Thermo Fisher Scientific Introduces a new Line of Micro-ultracentrifuges
Product News Jun 15, 2009
Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. has introduced two new Thermo Scientific Sorvall
Micro-ultracentrifuge models, each delivering improved versatility in small
volume processing of samples including viruses, cellular organelles,
lipoproteins, nucleic acids and nanoparticles.
Both new
micro-ultracentrifuge models offer an expanded volume range, accommodating tubes
from 0.2 mL to 30 mL. These systems use a drive system, providing
maintenance-free performance and rotor imbalance protection.
The Sorvall
MTX 150 is up to 20% smaller than other benchtop models in its class and puts
almost any separation within reach with a centrifugal force in excess of
1,048,000 x g. Its sleek design and quiet operation (45dBA) offer a comfortable
working environment.
Productivity is maximized with its maximum
rotational speed of 150,000 rpm in just 80 seconds. A LCD touch-screen interface
simplifies operation while providing a range of operating features.
The
new Sorvall MX series offers the same versatility as the Sorvall MTX 150 in the
most- compact floor model configuration currently on the market. Available in
two versions with maximum speeds of 150,000 rpm or 120,000 rpm, its small
footprint of 2.3 square ft (0.21 sq M), in combination with minimal noise (below
48 dBA) enables in-lab location.
