New Superspeed Centrifuges Take Center Stage

The centrifuge is capable of a top speed of 100,000 x g while supporting multiple combinations of rotors, tubes, and bottles from 50 mL conical tubes and microplates up to one liter bottles to a capacity of six liters.

The instruments offer secure, push-button rotor exchange in less than three seconds. Auto-Lock technology ensures that the rotor is automatically and securely locked and will not loosen during a run. Auto-ID instant rotor identification recognizes a rotor when secured in the chamber, improving safety, saving time, and protecting sample integrity.

The LYNX centrifuges use lightweight, corrosion-resistant Fiberlite carbon fiber rotors, including some with lids for microbiological containment. Run set-up is controlled via an intuitive touchscreen interface that features a bright, highly visible, and durable display.

“Today’s researchers require centrifuge performance that is simplified, to accommodate the reality that labs have multiple users with different experience levels and a variety of processing requirements,” said Thermo Fisher Scientific's global centrifugation product director Maurizio Merli. “Our new Sorvall LYNX superspeed centrifuges dramatically simplify high-speed centrifuges while increasing user safety and peace of mind. We accomplish this with breakthrough technology advancements, such as the Auto-Lock rotor exchange, Auto-ID instant rotor identification and carbon fiber rotors.”
