The Thermo Scientific Fiberlite F20-12×50 LEX is a carbon fiber fixed-angle rotor for 12 x 50 mL tubes. In addition, this rotor belongs to the high-speed class of the LYNX portfolio. Moreover, the F20-12×50 LEX spins up to 20,000 rpm on the LYNX 6000. As a result, you perform fast subcellular separations.
Furthermore, the performance differs per centrifuge model. On the LYNX 6000 the rotor reaches 20,000 rpm and 51,428 x g. On the LYNX 4000 the rotor spins up to 18,000 rpm and 41,657 x g. As a result, you choose the centrifuge that matches your performance requirement.
In addition, the F20-12×50 LEX is made of lightweight carbon fiber composite. The LEX designation stands for the lightest version in the series. Moreover, the material is corrosion resistant and fatigue resistant. As a result, the rotor stays reliable in use for years.
Finally, the F20-12×50 LEX is compatible with the Thermo Scientific LYNX 4000 and LYNX 6000 Superspeed centrifuges. The Auto-Lock rotor exchange locks the rotor in place in less than three seconds. Furthermore, the carbon fiber construction is chemically resistant and corrosion resistant. As a result, the rotor stays reliable across a wide range of protocols.

The Thermo Scientific Fiberlite F20-12×50 LEX is a carbon fiber fixed-angle rotor for 12 x 50 mL. This high-speed rotor spins up to 20,000 rpm on the LYNX 6000. In addition, the rotor delivers up to 51,428 x g. As a result, you perform fast subcellular separations.








The F20-12×50 LEX fits only the Thermo Scientific LYNX 4000 and LYNX 6000 Superspeed centrifuges. In addition, the Auto-ID function identifies the rotor instantly. As a result, the centrifuge loads the correct parameters automatically.
On the LYNX 6000 the rotor reaches 20,000 rpm and 51,428 x g. On the LYNX 4000 the rotor spins up to 18,000 rpm and 41,657 x g. As a result, the performance differs per centrifuge model.
The rotor holds 12 x 50 mL tubes. As a result, you process several samples at once. Moreover, the rotor belongs to the high-speed class of the LYNX portfolio.
The F20-12×50 LEX is made of carbon fiber composite (Fiberlite). In addition, LEX stands for the lightest version. As a result, the rotor is lightweight, corrosion resistant and fatigue resistant.
The rotor suits fast subcellular separations. Furthermore, you work with standard 50 mL tubes at high speed. As a result, the rotor supports demanding separation tasks.
The Rmax of the F20-12×50 LEX is 115 mm. This compact radius supports the high speed of up to 20,000 rpm. As a result, the rotor reaches an RCF of up to 51,428 x g on the LYNX 6000.
