The Thermo Scientific Fiberlite F10-6×100 LEX fixed-angle rotor is a carbon fiber rotor with a 45 degree angle for 6 x 100 mL tubes and bottles. Moreover, this rotor offers the most consolidated pellet in its class thanks to the steep angle. In addition, the F10-6×100 LEX reaches a maximum speed of 10,500 rpm and an RCF of 15,038 x g. As a result, you process up to 6 x 100 mL samples efficiently with optimal pellet formation.
Furthermore, the F10-6×100 LEX stands out with its 45 degree angle versus the standard 25 degrees of comparable rotors. Therefore, pellets form better consolidated at the bottom of the tube. Moreover, this is advantageous for pelleting of bacteria, yeast and nucleic acid purification. Additionally, this configuration enables more efficient supernatant removal after centrifugation.
In addition, the F10-6×100 LEX is the lightest LEX rotor in its capacity class. Subsequently, lighter rotors accelerate and decelerate faster thanks to lower kinetic energy. Moreover, this rotor offers chemical resistance and corrosion protection for aggressive samples. As a result, you combine ergonomics, safety and superior performance in a single rotor.
Finally, the F10-6×100 LEX is compatible with multiple Thermo Scientific benchtop platforms. Therefore, this rotor works on Sorvall Legend X1, XT, XF as well as the ST 16/40 series. As a result, you switch seamlessly between centrifuges within the same laboratory for pelleting of bacteria, yeast and nucleic acid purification.

Carbon fiber fixed-angle rotor with 45 degree angle for 6 x 100 mL tubes on Thermo Scientific Sorvall Legend and Multifuge benchtop centrifuges. With a maximum RCF of 15,038 x g, the F10-6×100 LEX offers the most consolidated pellet in its class. Lightest LEX rotor with chemical resistance and corrosion protection. Ideal for pelleting of bacteria, yeast and nucleic acid purification.
The F10-6×100 LEX is compatible with multiple Thermo Scientific benchtop centrifuges. Moreover, this rotor works on the Sorvall Legend X1, X1R, XT, XTR and XF series. In addition, the F10-6×100 LEX supports the Multifuge X1, X1R, X3 and X3R series. Furthermore, this rotor is compatible with the Sorvall ST 16/40, Megafuge 16/40 and SL 16/40 series.
The F10-6×100 LEX has a 45 degree angle whereas comparable rotors have a 25 degree angle. Moreover, pellets form better consolidated at the bottom of the tube at a steeper angle. In addition, this angle improves the separation between pellet and supernatant. As a result, you remove the supernatant more easily without pellet loss, which is ideal for bacteria, yeast and nucleic acid purification.
The LEX-suffix in F10-6×100 LEX stands for “Lightest” Fiberlite option. Moreover, this rotor combines lower mass with lower kinetic energy. In addition, LEX offers superior ergonomics during handling and installation. As a result, LEX rotors accelerate and decelerate faster than comparable carbon fiber rotors.
The F10-6×100 LEX has a 45 degree angle and reaches 15,038 x g, whereas the F15-6x100y has a 25 degree angle and reaches 24,652 x g. Moreover, the 45 degree angle of the F10-6×100 LEX provides a more consolidated pellet. Conversely, the F15-6x100y offers higher RCF for pelleting heavier components. Therefore, choose the F10-6×100 LEX for optimal pellet quality and the F15-6x100y for maximum RCF.
The F10-6×100 LEX is highly suitable for pelleting applications where pellet quality is crucial. Moreover, this rotor is the standard choice for pelleting of bacteria and yeast cells. In addition, this rotor accommodates nucleic acid purification and cellular fractionation. Furthermore, this rotor is suitable for harvesting microbial cultures and protein pelleting.
For the F10-6×100 LEX, an O-ring refresher kit is available (SKU 021-069-031). Moreover, this kit extends the lifespan of the rotor by compensating for seal wear. In addition, regular maintenance is recommended for optimal performance. As a result, you maintain chemical resistance and leak protection throughout the entire lifespan.
