The Thermo Scientific TX-100 clinical swing-out rotor is a dedicated swinging bucket rotor for routine clinical sample processing on the C Series compact centrifuges. Moreover, this rotor offers a fixed configuration with carriers for maximum efficiency. In addition, the TX-100 reaches a maximum speed of 4,500 rpm and an RCF of 3,260 x g. As a result, you process up to 16 blood tubes per run on a compact 4L benchtop platform.
Furthermore, the TX-100 stands out with its dedicated clinical design featuring integrated carriers. Therefore, this rotor is ready for immediate use without separate buckets or adapters for standard formats. Moreover, the TX-100 offers direct-fit support for 13 mL urine tubes and 10 mL blood collection tubes. Additionally, this rotor accommodates up to 16 blood tubes of 16 x 100 mm per run.
In addition, the TX-100 supports seven different adapter configurations for specific clinical applications. Subsequently, you can process Sterilin urine tubes, Sarstedt blood tubes, BD Hemogard and BD Vacutainer tubes. Moreover, this rotor offers adapters for 5/7 mL blood tubes, 5 mL BD Hemogard tubes and 1.5/2 mL microtubes. As a result, you combine clinical routine with flexible sample processing.
Finally, the TX-100 is ideal for laboratories with limited bench space that process high-volume clinical samples. Therefore, this rotor is the standard choice for routine blood analysis and urine testing. As a result, you switch quickly between applications such as serum separation, blood analysis and urine testing on a single compact platform.

Dedicated clinical swing-out rotor for Thermo Scientific C Series compact centrifuges. With a capacity of 16 x 15 mL tubes and 3,260 x g RCF, the TX-100 offers a fixed configuration with carriers for maximum efficiency. Suitable for routine blood analysis and urine testing. Compatible with BD Hemogard, BD Vacutainer, Sarstedt and Sterilin tubes via dedicated adapters.








The TX-100 is compatible with Thermo Scientific C1T, C1TR and C1FR C Series compact centrifuges. Moreover, this rotor reaches a maximum speed of 4,500 rpm on all compatible models. In addition, all models share the same RCF of 3,260 x g. As a result, the TX-100 delivers consistent performance across the entire compact 4L benchtop platform.
The TX-100 features open carriers with a capacity of 16 x 15 mL tubes and is ideal for routine clinical samples. Conversely, the TX-100S features sealed carriers with a capacity of 8 x 15 mL and offers biocontainment for biohazardous samples. Moreover, both rotors run on the same C Series centrifuges. Therefore, choose the TX-100 for maximum throughput and the TX-100S for safe processing of infectious samples.
The TX-100 is a dedicated clinical rotor with fixed carriers for 16 blood tubes per run. Conversely, the TX-150 is a versatile rotor with two bucket options and 24 adapter configurations. Moreover, the TX-150 offers a capacity of 4 x 145 mL or 8 x 50 mL. Therefore, choose the TX-100 for pure clinical routine and the TX-150 for diverse applications such as cell culture and molecular biology.
For the TX-100, seven adapter configurations are available. Moreover, 13 mL urine tubes and 10 mL blood collection tubes fit directly into the carriers without an adapter. In addition, this rotor offers dedicated adapters for Sterilin urine tubes, Sarstedt blood tubes, BD Hemogard tubes and BD Vacutainer tubes. Additionally, this rotor accommodates 1.5/2 mL microtubes and Microtainer tubes via a separate adapter.
No, the TX-100 features open carriers without biocontainment certification. Therefore, this rotor is not suitable for processing biohazardous samples. Moreover, Thermo Scientific offers the TX-100S with sealed carriers as an alternative for applications where biocontainment is essential. Subsequently, choose the TX-150 with optional ClickSeal biocontainment lids if you need a more versatile rotor.
Yes, the TX-100 is approved for clinical applications on IVD-MD certified centrifuges such as the C1T and C1TR. Moreover, this rotor is specifically designed for routine diagnostics. In addition, the C Series offers IVD-MD certification under the European IVDR directive. As a result, the TX-100 is ideal for clinical laboratories and diagnostic centres.
