Thermo Scientific Sorvall WX Ultra Series floor standing centrifuges Available in 80k, 90k and 100k rpm models, these state-of-the-art ultracentrifuges pack cutting-edge technology and simple operation into a sleek, compact design for cell and molecular biology, genomic, and proteomic applications. The small footprint, reduced deck height, and whisper-quiet operation make these advanced centrifuges ideal for direct placement in the lab, while compatibility with the majority of popular ultra-rotors makes the Sorvall WX Ultra Series cost-effective and easy to integrate. Based on Thermo’s highly successful and reliable Sorvall centrifuge platform, the powerful Sorvall WX Ultra Series centrifuges can generate RCF’s up to 802,010 x g. An intuitive, color touch-screen interface enables straightforward protocol set-up and storage. Safety and time-management are significantly improved through a series of innovative features, such as rotor life management, run scheduling, automatic rpm/rcf conversion, step-mode operation and delayed start/stop functions. In addition, standalone run-simulation software significantly reduces time-consuming practice runs. Advanced design has also been applied to the broad range of rotors and tubes. The tubes can be visually balanced allowing accelerated sample preparation. The rotors ensure easier and more secure loading, giving the user greater peace of mind. The Sorvall WX series centrifuges can also utilize a continuous-flow rotor allowing the processing of many liters per hour, making the new centrifuges ideal for biotechnology and pharmaceutical scale-up processes. The Sorvall WX series is designed to be environmentally friendly with reduced power consumption and CFC/HCFC-free refrigeration. Security is assured by optional extras such as a user password lockout facility and HEPA filters.
