Superior Versatility with Thermo
Scientific Fiberlite Rotors
Our carbon fiber rotors deliver ground-breaking
capabilities, including
• Lightweight designs – up to 43% lighter than
aluminum rotors – for easier and safer handling
• Corrosion and fatigue resistance for long service life,
backed by a comprehensive 15-year warranty
• Improved thermal insulation of your sample protects
it from unwanted temperature changes
• Full integration into our centrifuge software for
simplicity of use and maximum performance
Trusted and Proven
Thermo Scientific Nalgene and
Nunc Bottles and Tubes
Our Fiberlite rotors work seamlessly with the new
1-liter Nalgene wide-mouth centrifuge bottles,
processing a full 1000 ml at maximum speeds with
leak-proof assembly up to 15,810 xg and backed by the
trusted and proven Nalgene name.
Best in Productivity
Performing your best work centers on productivity and maximum
sample processing quality and speed. Our superspeed system
offers exceptional functionality to accelerate your work with more
throughput and superior speed.
Fiberlite rotors maximize centrifuge performance with versatility,
speed and robust, corrosion-free design.
Lightweight Designs
Easy to handle for exceptional ergonomics to ensure
a productive, safe work environment and to minimize
risk of equipment damage.
Corrosion-Resistant
Strong for daily work and corrosion-resistant to
eliminate daily hazards from moisture, chemicals and
alkaline solutions.
Easy Care and Maintenance
Extensive Line of Carbon
Fiber Rotors
Our Thermo Scientific Fiberlite
carbon fiber rotors are available
to support tube volumes from 1.5
ml to 1 liter, ideal for a range of
applications for pharmaceutical,
biotechnology and academic
research.
Efficient Separations
Our Fiberlite F13-14x50cy 50 ml
conical tube rotor allows
inexpensive, disposable tubes to run
at 29,000 xg – at their maximum
force with no tube damage. Using
these disposable tubes at high
g-forces results in time savings from
faster separations and fewer tube
changes, protecting the sample.
Adapter Versatility
>>
With their large cavity size, high
g-force and large number of
available tube adapters, our 4 and 6
liter rotors can be used for multiple
applications without the need to
change rotors.
Fast Accel/Decel
Faster accel/decel times equal
shorter run times and greater
throughput. Samples can be removed
from the centrifuge more quickly,
lessening sample degradation.
Aluminum Rotor
Fatigue-Resistant
Fatigue-resistant and will not stretch or elongate
during centrifugation preserving rotor life and allowing
inexpensive and disposable tubes to be used above
rated speeds which can save significant time and
money.
Reduced Bioprocessing Spin Times
For bioprocessing protocols, the Fiberlite F8-6x1000y
rotor can separate 6-liters of sample at up to 8,500 rpm
and 15,810 xg in as little as 9 minutes for outstanding
performance.

Best in Safety
When you choose our Thermo Scientific superspeed system, you
can trust in our total commitment to meeting and exceeding operator,
sample and system safety. Our system delivers multiple layers of
protection for you and your lab environment – from our equipment
and rotors to our consumables and accessories – giving you
complete peace of mind.
Superior Sample Containment
We use multiple layers of protection - the
tube, the rotor and the instrument - to
protect you at all times. In case of tube or
bottle failure, the rotor containment annulus
holds a volume of fluid equal to one bottle
in a special curve at the top of rotors with
Enhanced Liquid Containment (ELC).
Enhanced containment of biohazardous
samples is available with rotors featuring
Bioseal technology.*
No Bolt-Down Design
Innovation in energy management and
instrument stability result in no bolt design
to meet CE and CSA safety standards
without the need to damage the floor
with restraint bolts.
Imbalance-Tolerant Drives
Gyro-action drive protects samples, user
and centrifuge from damage due to rotors
operating with imbalanced loads.
User Lock-Out
Ensures access control for authorized users
for system safety.
Maximum Sample Safety
Your precious samples are always kept
at the desired temperature due to our
advanced microprocessor controlled
refrigeration systems.
Fiberlite Provides
Additional Safety
Fiberlite rotors offer the lowest kinetic
energy of all rotors because of their
lightweight properties.
Nalgene and Nunc
Performance Compliance
Our Nalgene and Nunc centrifuge bottles and
tubes are manufactured in accordance with
ISO 13485:2003, cGMP and USP Class VI.
