BIOShield™ 1000A Swinging-Bucket Rotors
Manufacturer: Thermo Fisher
Thermo Scientific™ BIOShield™ 1000A Swinging Bucket Rotors are an advanced centrifugal solution designed for labs that require high-speed performance without compromising safety. Engineered with a specialized windshield and aerodynamic design, it can reach an RCF of 7,164 x g, making it ideal for blood separations, microbiology, and clinical research. The hallmark of the BIOShield™ series is its certified biocontainment capability. The rotor operates as a completely sealed system, ensuring that any accidental tube failures or aerosols are contained within the rotor windshield. Combined with the SlideCoat™ anti-friction finish, this rotor ensures smooth operation and long-term durability in high-throughput environments.

Safely spin frequently-used tubes up to 7164 x g under sealed conditions using Thermo Scientific™ BIOShield™ 1000A Swinging-Bucket Rotor.
Key Functional Benefits:
- Aerodynamic Efficiency: The windshield design reduces drag and noise while preventing air friction from heating sensitive samples during long runs.
- Certified Protection: Fully tested to contain spills and aerosols, providing an extra layer of protection when processing potentially infectious body fluids or hazardous chemicals.
- Advanced Lubrication: The Slide Coat™ finish reduces the need for frequent manual greasing of the rotor pins, ensuring consistent swinging action and reducing mechanical stress.
- Versatile Tube Support: Although it has a 250 mL bucket base, a wide range of adapters is available to accommodate 50 mL conicals, 15 mL conicals, and standard 5/7 mL blood tubes.
Recommended for:
- Blood tube separations, cell culture and microbiological applications
Operational Insights:
- Component Checklist: The kit includes the rotor body, windshield, buckets, and sealing lid. However, tube adapters are sold separately and are essential for any tube size smaller than 250 mL.
- Compatible Centrifuges: This rotor is specifically designed for the Sorvall™ ST 40, Legend™ XT, Multifuge™ X3, and Megafuge™ 40 series.
- Maintenance Tip: To maintain the biocontainment certification, the windshield O-ring must be inspected for debris and kept lightly lubricated. Replace the O-ring immediately if any cracks or compression set are visible.
Please Note: Performance may vary by centrifuge model.
