Thermo Fisher Scientific has introduced the Fiberlite LEX series of rotors, suitable for use in biomedical and microbiological laboratories.
The Thermo Scientific Fiberlite LEX rotor series combines low rotor mass with excellent performance and safety, according to the company.
The Fiberlite F10-4x1000 LEX and Fiberlite F12-6x500 LEX rotors are lightweight and are claimed to provide RCF of up to 16,880xg and 24,515xg respectively to maximise productivity.
The rotors provide protection against biological agents and infectious substances, enhancing biosafety.
This next generation of high-capacity Fiberlite rotors provides the durability of corrosion- and fatigue-resistant carbon-fibre rotors with up to a 60 per cent reduction in weight.
Lower weight, combined with the rotor's lifting handle, improves ergonomics for everyday safety and straightforward handling.
To enhance safety, the Fiberlite LEX rotors feature a dual-locking lid that provides sample containment by enabling the rotor to remain sealed while being transported to a biocontainment hood.
The Fiberlite LEX rotors also feature Bioseal technology (certified by the HPA) and enhanced liquid containment (ELC), which prevents biohazardous samples from escaping to the surrounding environment if spilled.
