The Thermo Scientific Fiberlite F12-6×500 LEX is a fixed-angle rotor made of carbon fiber composite for 6 x 500 mL. This rotor reaches 12,000 rpm and 24,471 x g. The F12-6×500 LEX works with the LYNX 4000 and LYNX 6000 Superspeed centrifuges.
The Thermo Scientific Fiberlite F12-6×500 LEX fixed-angle rotor processes 6 x 500 mL per run. Moreover, this rotor is made of carbon fiber composite. In addition, the F12-6×500 LEX reaches a maximum speed of 12,000 rpm. As a result, you achieve an RCF of up to 24,471 x g with a capacity of 3 liters.
Furthermore, the F12-6×500 LEX stands out with its lightweight construction. The name LEX stands for lightest and refers to the low rotor weight. Therefore, you lift and place the rotor easily with the speed handles. Moreover, this reduces fatigue and the risk of injury.
In addition, carbon fiber composite is chemically resistant and corrosion resistant. As a result, the F12-6×500 LEX withstands aggressive samples and solvents. Furthermore, the carbon fiber construction resists material fatigue. This keeps the rotor structurally stable during intensive use.
Finally, the F12-6×500 LEX is compatible with the Thermo Scientific LYNX 4000 and LYNX 6000 Superspeed centrifuges. On both models the rotor reaches the same 12,000 rpm and 24,471 x g. This lets you process medium volumes with high force.

The F12-6×500 LEX works with the Thermo Scientific LYNX 4000 and LYNX 6000 Superspeed centrifuges. On both models the rotor delivers the same performance. This keeps flexibility in your lab.
The F12-6×500 LEX reaches a maximum speed of 12,000 rpm. In addition, the rotor achieves a maximum RCF of 24,471 x g. These values apply on both the LYNX 4000 and the LYNX 6000.
The rotor processes 6 x 500 mL per run, or 3 liters. As a result, you combine a generous capacity with high speed. This saves time with larger batches.
The F12-6×500 LEX is made of carbon fiber composite (Fiberlite). Moreover, this material is lightweight, chemically resistant and corrosion resistant. In addition, the carbon fiber construction resists material fatigue.
The rotor is ideal for cell biology and proteomics. Furthermore, you use it for general sample processing. Genomics and molecular biology also benefit from the high RCF.
LEX stands for lightest. This refers to the lightest rotor weight in its class. Therefore, you lift and place the rotor easily. Moreover, this reduces the risk of injury.
