Thermo Scientific TX-750 Centrifuge Swing Bucket

• General Overview

• High-capacity swinging-bucket rotor for compatible benchtop and medium-capacity centrifuges.

• Designed for robust performance in laboratories processing large-volume bottles or tubes (up to 750 mL per bucket).

• Used in cell culture, blood separation, microbiology, genomics, and general-purpose sample preparation.

• Mechanical Design

• Swinging-bucket (horizontal) rotor with a 90° swing angle for optimal pellet formation.

• Capacity: 4 × 750 mL buckets.

• Maximum radius: ~19.5 cm; minimum radius: ~8.3 cm depending on bucket/adaptor used.

• Compatible with a range of bucket types, lids, and adapters for flexible use.

• Biocontainment capable when used with appropriate lids and accessories.

• Technical Specifications

• Maximum speed: up to 4,700 rpm with proper bucket configuration.

• Maximum RCF: up to ~4,816 × g with 750 mL buckets.

• Tube/adaptor capacity: example 98 mm diameter × 133–139 mm length tubes.

• Swing angle: 90°.

• Net weight: ~7.4 kg for rotor body (without buckets/lids).

• Autoclavable up to 121 °C and suitable for aerosol-tight applications with correct accessories.

• Features and Benefits

• Enables high-volume processing in a single spin, improving lab throughput.

• Swing-bucket design improves pellet geometry and separation compared to fixed-angle rotors.

• Modular design allows flexibility with different bucket/adaptor combinations.

• Biocontainment capable for sensitive work requiring aerosol containment.

• Durable construction compatible with multiple centrifuge models.

• Options and Accessories

• Buckets sold separately (e.g., 750 mL round buckets, lids, O-ring sets).

• Adapters for various tube sizes and microplates (e.g., 15 mL, 50 mL, flasks).

• Biocontainment lids and specialized carriers for plates or flasks.

• Ensure rotor, bucket, and adapter compatibility with the centrifuge model.

• Typical Applications

• Processing large-volume tubes for cell culture or bioprocessing scale-up.

• Blood separation and clinical sample processing with large-volume containers.

• Microbiology and genomics workflows requiring bulk volumes or multiple tubes.

• Separation of body fluids, large samples, or scale-up sample preparation in life-science labs.

• Laboratories needing biocontainment capable centrifugation for safety.
