Fiberlite™ F8-6 x 1000y high-capacity angle rotor: performance and reliability for your centrifugation applications
The Thermo Scientific™ Fiberlite™ F8-6 x 1000y angle rotor represents a major technological advance for laboratories that need to process large volumes while maintaining a high level of performance and safety. Specifically designed for Sorvall™ RC BIOS 6 centrifuges, this rotor can simultaneously centrifuge up to six 1,000 ml vials, making it an ideal choice for biotechnology, pharmaceutical research or industrial production laboratories requiring high throughput.
One of the main advantages of this rotor is its carbon fibre composite construction. This innovative material, which is both lightweight and extremely robust, gives the rotor increased resistance to corrosion, chemicals and mechanical stresses commonly found in intensive centrifugation environments. Thanks to its light weight, it is possible to achieve rotation speeds of up to 8,500 rpm, producing a maximum centrifugal force of 15,900 x g, while reducing mechanical stress on the centrifuge itself.
The rotor has a fixed angle of 20°, ideal for promoting efficient and homogeneous sample separation, thereby improving the quality of the results obtained. This feature makes it particularly suitable for complex applications such as cell lysate clarification, debris separation or subcell preparation. Its compatibility with Nalgene™ tubes and vials facilitates its integration into existing protocols without requiring significant changes to equipment or working habits.
In terms of safety, the Fiberlite™ F8-6 x 1000y is equipped with Enhanced Liquid Containment (ELC) technology, which effectively contains liquids in the event of leakage or breakage, protecting operators and extending the life of the equipment.
The Fiberlite™ F8-6 x 1000y rotor is a high-performance solution designed to maximise the efficiency of centrifugation cycles while offering optimal safety and exceptional durability.
