Total Solution for Super-Speed Centrifuge Workflow

Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc has announced the Super-speed Centrifuge Workflow Solution to help scientists spin sample volumes at a higher capacity and at higher speeds than ever before. Using the new Nalgene® 1L super-speed centrifuge bottle, which holds a full litre of liquid, researchers can now save a significant amount of time. By running far fewer centrifugation cycles - taking advantage of the high volume - separating large volumes of cell harvests and pelleting large volumes has never been quicker.

This super-speed workflow solution provides seamless compatibility between the new Nalgene bottle, FIBERLite® carbon fiber rotors, and Thermo Scientific Sorvall® Super-speed centrifuges. Suitable for centrifuge applications at very high speeds, the new Nalgene super-speed 1L bottles are used to process cell harvests and intermediates for vaccine production, or for any application requiring large capacity processing. When matched with a 1 x 4L FIBERLite carbon fiber rotor and a Sorvall RC-6 Plus or a 1 x 6L FIBERLite carbon fibre rotor and the Sorvall Evolution centrifuge, these precision-engineered centrifuge bottles enable scientists to centrifuge up to 6 litres of sample at speeds that create forces of up to 15,810 x G.

The ultra-lightweight carbon fibre rotors from FIBERLite are resistant to corrosion and fatigue, delivering seamless compatibility with both the new Nalgene 1L super-speed centrifuge bottles and the Sorvall super-speed centrifuge models. The rotors work to maximise high-throughput, high-speed centrifuge processes.

The Sorvall RC 6 Plus and Evolution RC super-speed centrifuges offer an extremely quick sample processing capability at speeds of up to 22,000 (55,200 x G) and 26,000 (70,450 x G) rpm, respectively. The two centrifuges can handle the most demanding of high-throughput applications as the Sorvall RC 6 Plus can process up to 4L, and the Evolution RC can process 6L. By eliminating the need for vacuum seals or filters, Sorvall Super-speed centrifuges reduce the risk of tube and bottle leakage. Both models comply with CE and CSA standards.
