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.
