The Sorvall WX+ ultracentrifuge from Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, Mass, is designed to maximize performance and versatility for processing applications in a compact design. The ultracentrifuge features a color LCD touch screen to simplify programming, while monitors run data with optional Log Manager software that recalls past operating parameters with up to 5,120 cases of recorded histories to assist with GMP/GLP compliance. Designed to accommodate a multiple-user environment, the Sorvall WX+ offers up to 100,000 rpm performance, lightweight carbon fiber rotors, and automatic tube balancing compensation that accelerates sample preparation by allowing visual sample balancing up to 5 millimeters. Additional features include a self-locking rotor system; a status light bar that allows users to monitor instrument status from across the lab; and a reduction in power usage of up to 50% when in idle mode, compared to the previous model.
