conditions.Or choose the Evolution RC Advanced, whichoffers enhanced functionality plus all the benefitsof the Basic model.
Fastest, easiest processing in the industryWith the SLC-6000 SUPER-LITE® compositerotor, you’ll process 6 liters of sample in a singlerun. Combining speeds to 26,000 rpm with fasteraccel/decel times than competitive instruments,the Evolution RC reduces overall spin times andoptimizes productivity.
Ergonomic design• The deck is only 33 inches (850 mm) from the
ground – the lowest profile on the market – whichmakes the rotor chamber and control paneleasily accessible
• Enjoy hands-free access to the rotor chamber.Simply nudge the chamber door with the rotorand it automatically slides open
• An integratedrotor lid holderprovidesconvenientlid storage,facilitatingaccessto samples
Consistent performanceThe built-in Constant Power System™ (CPS)provides power factor correction to ensure peakinstrument performance even under poor powersupply conditions. Input voltage can vary from187 – 253 V without speed or temperature controldegradation.
Plus, our unique DuoTherm™ system providescontinuous, alternate heating and cooling to holdtemperatures to within 2°C, even in standby.This not only prevents samples from freezing andchamber frost, but also eliminates frequent startingand stopping of the compressor – therebyextending compressor life.

Run-to-runreproducibility• Use ACE™ (ω2dt integrator)
to apply the same totalcentrifugal effect to ensurereproducible separations
• ACE automatically compensatesfor variations in acceleration due to fullor partial rotor loading by adjusting the run time
• Use ACE to assist in establishing protocols
Reduced powerconsumption• Shuts down the major systems -
compressor, fans, etc. and keepscomputer active to reduceenergy consumption duringinactive periods
• Have centrifuge ‘ready when you are’ and reduce energyconsumption too - set instrument to sleep overnight andwake itself up to start equilibriating temperature
• System stays initialized

Super capacity
Seven fixed-angle rotors with capacities from1 – 6 L are available for fast, efficient, largevolume cell pelleting. Multi-liter volumesof cultures grown in shake flasks, or large volumecultures grown in 20 – 30 L fermentors can beefficiently harvested.
Made specifically for the Evolution® RC,the 6-liter SLC-6000 composite rotor offersunsurpassed sample capacity and processing time atspeeds up to 8,500 rpm and RCFs to 15,810 x g.
The SUPER-LITE advantage
The SUPER-LITE series of rotors weigh from 30%to 50% less than previous generation metal rotors.
SUPER-LITE aluminium rotors offer higher topspeeds, fast acceleration and deceleration times andsuperior separation performance – the perfectchoice for laboratories that demand shorter runtimes with maximum throughput.
SUPER-LITE composite rotors weigh evenless than their aluminum counterparts for betterergonomics. The use of exclusively compositematerials provides greater corrosion resistanceand longer rotor life.
Many SORVALL fixed-angle rotors offerprotection against biohazards. Their uniquebiocontainment design, independently assessed andcertified by the Centre for Applied Microbiologyand Research at Porton Down, UK, ensures safecontainment of aerosols and biohazard spills.
