The Thermo Scientific BIOShield 720 swing-out rotor is a windshielded swinging bucket rotor for the Multifuge X1 Pro and Megafuge ST1 Plus centrifuges. Moreover, this rotor features integrated biocontainment certified by TÜV NORD CERT. In addition, the BIOShield 720 reaches a maximum speed of 6,300 rpm and an RCF of 7,188 x g. As a result, this rotor delivers the highest RCF in the 1.6L benchtop swing-out segment.
Furthermore, the windshielded design enables higher speeds than open swinging bucket rotors. Therefore, the BIOShield 720 consumes less energy per run than comparable rotor bodies. Moreover, the integrated windshield prevents aerosol formation during centrifugation. As a result, you process biohazardous samples safely without separate ClickSeal lids.
Additionally, the BIOShield 720 supports twelve different adapter configurations. Subsequently, you can run 180 mL bio-bottles, 100 mL open-top tubes, 50 mL conical tubes and microtubes in a single rotor. Furthermore, this rotor accommodates up to 160 microtubes of 1.5/2 mL or 80 blood tubes of 5/7 mL per run. In addition, you combine high RCF with flexible sample processing.
Finally, you switch the BIOShield 720 in just three seconds thanks to Thermo Scientific Auto-Lock rotor exchange. As a result, no tools are required for a rotor change. Moreover, you switch quickly between pelleting protocols, virus research or microbiology applications where high RCF and biocontainment are essential.

Windshielded swing-out rotor with integrated biocontainment for Thermo Scientific Multifuge X1 Pro and Megafuge ST1 Plus centrifuges. With a maximum capacity of 4 x 180 mL and 7,188 x g RCF, the BIOShield 720 delivers the highest RCF in its segment. Equipped with TÜV NORD CERT-certified biocontainment and SlideCoat surface treatment. Ideal for microbiology, virus research and pelleting applications.
The BIOShield 720 is compatible with Thermo Scientific Multifuge X1 Pro, Multifuge X1R Pro, Megafuge ST1 Plus and Megafuge ST1R Plus centrifuges. For the Multifuge X1 Pro, this rotor reaches a maximum speed of 6,300 rpm and 7,188 x g. In addition, the Megafuge ST1 Plus reaches a maximum of 5,300 rpm and 5,088 x g. As a result, the BIOShield 720 is not compatible with X4 or S4 Series centrifuges.
The BIOShield 720 is a windshielded rotor with integrated biocontainment, whereas the TX-200 and TX-400 are open swinging bucket rotors with optional ClickSeal lids. Moreover, the BIOShield 720 reaches 7,188 x g, considerably higher than the 5,580 x g of the TX-200 and 4,696 x g of the TX-400. Therefore, choose the BIOShield 720 when you combine high RCF with biocontainment.
The BIOShield 720 features a windshielded design in which the buckets rotate inside a sealed housing. Therefore, aerosols remain contained within the rotor during centrifugation. Moreover, this biocontainment certification is issued by TÜV NORD CERT in Germany. As a result, you process biohazardous samples safely without separate biocontainment lids per bucket.
For the BIOShield 720, twelve adapter configurations are available. As a result, you can process 180 mL bio-bottles, 100 mL open-top tubes, 50 mL conical or round-bottom tubes, 15 mL conical tubes, blood tubes and 1.5/2 mL microtubes. In addition, this rotor offers dedicated adapters for Sterilin universal tubes and Sarstedt tubes. Furthermore, all adapters are sold in sets of four.
No, the BIOShield 720 is delivered as a complete windshielded rotor (SKU 75003183) without adapters. Therefore, you order the required adapters separately based on your application. Subsequently, you choose from twelve different adapter sets for various tube and bottle formats.
A windshielded rotor such as the BIOShield 720 has a sealed aerodynamic housing. Therefore, this rotor experiences less air resistance during rotation. Moreover, the energy input remains lower at high speeds compared to open swinging bucket rotors. As a result, you save energy per run while achieving higher RCF values.
