New Superspeed Centrifuges Take Center Stage

Biotech and other life science researchers are being introduced to a new series of high speed centrifuges that takes advantage of the latest technological improvements in order to deliver optimum performance while maintaining the maximum level of user safety.

The new Thermo Scientific (Milford, MA, USA) Sorvall LYNX superspeed centrifuge series features built-in safety and rotor technology innovations that shorten run set-up time and increase security. 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.”
