Thermo Fisher Scientific Introduces a New Line of Micro-ultracentrifuges
|
Thermo Scientific Sorvall MTX 150 Benchtop and MX Series Floor Model
Micro-ultracentrifuges for Outstanding Versatility
MILFORD, MA., (June 12, 2009) – Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., the world leader
in serving science, has introduced two new Thermo Scientific Sorvall
Micro-ultracentrifuge models, each delivering improved versatility in rapid,
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 cutting-edge drive system, providing maintenance-free
performance and rotor imbalance protection to ensure years of reliable and
dependable performance.
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
best-in-class acceleration, achieving its maximum rotational speed of 150,000
rpm in just 80 seconds. A state-of-the-art, user-friendly 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 convenient in-lab location. For further information, visit
