Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., the world
leader in serving science, today introduced the new Thermo Scientific Fiberlite
LEX rotor series, combining lower rotor mass for superior ergonomics with
outstanding performance and safety. By taking the proven Fiberlite
®
carbon fiber rotor design to the next level, the Fiberlite F10-4x1000 LEX and
Fiberlite F12-6x500 LEX rotors are the lightest of their kind
1,
providing RCF up to 16,880 xg and 24,515 xg respectively to maximize
productivity. Ideal for use in biomedical and microbiological laboratories, the
Fiberlite LEX rotors provide multiple levels of protection against biological
agents and infectious substances, enhancing biosafety, without compromising
functionality.
This next generation of high-capacity Fiberlite
rotors couples the unequalled durability of corrosion- and fatigue-resistant
carbon fiber rotors with up to 60 percent reduction in weight
1.
Lower weight, combined with the rotor's lifting handle, improves ergonomics for
everyday safety and ease of handling. To further enhance safety, 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.
Fiberlite LEX rotors also feature Bioseal technology (certified by the HPA,
Porton Down, UK) and enhanced liquid containment (ELC), which prevents
biohazardous samples from escaping to the surrounding environment if spilled.
These new Fiberlite LEX rotors are a key
component of our integrated solution of centrifuges, rotors and accessories and
maximize performance with the versatility, speed and robust, corrosion-free
design that Fiberlite rotors are known for. For further information, please
