This ALC PK 131R Multi-Speed Refrigerated Centrifuge was removed from a university lab where it was surplus to requirements.

The unit powers on and has been tested down to -10 degC which is max. It got there pretty quickly. It has been tested up to 2000rpm only as if you try to run it higher than this it shows an Error-2 message. We believe this is probably due to a lack of rotor.

It is in very good, used cosmetic condition.

This unit was removed from a university store room as surplus to requirements.

The unit runs at a fixed speed, and heats to 37-40C.

The rotor tube holes are 11.5mm wide and 17mm long with 72 holes.

This Beckman Coulter Allegra 6KR Centrifuge with 3750rpm Rotor was removed from a university lab where it was surplus to requirements.

The unit is in good cosmetic condition but has been previously used.

The unit powers up, and the refrigeration works well - it cooled down to -15. The rotor and buckets are rated for 3750rpm. The centrifuge works well and maxed out at 3,800rpm in line with the limits. We are not sure if this model is intended to heat beyond ambient temp - but if it is, this particular unit does not heat up.

This Beckman Coulter Benchtop Centrifuge Model - Allegra X-12R was removed from a university lab where it was surplus to requirements.

The unit powers up and seems to be in working order. The rotor runs up to 3750rpm which seems to be the max speed of this centrifuge.

The temperature was tested with a digital thermometer (not included).  It was set to -10˚C and reached -14.5˚C. It was then set to the max temp of 40˚C but did not get higher than 13.9˚C which was room temperature at the time of testing.

Included are;

Rotor - Beckman Coulter SX4750 - SN - 04U 946 - 4 x 750ml

4 x Beckman Coulter Buckets - SX4750/SX4750A Max 4750rpm

2 x Beckman Coulter Blue Inserts - 341761 - 4 x 35mm Tube holes

2 x Beckman Coulter Green Inserts - 345371 - 4 x 50ml Tube holes

This Centurion K2R Series Laboratory Centrifuge Model: K240R was removed from a university lab where it was surplus to requirements.

The unit is in reasonably good cosmetic condition but there are some scratches on the exterior and lid. The lid requires a fair amount of pressure to lock shut. The interior has some stains on the rotor and the plastic on the Eurotherm Drives has a crack.

The centrifuge powers up and has been tested up to 38000rpm.

We also tested the temperature settings with a digital thermometer (not included).

We set it to the lowest temperature of -9˚C, the display reached -8˚C and our thermometer measured -4.6˚C.

We then set it to the max temperature of 40˚C. Our thermometer measured 36.1˚C.

Included with this item are the following:

1x Eurotherm Drive

4x Bucket Adapters

Fits 1 x 50ml test vials

4x Bucket Adapters

Fits 5 x 2.0ml test vials

Both types of adapters have a diameter of 69.55mm and a height of 9cm.

This Centurion Scientific Ltd Cell Prep Series Laboratory Centrifuge was removed from a university lab where it was surplus to requirements.

The unit powers up but we could not get it to spin. We think there may be a problem with the lid mechanism not recognising that the lid is closed.

It is in reasonable cosmetic condition but has some rust on the lid as well as some other marks.

This unit was removed from a lab as surplus to requirements.

We have tested it to Maximum Speed with no apparent issues.

Unit should be inspected by a competent engineer on arrival to ensure it is still balanced and safe to use.

This Denley Refrigerated Centrifuge Model BR401 with Rotor was removed from a university lab where it was surplus to requirements.

The unit powers on and runs to 6000rpm. It was tested to both heat and cool. When set to -30C it reached -9C. When set to 30C it reached 20C.

It is in reasonably good cosmetic condition but has lots of marks from use.

This Eppendorf 5414 Benchtop Laboratory Centrifuge was removed from a university lab where it was surplus to requirements.

The unit is in reasonable, used cosmetic condition but it does have quite a bit of staining to the outer plastic. Also inside the main chamber is a bit stained. It appears as well that the inspection plastic is missing from the top of the lid so the main compartment is not fully covered.

It runs as it should though. The timer and standard spin mode work fine.

The rotor has 12 holes and they measure 11mm x 45mm approx. It is rated at 12000rpm.

This Eppendorf 5415 D Centrifuge was removed from a lab during a clearance.

The unit is in good cosmetic condition but does not power up. The lab it was removed from reported that it was damaged during a power surge. It does make some high pitched noises when plugged in but we suspect the transformer is blown.

There is no rotor included.

Spares or Repair.

This Eppendorf 5415D Centrifuge was removed from a university where it was surplus to requirements.

The unit did not power up in testing so we were unable to test it. It is in good cosmetic condition but there is no rotor incuded.

This Eppendorf Benchtop Laboratory Centrifuge 5415 R was removed from a university lab where it was surplus to requirements.

The unit powers up and the lid opening mechanism works. We however could not get it to run. "Error 17" is displayed on the screen which is an electronics failure. More specifically it seems to be a board failure.

It is in reasonably good cosmetic condition but has some marks from use.

It is fitted with an F45-24-11 rotor rated at 13200rpm and has 24x 3,75g wells.

It is sold for spares or repairs due to the fault.

This Eppendorf Benchtop Laboratory Centrifuge 5417C was removed from a university lab where it was surplus to requirements.

The unit powers up and the rotor runs smoothly up to the max of 14000rpm. The centrifuge is capable of going up to 20800rpm.

Included with it is;

1 x Rotor - Eppendorf 24 x 3.75g TE010

F 45-24-11 01433

Max rpm 14000

24 x slots for 2ml tubes.

The centrifuge is in reasonably good cosmetic condition with some marks from use.

This Eppendorf Benchtop Laboratory Centrifuge Model 5417C with 14000rpm Rotor was removed from a university lab where it was surplus to requirements.

The unit powers up and has been tested between 27rcf and 20817rcf.

It is in reasonably good cosmetic condition with some marks from use. The unit has had a brand new power switch fitted. The seal is in reasonable condition but may benefit from a replacement being fitted.

The rotor accomodates 2mL tubes.

This Eppendorf Centrifuge Model 5424 was removed from a university lab where it was surplus to requirements.

The unit powers up but is indicating a lid error. The LCD display is working but the centrifuge has not been tested.

There is some damage to the casing, but it is in otherwise good, clean condition. There is no rotor supplied.

It is sold as spares or repairs due to the damage and lid error.

This Eppendorf Centrifuge Model 5424 was removed from a university lab where it was surplus to requirements.

The unit powers up but will not operate citing a "no rpm" error (likely because there is no rotor fitted). It was not tested further. It is rated at 14680rpm.

It is in fairly poor cosmetic condition and there is damage to both the casing and the interior.

It is sold as spares or repairs.

This Eppendorf Micro-Centrifuge Model 5424 was removed from a university lab where it was surplus to requirements.

The unit does not power up and repeatedly blew fuses.

It's in fairly good cosmetic condition but there is a slight crack to the casing.

It is sold for spares or repairs.

This Fisher Scientific AccuSpin Micro R Laboratory Centrifuge was removed from a university lab where it was surplus to requirements.

The unit is in good used cosmetic condition but it does have some marks from stickers and general use.

Unit powers up fine and appears to run as it should. The lid wouldn't open initially and it came with paperclips velcroed to the unit.

This would suggest they had been using the emergency release to open the lid. We have greased and oiled the lid release and it does now appear to work as it should.

The unit was run at 2000rpm for 5 mins which it did fine. We set the unit to 37degC but the temperature didn't move from 10degC.

We then ran it at the max of 13,000rpm for 5 mins which it also achieved without issue. The temperature rose from 10degC to 16DegC in those 5 mins.

The centrifuge runs very quietly.

When left long enough the unit does start to chill. You can hear the compressor kick in but it does appear to take quite some time for the temperature to drop. It was set to -9 and left for a few hours. The unit showed -9 but our thermometer showed -22degC.
