Thermo Legend XT Centrifuge TX-1000 Rotor, 4x Buckets, 4x lids

Thermo Scientific Sorvall Legend XT TX-1000 Rotor with 4 Buckets & 4 Lids – Product Description

The Thermo Scientific TX-1000 swinging bucket rotor system, designed for use with the Sorvall Legend XT series centrifuges, is a high-capacity, versatile rotor solution engineered for demanding laboratory workflows. It includes a rotor body, four swinging buckets, and four ClickSeal biocontainment lids, providing a complete setup for safe, efficient, and high-throughput sample processing.

This rotor system is specifically developed to maximize sample throughput while maintaining excellent balance, safety, and reproducibility. With a maximum capacity of 4 × 1000 mL, the TX-1000 enables laboratories to process large volumes of biological fluids, cell cultures, and clinical samples in fewer runs, significantly improving workflow efficiency and reducing operational time.

The swinging bucket design ensures that samples are positioned horizontally during centrifugation, resulting in optimal phase separation and improved pellet formation. This makes the system highly suitable for applications such as cell culture harvesting, blood component separation, microbiology workflows, protein purification, and molecular biology sample preparation.

Each of the four included buckets is engineered for durability and chemical resistance, featuring Thermo Scientific’s advanced SlideCoat surface treatment, which reduces friction, enhances corrosion resistance, and simplifies cleaning procedures. The included ClickSeal biocontainment lids provide an additional layer of safety by preventing aerosol leakage, making the system suitable for biohazardous or sensitive sample handling environments. These lids are designed for secure sealing and easy operation, supporting compliance with modern laboratory biosafety standards.

The TX-1000 rotor is compatible with a wide range of Thermo Scientific Sorvall and Heraeus centrifuge models, including the Legend XT/XF and Multifuge series. Its tool-free installation system allows quick rotor exchange, reducing downtime and increasing laboratory productivity.

With a maximum rotational speed of up to 4,200 rpm and a maximum relative centrifugal force of over 4,100 × g, the TX-1000 provides powerful performance for large-volume separations while maintaining stable and safe operation. The rotor’s engineering ensures balanced load distribution across all four buckets, reducing mechanical stress and extending equipment lifespan.

Designed for modern laboratories that require flexibility and scalability, the TX-1000 system supports a variety of adapters, enabling compatibility with conical tubes, blood collection tubes, culture flasks, and microplates. This modular design significantly expands its application range, making it a preferred choice for research institutions, clinical laboratories, and biotech production facilities.
