The Thermo Scientific TX-100S clinical swing-out rotor is a dedicated swinging bucket rotor with sealed carriers for the C Series compact centrifuges. Moreover, this rotor offers integrated biocontainment for safe processing of biohazardous samples. In addition, the TX-100S reaches a maximum speed of 4,500 rpm and an RCF of 3,260 x g. As a result, you process blood samples and infectious material safely on a compact 4L benchtop platform.
Furthermore, the TX-100S stands out with its sealed carriers featuring lockable metal tubes. Therefore, aerosols remain contained within the carrier during centrifugation. Moreover, the biocontainment certification meets the standards of TÜV NORD CERT. Additionally, this rotor accommodates 8 blood tubes of 15 mL per run in a safely sealed configuration.
In addition, the TX-100S supports four different adapter configurations for specific clinical applications. Subsequently, you can process 10 mL 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 biocontainment with flexible sample processing.
Finally, the TX-100S is ideal for clinical laboratories and diagnostic centres that work with potentially infectious samples. Therefore, this rotor is the standard choice for routine blood analysis where biocontainment is essential. As a result, you process blood samples for virus research, microbiology and routine diagnostics safely on a single compact platform.

Dedicated clinical swing-out rotor with sealed carriers for Thermo Scientific C Series compact centrifuges. With a capacity of 8 x 15 mL and 3,260 x g RCF, the TX-100S offers integrated biocontainment for safe processing of biohazardous samples. TÜV NORD CERT-certified. Compatible with BD Hemogard, BD Vacutainer and microtubes via dedicated adapters.








The TX-100S 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-100S delivers consistent performance across the entire compact 4L benchtop platform.
The TX-100S features sealed carriers with a capacity of 8 x 15 mL and offers biocontainment for biohazardous samples. Conversely, the TX-100 features open carriers with a capacity of 16 x 15 mL and is ideal for routine clinical samples without biocontainment. Moreover, both rotors run on the same C Series centrifuges. Therefore, choose the TX-100S for safe processing of infectious samples and the TX-100 for maximum throughput.
The sealed carriers of the TX-100S consist of metal tubes with lockable caps and O-rings. Therefore, aerosols remain contained within the carrier during centrifugation. Moreover, you place the blood tubes inside the metal tubes and close them with the cap fitted with an O-ring. Subsequently, you centrifuge the samples safely without risk of cross-contamination or aerosol release.
For the TX-100S, four adapter configurations are available. Moreover, 10 mL blood tubes fit directly into the sealed tubes without an adapter. In addition, this rotor offers dedicated adapters for BD Hemogard tubes, BD Vacutainer tubes and 1.5/2 mL microtubes. Additionally, this rotor accommodates 5 mL BD Hemogard tubes via a separate adapter (SKU 11172595).
For the TX-100S, three essential replacement parts are available. Moreover, the metal tube (SKU 50110911) is available as a replacement for damaged or lost tubes. In addition, Thermo Scientific offers replacement caps (SKU 50110924) and O-rings (SKU 20059364) for maintenance of the sealed configuration. As a result, the biocontainment function remains fully preserved throughout the lifespan of the rotor.
Yes, the TX-100S is approved for clinical applications on IVD-MD certified centrifuges such as the C1T and C1TR. Moreover, this rotor is specifically designed for clinical diagnostics with biocontainment. In addition, the C Series offers IVD-MD certification under the European IVDR directive. As a result, the TX-100S is ideal for clinical laboratories that work with potentially infectious samples.
