Overview
| The Thermo Scientific Sorvall WX90 Ultracentrifuge offers quiet, safe and powerful separation, with high speeds up to 90,000 rpm (692,000 x g). Actual centrifuge speed depends on the installed rotor (four rotors available). Touch screen and keypad control for programming of speed (RPM; requires RCF-g conversions), time (Hours:Minutes) and temperature (0-40oC), in addition to detailed program scheduling. |
