Thermo Sorvall ST4 Plus-MD Benchtop Centrifuge Features
Here are the key features of a Thermo Sorvall ST4 Plus-MD:
• Capacity: The ST4 Plus-MD can handle up to 4 Liters (4 x 1000 mL) of volume at 15,200 rpm maximum speed and at a maximum relative centrifugal force (RCF) of 25,830 x g.
• 196 x 5/7 mL Blood Tubes
• 148 x 9/10 mL Blood Tubes
• 96 x 15 mL Conical Tubes
• 40 x 50 mL Conical Tubes
• 6 Microplates
• 4 x 1000 mL BioBottles (with TX-1000 rotors)
• User-friendly: The ST4 Plus-MD’s motorized lid latch enables one finger downward motion for easiest closing and locking of the centrifuge lid, even on tall benches. It comes with an easy-to-use keypad and high contrast LCD display with a glove-friendly, one-handed open/close capability.
• Safety: The ST4 Plus-MD is secured with a locking system allowing easy push-button installation and exchange of rotors. Its SMARTSpin technology is an advanced rotor management system that maximizes acceleration, braking and residual load imbalance for each rotor and bucket option.

Our Testing Process
1. Centrifuge technician pre-tests the unit’s (1) speed sometimes to maximum speed for a few minutes, (2) refrigeration (if equipped), (3) spinning if they spin up and spin down properly, (4) checks the buttons, switches, timers if they are all working. Necessary parts for repair are ordered.
2. Once any parts come in for the unit, or they’re working, the centrifuge technician performs any necessary repairs.
3. The centrifuge technician runs the unit to maximum RPMs for a minimum of 1 hour while observing the refrigeration performance (if applicable). During this step, loud/unusual noises, smells, and extra heat build up are observed.
4. The centrifuge technician also observes the proper performance of sensors like temperature, vacuum (if equipped), rotor sensors, tach sensors, latch sensors, etc.
5. After a full hour run, the centrifuge technician takes a photo of the centrifuge display to be shown in the listing photos on New Life Scientific’s e-commerce platforms.
6. The centrifuge technician then does a thorough look over throughout the centrifuge to identify anything that is missing, loose, or damaged. The centrifuge technician follows New Life Scientific’s Centrifuge Technician Checklist at this time to make sure everything is checked accordingly.
7. The refrigeration condenser and chassis cleaned are both handled by blowing out the unit with compressed air or dry ice blasting.
8. Sensors are cleaned and/or re-installed with proper gap. Electrical connections are latched and tightened down properly.
9. Drive mounts, drive brushes, gas springs are checked and replaced, if necessary.
10. The centrifuge is then cleaned and if needed, painted as well, to make sure the unit comes out as standard as we can.

Thermo Sorvall ST4 Plus-MD Benchtop Centrifuge Applications
• Cell Biology and Biochemistry - The centrifuge is commonly used for harvesting cells from cultures in bioprocessing, cell culture studies, and in research applications. It aids in separating proteins from other cellular components in studies related to biochemistry. It also helps isolate and concentrate RNA or DNA from biological samples.
• Blood Separation - Centrifuges are used to separate blood components (plasma, serum, and cells) for diagnostic tests, blood banking, or plasma collection for medical treatments.
• Urine and Stool Sample Analysis - For isolating cells, bacteria, or other particles for microbiological analysis or diagnostics.
• Microbiological Testing - Separation of microorganisms from biological samples for culture or identification.
• Water Quality Testing - Used to separate particulates, microorganisms, or contaminants from water samples for analysis in environmental monitoring.
• Viral Particle Isolation - In research on viruses, benchtop centrifuges help isolate viral particles from cell cultures or biological samples.
• Gene Therapy Applications - In genetic research, centrifuges assist in separating viral vectors, plasmids, or other generic materials from cultures.
• Nanoparticle Synthesis - Used for separating nanoparticles or other fine materials form solution after synthesis.
• Food and Beverage Industry - Used to separate fats from milk or cream during processing in the dairy industry. Used to remove pulp and other solid particles from fruit juice. In the fermentation process for beer and wine production, centrifuges help separate yeast from liquids.
• Forensic Science - In forensic investigations, benchtop centrifuges help isolate blood components or bodily fluids for DNA extraction and analysis. Can also help to analyze drugs, poisons, or other toxic compounds.
• Teaching Tool/Educational - In educational settings, benchtop centrifuges are used in laboratory classes for demonstrations on centrifugation principles and sample preparation techniques.
