The Thermo Scientific HIGHplate 6000 microplate swing-out rotor is a windshielded swinging bucket rotor for microplates on the X4 Series centrifuges. Moreover, this rotor offers the highest RCF in its class for microplate applications. In addition, the HIGHplate 6000 reaches a maximum speed of 6,300 rpm and an RCF of 6,168 x g. As a result, you process up to 10 microplates per run on an aerodynamic design.
Furthermore, the HIGHplate 6000 stands out with its windshielded construction and high RCF. Therefore, this rotor performs superior to standard microplate rotors. Moreover, the swing-out design offers 90 degree position during rotation for uniform sedimentation. Additionally, this configuration promotes efficient well-volume separation in high-throughput screening.
In addition, the HIGHplate 6000 accommodates various plate configurations via the bucket options. Subsequently, you process 2 x 5 standard microplates or 2 x 1 filter plates per run. Moreover, this rotor is suitable for plate heights up to 80 mm. As a result, you combine ELISA protocols, qPCR preparation and filter plate applications.
Finally, the HIGHplate 6000 is ideal for high-throughput plate screening and filter plate workflows. Therefore, this rotor is the standard choice for laboratories that combine high RCF with microplate formats. As a result, you switch seamlessly between ELISA, qPCR, drug discovery and proteomics protocols.

Windshielded microplate swing-out rotor for the Thermo Scientific X4 Series centrifuges. With a capacity of 2 x 5 standard microplates or 2 x 1 filter plates and 6,168 x g RCF, the HIGHplate 6000 offers the highest RCF in its class. Ideal for ELISA, qPCR, filter plate applications and high-throughput screening. Suitable for plate heights up to 80 mm.








The HIGHplate 6000 is compatible with the Sorvall X4T, X4TR and X4FR centrifuges. Moreover, this rotor reaches a maximum speed of 6,300 rpm on all compatible models. In addition, all models share the same RCF of 6,168 x g. Furthermore, this rotor is not compatible with the S4 Series centrifuges, so check your platform before purchase.
The HIGHplate 6000 accommodates various microplate formats. Moreover, you process 2 x 5 standard microplates per run (10 plates total). In addition, this rotor supports 2 x 1 filter plates for filtration applications. Furthermore, this rotor is suitable for 96-well, 384-well and 1536-well formats with a maximum height of 80 mm.
Windshielded refers to the aerodynamic design of the HIGHplate 6000 with sealed housing. Moreover, the rotor experiences less air resistance during rotation. In addition, this leads to lower energy consumption, less heat buildup and quieter operation. As a result, you combine high RCF performance with efficient energy use in a microplate rotor.
The HIGHplate 6000 has a capacity of 2 x 5 microplates and reaches 6,168 x g, whereas the Fiberlite H3-LV has a capacity of 4 x 7 microplates and reaches 2,593 x g. Moreover, the HIGHplate 6000 offers higher RCF for compact well-volume separation. Conversely, the Fiberlite H3-LV offers higher capacity per run with carbon fiber construction. Therefore, choose the HIGHplate 6000 for maximum RCF and the Fiberlite H3-LV for maximum throughput.
The HIGHplate 6000 is highly suitable for high-throughput plate screening with high RCF. Moreover, this rotor is the standard choice for ELISA protocols and qPCR preparation. In addition, this rotor accommodates filter plate applications for sample clean-up. Furthermore, this rotor is suitable for drug discovery, proteomics and cellular assays.
The swing-out design of the HIGHplate 6000 ensures a 90 degree bucket position during rotation. Moreover, pellets and sediments form uniformly at the bottom of the wells. In addition, this configuration prevents pellet formation along the side wall of the wells. As a result, the design improves both sample recovery and uniformity between wells.
