Sorvall WX 80+ Ultracentrifuge

Maximize space in your lab with the small footprint of the Thermo Scientific™ Sorvall™ WX+ ultracentrifuge series. Spinning up to 100,000rpm, these Sorvall WX+ ultracentrifuges deliver the speed and performance required for your high performance processing applications. Plus lightweight and fatigue-resistant Thermo Scientific™ Fiberlite™ carbon fiber rotors that do not need to be derated over time, and an intuitive, easily accessible touch screen interface and imbalance tolerance to accelerate run set-up.

• Available in 80,000, 90,000 and 100,000rpm models, offering RCF up to 802,000 x g.
• Small footprint is ideal for labs where space is limited, while a low deck height (86.3cm/ 33.9in) makes rotor loading and unloading easy
• Non-bolt down design greatly simplifies installation and flexibility to relocate within a facility
• Self-locking rotor system provides confidence that the rotor is automatically and securely locked
• Intuitive full color LCD touch screen keeps operation and programing simple. Located at the front of the instrument, this easy-to-navigate graphical display provides quick access to all functions and menus.
• Monitor instrument status from across the lab with Stat Light, our multi-color, programmable 47cm long LED bar mounted on the front of the instrument for easy visibility
• Automatic tube balance compensation accelerates sample preparation by allowing visual sample balancing up to 5mm

The extensive rotor portfolio for the Sorvall WX+ ultracentrifuge series supports labware from microtubes to 250mL bottles–providing applications flexibility as your lab’s research focus evolves.

Choose Fiberlite carbon fiber rotors for unequalled durability and high performance.

• Fatigue-resistance provides structural integrity, eliminating the need to derate or limit the speed over the rotor lifespan
• Corrosion-resistant design protects against damage due to moisture, chemicals, alkaline solutions or other salts in the laboratory
• Lightweight rotors improve ergonomics for a safer work environment and minimize the risk of damage to centrifuge equipment
• Repairable
• Secure investment, backed by a 15-year warranty†

Our Sorvall WX+ ultracentrifuges optimize your existing rotor inventory by accepting ultra rotors from most major manufacturers. Ask your sales representative for details.

Ultraspeed Centrifuges

Ultracentrifugation simplified at every turn

The small footprint design of the Sorvall WX+ ultracentrifuge series helps maximize space in your lab. Speeds of up to 100,000 rpm match your lab’s needs and provide high performance for applications from genomics to proteomics. An open rotor system lets you use most ultraspeed rotors from other major manufacturers for flexibility.

The Sorvall MTX/MX+ micro-ultracentrifuge series, which produces over 1 million x g, features advanced functionality in a compact footprint, with both floor-standing and benchtop configurations. Quiet operation, as low as 45 dB, lets technicians work with minimal distraction. The high torque drive in the MTX 150 centrifuge provides fast acceleration and deceleration rates, which means quick separations and less waiting at the end of the run.

Lightweight Fiberlite carbon fiber rotors are versatile options for ultracentrifuges. These fatigue-resistant rotors do not need to be derated over time. Rugged titanium rotors come in a variety of speed and capacities to accommodate different tubes. Continuous flow and zonal rotors are also available for high volume downstream processing, including density gradient separations.

Key product highlights

Visual sample balancing

Automatic tube balance compensation helps accelerate sample preparation by allowing visual sample balancing up to 5 mm for safe, reliable runs.

Secured rotor locking

The self-locking rotor system on ultracentrifuges automatically secures the rotor to the drive shaft. This innovation eliminates the need to manually secure the rotor, facilitating rotor installation and enhancing safety.

Touchscreen interface

The full-color graphical display is easy to read and navigate and simplifies setup and control of run parameters such as time, speed, and RCF. Manage rotor life by tracking the number of rotor runs and total spin hours. Optional Log Manager software provides extra intelligence to support GMP and GLP compliance.
