More Information
Auto-Lock III Rotor
- Install and remove rotors in 3-seconds; efficient, flexible and safe
- Push button feature safely and securely locks rotor in place and shortens run set-up time
- Eliminates bolting rotor to motorshaft—no need for tools and complicated rotor changing
- Easily change rotor between protocols for application flexibility
- Chamber is easy to access and cleans quickly
- Promotes a healthier working environment and extends life of unit
- Auto-Lock available with General Purpose and Superspeed Centrifuges.
- General Purpose: Sorvall™ Legend™ X1/XT/XF, Sorvall ST 16/40, Heraeus Multifuge X1/X3, Heraeus™ Megafuge™ 16/40, SL 16/40
- Superspeed: Sorvall™ LYNX™ 6000/4000
- Note: Auto-Lock rotors not interchangeable between superspeed and general purpose benchtop centrifuges
ClickSeal Bucket Sealing System
- Provides streamlined biocontainment solution Certified by HPA in Porton Down, UK (formerly CAMR)
- Simple operation eliminates screw caps and clips
- Glove-and detergent-friendly unit can be opened and closed with right or left hand
- Broad chemical resistant sealing covers (transparent and biocompatible polyetherimide (PEI)
- Durable covers have excellent thermal properties and strength
SMARTSpin Technology - Optimizes safety and improves separations
- Advanced rotor management maximizes, residual load, acceleration and braking of rotor and bucket options
- Auto-correct and detection features adapts load imbalances and abnormal vibrations (caused by tube breakage or leaks)
Fiberlite Carbon Fiber Rotors
- Lightweight corrosion-resistant rotor for faster speeds, increased capacity and high g-force (up to 25,000 xg)
- Corrosion and fatigue resistant material eliminates safety hazards caused by moisture and laboratory chemicals
- Lightweight design allows faster acceleration and deceleration rates
- Enhanced Liquid Containment (ELC) keeps fluids in curved annulus in event of tube or bottle failure
- Cost efficient single disposable conical tube supports complete workflow
- Protects from contamination risk and eliminates autoclaving (sample transfers and non-productive tasks)
- Spins at maximum speeds up to 24,500 xg without tube damage; reduces processing times
- Flexible; able to process 15 ml conical tubes with available adapters and allows spinning of popular tubes above their rated RCF
- Ensures samples are kept at a constant temperature during operation
- Enhances biohazard containment of samples when used with biocontainment rotors certified by HPA, Porton Down, UK (formerly CAMR)
- Compatible with Thermo Scientific Nalgene bottles and tubes for complete centrifuge solutions
- Longer lifetime of Fiberlite rotors saves money and eliminates need of equipment disposal
