Thermo Legend XTR Centrifuge with TX-1000 Rotor and 4x buckets

Thermo Scientific Sorvall Legend XTR Centrifuge with TX-1000 Rotor and 4× Buckets – Product Description

The Thermo Scientific Sorvall Legend XTR Centrifuge equipped with the TX-1000 swinging bucket rotor and 4 buckets is a high-performance, large-capacity centrifugation system designed for advanced laboratory workflows requiring reliability, safety, and high throughput. It is widely used in clinical laboratories, biotechnology research, pharmaceutical development, and academic institutions for processing a wide range of biological and chemical samples.

Built with Thermo Scientific’s engineering expertise, the Legend XTR series delivers powerful separation performance while maintaining quiet operation, excellent temperature control (for refrigerated models), and enhanced user safety. When combined with the TX-1000 rotor system, the centrifuge becomes a versatile platform capable of handling high-volume sample processing with outstanding reproducibility.

The TX-1000 swinging bucket rotor is specifically designed for large-volume applications, offering a maximum capacity of up to 4 × 1000 mL. This makes it ideal for workflows involving blood processing, cell culture harvesting, microbial separation, and large-scale sample preparation. The swing-out bucket design ensures that samples are aligned horizontally during centrifugation, optimizing sedimentation efficiency and improving phase separation quality.

The system includes four high-strength buckets engineered for durability, chemical resistance, and long-term stability under repeated high-speed operation. Each bucket is designed to distribute load evenly, reducing mechanical stress and enhancing rotor longevity. In addition, the system is compatible with a wide range of adapters, allowing the use of conical tubes, blood collection tubes, bottles, and culture vessels, significantly increasing application flexibility.

Safety is a core feature of the Legend XTR system. The centrifuge incorporates multiple safety mechanisms including imbalance detection, lid interlock protection, and automatic rotor recognition. When used with compatible sealed bucket systems, aerosol containment is significantly improved, ensuring safe handling of biohazardous or sensitive samples.

Operational efficiency is enhanced through an intuitive digital control interface, allowing users to easily set speed, time, and temperature parameters (for refrigerated versions). The system supports programmable protocols, enabling repeatable workflows and reducing operator error. The robust drive system ensures smooth acceleration and deceleration, minimizing sample disturbance and improving separation consistency.

The TX-1000 rotor system is designed for tool-free installation, allowing quick rotor changes to reduce downtime in busy laboratory environments. Its robust construction and precision balancing ensure stable operation even under full load conditions at high speeds.

Overall, the Thermo Scientific Sorvall Legend XTR with TX-1000 rotor is a powerful, flexible, and safe solution for laboratories that require high-capacity centrifugation with consistent performance and operational reliability.
