Thermo Scientific™ X and S Series General Purpose Centrifuges

Thermo Scientific™ X and S Series General Purpose Centrifuges are designed to help provide exceptional performance, power and versatility through innovations to support efficiency across applications. 

With fixed-angle rotor RCF (Relative Centrifugal Force) of over 25,000 x g, and swinging bucket rotor RCF of over 7,000 x g, even the toughest separations can be completed. Scientists working across biopharmaceutical, academic research and clinical diagnostic applications can choose between 4 L (4 x 1,000 ml) ventilated benchtop or refrigerated floor and bench models.

X and S Series Centrifuges with GreenCool technology deliver powerful performance combined with more sustainable innovation. Featuring a next-generation natural refrigerant (R290) cooling system, it reduces environmental impact with a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of 3, while not contributing to depletion of the ozone layer and is compliant with EU F-gas regulations. In addition to being less hazardous, the centrifuges are more energy efficient. Furthermore, they are manufactured in a certified zero-waste facility using 100% renewable electricity in Osterode am Harz, Germany.

Better for the environment

The refrigeration system uses a hydrocarbon refrigerant (R290), a natural gas with a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of 3. It does not deplete the ozone layer and breaks down naturally in the environment, ensuring a more sustainable choice. Improved cooling performance X4 and S4 centrifuges with GreenCool technology maintain stable cooling at lower temperatures than the previous models, helping ensure the integrity of temperature-sensitive samples with a cooler -20°C temperature setpoint. 

Features for enhanced energy efficiency 

Green Mode: Green compressor on/off feature with shut-down programming can extend compressor life and reduce energy costs. 

Scheduling features: Scheduling capability promotes energy savings and enables pre-programmed start-up of compressor for temperature-ready centrifuge as soon as you arrive in the lab. 

Fiberlite rotor options: Thermo Scientific™ Fiberlite™ Carbon Fiber Rotors weigh up to 60% less than metal equivalent rotors and therefore help accelerate/decelerate faster, helping reduce energy consumption per run. Fiberlite rotors weigh up to 43% less than aluminium rotors.

Windshielded rotor options: Thermo Scientific™ H-Flex™ HS4, BIOShield™ 1000A and HIGHPlate™ 6000 Rotors are windshielded rotors and enable users to spin tubes, bottles and plates at higher speeds with less energy than non-windshielded designs of the same rotor body.
