Furthermore, the F9-6×1000 LEX stands out with its LEX design and considerable weight reduction. Therefore, this rotor is more ergonomic than comparable aluminium rotors. Moreover, the carbon fiber material offers chemical resistance against aggressive buffers. Additionally, the lightweight properties enable faster acceleration and deceleration per run.
In addition, the F9-6×1000 LEX accommodates 6 x 1,000 mL bottles plus various adapter options for smaller tube formats. Subsequently, you process samples from 1.5 mL microtubes to 500 mL bottles via the appropriate adapter. Moreover, this rotor offers adapters for 250 mL, 100 mL, 50 mL conical and 30 mL Oak Ridge tubes. As a result, you combine high-capacity bioprocessing with flexible tube protocols.
Finally, the F9-6×1000 LEX is highly suitable for pharmaceutical, vaccine production and biotech bioprocessing applications. Therefore, this rotor is the standard choice for large-scale cell harvest, virus pelleting and protein precipitation. As a result, you switch quickly between bioreactor harvest runs and routine sample preparation.

Carbon fiber high-capacity fixed-angle rotor for the Thermo Scientific Sorvall BIOS bioprocessing centrifuge. With a capacity of 6 x 1,000 mL and 17,568 x g RCF, the F9-6×1000 LEX offers large-volume bioprocessing on a single platform. Equipped with sixteen adapter configurations for tubes from 1.5 mL to 500 mL. Ideal for cell harvest, virus pelleting and vaccine production.








The F9-6×1000 LEX in this BIOS variant is specifically compatible with the Sorvall BIOS bioprocessing centrifuge. Moreover, this rotor reaches a maximum speed of 9,000 rpm and an RCF of 17,568 x g. In addition, this rotor offers 6 x 1,000 mL capacity for large-volume bioprocessing applications. As a result, you process up to 6 litres of sample per run on a single platform.
The LEX-suffix in F9-6×1000 LEX stands for the Lightest Enhanced rotor series. 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 F9-6×1000 LEX accommodates standard 1,000 mL bottles and sixteen different adapter configurations. Moreover, you process 500 mL and 250 mL Oak Ridge tubes, 100 mL Oak Ridge tubes and 50 mL conical tubes. In addition, this rotor offers adapters for 15 mL conical tubes, BD Vacutainer tubes from 1.8 to 10 mL and even 1.5 mL microtubes. As a result, you process tubes from 1.5 mL to 500 mL in the same rotor.
For the F9-6×1000 LEX, Fiberlite Superspeed Bottle Assemblies are available in polypropylene (PPCO) and polycarbonate (PC). Moreover, these bottles are designed for leakproof assembly at maximum rotor speed. In addition, this rotor accommodates SteriBIOS bottle systems for validated bioprocessing applications.
