User-Friendly Controls
The interactive color LCD touch panel makes
set-up and operation straightforward, even
for novice users. Set and run conditions can
be monitored easily, even from across the
room.
Compact, Ergonomic Design
The small footprint of the Sorvall WX Ultra
Series (100H x 79W x 69D, cm) makes it ideal
for labs where space is limited. A low deck
height (85 cm) makes rotor loading and
unloading easy, while the chamber door
glides open smoothly with just a push.
Whisper-Quiet Operation
A noise level of just 53 dBA means that
users can work right next to the unit
without distraction.
Energy-Efficient Performance
The energy-saving design reduces power
consumption by up to 15% compared to
other ultracentrifuges, with a significant
reduction in heat output for a more
comfortable working environment.
