Features of Sorvall™ WX+ Ultracentrifuge Series
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
