The Thermo Scientific Fiberlite F15-6x100y fixed-angle rotor is a carbon fiber rotor for 100 mL tubes on the Sorvall Legend and Multifuge benchtop centrifuges. Moreover, this rotor offers the highest RCF in its capacity class. In addition, the F15-6x100y reaches a maximum speed of 15,000 rpm and an RCF of 24,652 x g. As a result, you process large volumes at superspeed level in a benchtop configuration.
Furthermore, the F15-6x100y stands out with its carbon fiber construction and liquid containment annulus. Therefore, this rotor is considerably lighter than comparable aluminium rotors. Moreover, the annulus design offers integrated leak protection in case of tube failure. Additionally, the lightweight properties enable faster acceleration and deceleration per run.
In addition, the F15-6x100y accommodates nine different adapter configurations for diverse tube formats. Subsequently, you process 100 mL Oak Ridge tubes, 50 mL conical tubes, 30 mL Oak Ridge tubes and even microtubes. Moreover, this rotor offers adapters for 1.5/2 mL microtubes, 3 mL and 10 mL BD Vacutainer tubes and 1 mL BD Microtainer tubes. As a result, you combine high RCF with maximum tube flexibility.
Finally, the F15-6x100y is ideal for PCR post-reaction cleanup, cell culture, DNA sample preparation and subcellular fractionation. Therefore, this rotor is the standard choice for laboratories that combine high RCF with flexible tube protocols. As a result, you switch quickly between 100 mL bottle applications and smaller tube volumes via the appropriate adapter.

Carbon fiber fixed-angle rotor for 6 x 100 mL tubes on Thermo Scientific Sorvall Legend and Multifuge benchtop centrifuges. With a maximum RCF of 24,652 x g, the F15-6x100y offers the highest RCF in its capacity class. Equipped with nine adapter configurations for tubes from 1 mL to 100 mL and a liquid containment annulus. Ideal for PCR cleanup, DNA sample prep and subcellular fractionation.








The F15-6x100y is compatible with multiple Thermo Scientific benchtop centrifuges. Moreover, this rotor works on the Sorvall Legend X1, X1R, XT and XTR series at 15,000 rpm. In addition, the F15-6x100y 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 at 13,000 rpm.
The y-suffix in F15-6x100y stands for liquid containment annulus, an integrated leak protection in case of tube failure. Moreover, this annulus protects the centrifuge chamber against sample spillage during centrifugation. In addition, the design prevents spilled liquids from contacting other parts of the rotor. As a result, you increase both sample safety and operational reliability.
The F15-6x100y accommodates standard 100 mL tubes and nine different adapter configurations. Moreover, you process 50 mL Oak Ridge and conical tubes, 30 mL and 16 mL Oak Ridge tubes and 15 mL conical tubes. In addition, this rotor offers adapters for 10 mL BD Vacutainer, 6.5 mL round-bottom tubes, 3 mL BD Vacutainer, 1.5/2 mL microtubes and 1 mL BD Microtainer tubes. As a result, you process tubes from 1 mL to 100 mL in the same rotor.
Carbon fiber rotors such as the F15-6x100y offer multiple benefits over aluminium rotors. Moreover, these rotors weigh up to 60 percent less, making handling and installation easier. In addition, carbon fiber rotors accelerate and decelerate faster thanks to the lower mass. Furthermore, this rotor consumes less energy per run. As a result, you save time and energy per centrifugation cycle.
The F15-6x100y is highly suitable for applications that combine high RCF with flexible tube protocols. Moreover, this rotor is the standard choice for PCR post-reaction cleanup and DNA sample preparation. In addition, this rotor accommodates cell culture applications, protein identification and subcellular fractionation. Furthermore, this rotor is suitable for pelleting of cell components and debris.
The F15-6x100y offers a capacity of 6 x 100 mL and reaches 24,652 x g, whereas the F15-8x50cy offers a capacity of 8 x 50 mL and reaches 24,446 x g. Moreover, the F15-6x100y focuses on large volumes and bottle applications via adapters. Conversely, the F15-8x50cy specialises in disposable conical tube workflows. Therefore, choose the F15-6x100y for maximum volume flexibility and the F15-8x50cy for conical tube efficiency.
