WALTHAM, Mass.
Key Facts
- Thermo Scientific™ X2 and S2 Series General Purpose Centrifuges enable labs to improve sustainability without compromising performance.
- X2 and S2 Centrifuges deliver high performance in a smaller, more versatile format for medical research, biopharma and clinical labs.
Additional benefits:
- Improved sustainability through a low-GWP natural refrigerant system and more energy efficiency
- Powerful rotors deliver exceptional performance and rapid acceleration and deceleration
- Ergonomic design and biocontainment features support user safety during operation
| Overview: | Thermo Fisher Scientific introduces the Thermo Scientific™ X2 and S2 Series Centrifuges, general purpose centrifuges that deliver precise performance and improved sustainability to medical research, biopharma and clinical labs. Offering up to 1.6-liter maximum capacity per run, these general purpose centrifuges provide the same advanced safety features and ergonomic design as the 4-liter X4 and S4 Series models, with the smaller footprint offering more versatility to support various lab set ups and workflows.
With the launch of the X2 and S2 Series Centrifuges, Thermo Fisher Scientific is the first to offer a complete refrigerated centrifuge portfolio featuring natural refrigerants. Featuring Thermo Scientific™ GreenCool™ Technology, the refrigerant used has a low Global Warming Potential (GWP) of 3 and is compliant with European Union and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency F-gas regulations. In addition, the centrifuges are more energy efficient than previous models and are manufactured at a certified zero-waste facility powered by 100% renewable electricity.
“At Thermo Fisher, sustainability and performance aren’t separate goals,” said Noreen Hong, vice president and general manager of growth, protection and separation at Thermo Fisher Scientific. “The X2 and S2 Series centrifuges reflect that approach by combining natural refrigerant cooling systems with the performance, rotor flexibility and ease of use customers need for demanding work in medical research, biopharma and clinical diagnostics. With enhanced temperature control, an expanded refrigerated temperature range down to -20°C, broad rotor options including carbon fiber choices and advanced safety features, the X2 and S2 Series help labs improve productivity while advancing more sustainable workflows. As a longstanding leader in centrifugation, we’re proud to mark an industry-first milestone with a complete refrigerated centrifuge portfolio featuring natural refrigerant cooling systems.”
