Swing Rotor High Speed Refrigerated Centrifuge (4 x 750 mL)
Swing Rotor High Speed Refrigerated Centrifuge (4 x 750 mL) - ToronCent™ HSR SB
ToronCent HSR SB swing bucket refrigerated centrifuge carries two horizontal rotors, 4 x 750 mL and 4 x 500 mL, alongside ten fixed-angle rotors on the same drive. Speed reaches 21,000 rpm and relative centrifugal force reaches 30,642 x g. The chamber holds any setpoint from -20°C to 40°C within ±1°C. Bench footprint measures 710 x 560 x 450 mm.
Both headline figures come from one rotor here, the 12 x 1.5/2.2 mL angle rotor, which runs 21,000 rpm at 30,642 x g. The swing rotors sit at the other end of the range: 4,000 rpm and 3,500 x g for the 750 mL configuration, 3,345 x g for the 500 mL. Volume and force trade against each other across the lineup, so the rotor named on a quote determines what a run can actually do.
Microprocessor control drives a touch panel and LCD display, with storage for 99 user-defined programs. Automatic rotor identification reads the installed rotor and holds speed at its rating before a run starts. Protection covers imbalance, over-speed, and over-temperature, and an electronic interlock keeps the door closed while the rotor turns. A non-CFC R404a compressor circuit handles the cooling.
Swing Rotor High Speed Refrigerated Centrifuge (4 x 750 mL) - ToronCent™ HSR SB Applications
Two swing rotors plus a full set of angle rotors put bulk bucket work and high-force tube work on one instrument.
- Blood Banking and Transfusion Services: separates whole blood into packed cells, plasma, and platelet fractions in 4 x 750 mL buckets, with adapters carrying up to 27 vacuum collection tubes per bucket
- Clinical Diagnostics: prepares serum and plasma in four-bucket batches, with blood collection tube adapters available for both bucket sizes
- Cell Culture and Bioprocess Development: harvests bacterial, yeast, and mammalian cultures from flasks and small bioreactor draws without splitting the batch across runs
- Molecular Biology and Genomics: pellets nucleic acid precipitates and clears lysates on angle rotors reaching 30,642 x g
- Protein Purification and Enzymology: collects precipitated protein and removes cell debris while the chamber holds near 4°C
- Immunoassay and Plate Processing: spins deep-well and standard microplates using the microplate bucket fitted to the 4 x 500 mL rotor
- Microbiology and Virology: concentrates cultures and viral preparations inside aerosol-tight buckets when the sample requires containment
- Pharmaceutical and Biotechnology Quality Control: clarifies in-process and release samples under controlled temperature
- Environmental and Water Analysis: settles suspended solids from bulk field samples ahead of instrumental analysis
Standards
Cence provides no international test standard references for the H2100R platform, and Torontech carries forward only what the manufacturer documents. Ask for the declaration of conformity and factory calibration record at the time of order, then qualify the unit under the laboratory's own equipment verification procedure before regulated use.
Swing Rotor High Speed Refrigerated Centrifuge (4 x 750 mL) - ToronCent™ HSR SB Key Features
The build centers on horizontal separation at volume, with a motor and control set chosen for the inertia that heavy swing rotors bring.
- Two Swing Rotor Options: 4 x 750 mL and 4 x 500 mL horizontal rotors mount on the same drive, so one instrument covers both bulk formats
- Twelve Rotors Total: ten fixed-angle rotors from 12 x 1.5/2.2 mL through 6 x 100 mL complement the two swing rotors
- AC Frequency-Conversion Motor: variable output frequency delivers smooth torque across the speed range, which suits high-inertia bucket loads
- Aerosol-Tight Buckets: sealed round buckets are available for both swing rotors when the sample calls for containment
- Microplate Bucket: deep-well and standard 96-well plates spin in the 4 x 500 mL rotor
- 99 User-Defined Programs: stored methods recall in one step, which standardizes technique across shifts and operators
- Ten Acceleration and Eleven Deceleration Rates: ramp control keeps blood component layers and soft pellets intact through braking
- Automatic Rotor Identification: the drive recognizes the installed rotor and enforces its individual speed rating as over-speed protection
- Imbalance Detection: the control system halts a run when bucket loading falls outside tolerance, protecting the drive bearing
- Electronic Door Interlock: the lid stays locked while the rotor turns and releases only at rest
- Non-CFC Refrigeration: an R404a compressor circuit holds -20°C to 40°C within ±1°C without ozone-depleting refrigerant
- Three Timing Modes: start timing, speed timing, and continuous timing cover protocols that count from different reference points
- Microprocessor Control with Touch Panel: setpoints and running parameters display on an LCD, with direct entry rather than knob adjustment
Theory and Method
Swing rotors carry more mass farther from the axis than angle rotors, which makes loading balance the governing operational discipline. Buckets must sit in opposing pairs of matched weight, counting bucket, adapter, tubes, and sample together. A mismatch of a few grams at 4,000 rpm produces a rotating force the drive bearing has to absorb. The instrument monitors for imbalance and stops the run rather than letting the condition persist.
A loaded 4 x 750 mL rotor represents substantial rotational inertia, so bringing it to speed and back demands controlled torque rather than raw power. An AC frequency-conversion motor varies its output frequency to deliver torque smoothly across the whole speed range, which matters more with heavy swing rotors than with light microtube rotors. Ten acceleration and eleven deceleration rates set how gradually that torque applies.
Bucket size sets both capacity and reach. The 750 mL buckets extend farther from the axis and generate 3,500 x g at 4,000 rpm, while the 500 mL buckets reach 3,345 x g at the same speed. Adapter choice then divides that volume: one 500 mL bottle, four 100 mL tubes, or 56 microtubes per bucket, among other configurations. Force stays the same regardless of how the bucket is subdivided, so tube count is a throughput decision rather than a separation one.
