The Thermo Scientific HIGHConic II 6×100 mL sealed fixed-angle rotor is an aluminium rotor with biocontainment for the X4 and S4 Series centrifuges. Moreover, this rotor offers a 45 degree angle for optimally consolidated pellet formation. In addition, the HIGHConic II reaches a maximum speed of 10,350 rpm and an RCF of 15,090 x g. As a result, you process up to 6 x 100 mL samples safely in a sealed configuration.
Furthermore, the HIGHConic II stands out with its integrated biocontainment certification. Therefore, aerosols remain contained within the rotor during centrifugation. Moreover, this rotor is certified by Public Health England in Porton Down or TÜV NORD CERT in Germany. Additionally, this configuration provides aluminium construction for solid and reliable performance.
In addition, the HIGHConic II supports eight different adapter configurations for diverse tube formats. Subsequently, you process 50 mL conical tubes, 50 mL Oak Ridge tubes, 30 mL and 16 mL Nalgene Oak Ridge tubes. Moreover, this rotor offers adapters for 15 mL conical tubes, 10 mL Oak Ridge tubes, 6.5 mL round-bottom tubes and 1.5/2 mL microtubes. As a result, you combine biocontainment with flexible tube protocols.
Finally, the HIGHConic II is ideal for pelleting of bacteria and yeast in a sealed environment. Therefore, this rotor is the standard choice for microbiology applications where biocontainment is essential. As a result, you process biohazardous samples, vaccine cultures and infectious material safely on the X4 and S4 platform.

Aluminium fixed-angle rotor with integrated biocontainment for Thermo Scientific X4 and S4 Series centrifuges. With a maximum capacity of 6 x 100 mL and 15,090 x g RCF, the HIGHConic II offers a 45 degree angle for consolidated pellet formation. Equipped with TÜV NORD CERT-certified biocontainment and eight adapter configurations. Ideal for pelleting of bacteria, yeast and infectious material.








The HIGHConic II 6×100 mL sealed rotor is compatible with the Sorvall X4T, X4TR, X4FR, S4T, S4TR and S4FR centrifuges. Moreover, this rotor reaches a maximum speed of 10,350 rpm on all compatible models. In addition, all models share the same RCF of 15,090 x g. As a result, the HIGHConic II delivers consistent performance across the entire X4 and S4 platform.
Sealed refers to the integrated biocontainment function of the HIGHConic II rotor. Moreover, aerosols remain contained within the rotor during centrifugation. In addition, this biocontainment certification is issued by Public Health England in Porton Down or TÜV NORD CERT in Germany. As a result, you process biohazardous samples safely without separate biocontainment lids per tube.
The HIGHConic II has a 45 degree angle for optimal consolidated pellet formation. Moreover, pellets form better 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 pelleting of bacteria, yeast and cell components.
The HIGHConic II accommodates standard 100 mL or 85 mL Nalgene Oak Ridge tubes directly in the cavity. Moreover, this rotor offers maximum tube dimensions of 38 x 123 mm. In addition, 85 mL Nalgene Oak Ridge tubes are available in cases of 100 units (SKU 3118-0085). As a result, you process 100 mL or 85 mL volumes directly without extra adapters.
For the HIGHConic II, eight adapter configurations are available. Moreover, you process 50 mL conical tubes, 50 mL and 30 mL Nalgene Oak Ridge tubes and 16 mL Oak Ridge tubes. In addition, this rotor offers adapters for 15 mL conical tubes, 10 mL Oak Ridge tubes, 6.5 mL round-bottom tubes and 1.5/2 mL microtubes. As a result, you process tubes from 1.5 mL to 50 mL in the same rotor.
The HIGHConic II is an aluminium rotor with biocontainment, whereas the Fiberlite F15-6x100y and F10-6×100 LEX are carbon fiber rotors. Moreover, the HIGHConic II offers 15,090 x g, comparable to the F10-6×100 LEX (15,038 x g) but lower than the F15-6x100y (24,652 x g). Therefore, choose the HIGHConic II when you combine biocontainment with aluminium reliability. In addition, the Fiberlite rotors offer carbon fiber for lighter handling.
