Cell Culture packages include the centrifuge, rotor, ClickSeal biocontainment lids and a set of four 15 mL and 50 mL conical tube adapters.

Blood Tube packages include the centrifuge, rotor, ClickSeal biocontainment lids and a set of four 5/7 mL and 9/10 mL blood tube adapters.

Easy to Use:

  • Intuitive controls simplify operation and provide detailed information on a wide range of operating parameters and processing status for optimal performance.
  • Modern industrial design supports continuous improvement in rotor loading ergonomics, user safety and current needed certifications
  • Motorized lid latch enables one finger downward motion for easiest closing and locking of centrifuge lid, even on tall benches.
  • Secure locking system allows easy push-button installation and exchange of rotors.
  • System saves time when switching between applications.
  • Easy access to rotor chamber offers quick cleaning, a healthier working environment and longer unit life.
  • Biocontainment solution seals with a snap; eliminates screw caps and complicated clips.
  • System has glove-friendly, one-handed open/close capability.
  • System is certified by CAMR™ in Porton Down, UK.
  • Advanced rotor management system maximizes acceleration, braking and residual load imbalance for each rotor and bucket option:
  • Technology optimizes safety and improves separations.

Space-Saving Design:

  • Compact dimensions optimize work area and ergonomic height and curved design ensure easy sample loading and unloading and easy cleaning.

Energy Efficient:

  • System offers up to 40% energy consumption savings on industry standard protocols, such as standard blood separation or conical tubes processing.

General purpose plus centrifuges

Consistency and capacity for everyday applications

Thermo Scientific General Purpose Plus Centrifuges offer versatility with up to 15 rotor options. Their mid-performance drives are designed for applications demanding consistency, repeatability, and high throughput run after run, such as basic research and clinical applications with repetitive protocols. Ergonomic design and ease of use make them a robust, reliable solution for labs with multiple users. Choose either the 1.6 L or 4 L capacity configuration, available in ventilated and refrigerated models to match your needs. The 4 L models are available as benchtop and floor-standing versions.

Key product highlights

Easy-to-use LCD control panel

Standard, easy-to-use interface with button-functionality and bright LCD display.

Quick rotor exchange

Auto-Lock rotor exchange provides flexibility to quickly switch between applications in less than three seconds without the need for any tools.

Protective of user and samples

Biocontainment sealing options, including certified1 ClickSeal lids offer glove-friendly, one-handed operation.

Exceptionally versatile for multi-user settings

Compact 1.6 L capacity models support up to 15 optional swinging bucket and fixed angle rotors. For maximum capacity in 4 L models, the spacious TX-1000 rotor can run up to 196 blood tubes and forty 50 mL conical tubes. The 4 L models support up to 13 different rotors. The Auto-Lock system lets you easily switch between rotors in seconds, with one hand, for great flexibility.

Bright, easy-to-use LCD control panel

Programs are directly accessible from six buttons. Simply scroll to enter speed, time, temperature, and acceleration and deceleration parameters. Select a pulse run or open the lid with a push of a button. The panel displays English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, and Russian languages.
