Short Description: Sorvall LYNX 6000 is a powerful laboratory centrifuge that spins samples at high speed to separate their components. It is suitable for separating cells, proteins, and other biomolecules.
Produser: Thermofisher
Equipment Information:
Functions:
- High-speed centrifugation of biological and chemical samples
- Temperature-controlled operation for sensitive materials
- Automatic rotor recognition and safety monitoring
- Programmable runs with touch-screen control
Capabilities:
- Speeds up to ~29,000 rpm and over 100,000 × g
- Large capacity (up to 6 liters, depending on rotor)
- Supports a wide range of fixed-angle and swing-bucket rotors
Usage / Purpose:
- Sorvall LYNX 6000 is designed for efficient separation and concentration of components from liquid samples. It is commonly used to:
- Harvest cells from culture
- Separate proteins, viruses, organelles, and other biomolecules
- Perform clarification and fractionation steps in research or production labs
Applications:
- Cell and molecular biology
- Bioprocessing and biotechnology
- Pharmaceutical and vaccine production
- Academic and industrial research laboratories
Operating Principle:
- Samples are placed in tubes or bottles within a rotor.
- The centrifuge spins at high speed, generating strong centrifugal force.
- Heavier components move outward and sediment, while lighter components remain closer to the center.
- After the run, the separated fractions can be collected for further analysis or processing.
