Thermo Fisher Scientific introduces the Thermo Scientific X and S Series Centrifuges
General purpose centrifuges with next-generation natural refrigerant cooling system
9 Dec 2025
Thermo Fisher Scientific has introduced the Thermo Scientific™ X and S Series Centrifuges, general purpose centrifuges that combine performance, versatility, and enhanced sustainability to meet today’s laboratory needs.
These 4-liter centrifuges feature natural refrigerant cooling systems compliant with European Union (E.U.) and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) F-gas regulations. The Thermo Scientific™ GreenCool™ Technology, utilizes hydrocarbon cooling (R290) with a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of 3, an immense reduction compared to previous cooling systems with a GWP of 1,430.
They are more energy-efficient than earlier models, are designed for longevity and are manufactured at Thermo Fisher’s site in Osterode am Harz, Germany — a certified zero-waste facility powered by 100% renewable electricity.
The X and S Series centrifuges offer exceptional rotor performance and can be equipped with Thermo Scientific™ Fiberlite™ Carbon Fiber Rotor choices, which weigh up to 60% less than aluminum rotors, enabling faster acceleration and deceleration times and reducing energy consumption per run.
They also include advanced safety features, ergonomic design and versatile configurations to support the needs of labs across medical research, biopharma and diagnostics industries.
“At Thermo Fisher, we take sustainability into account in every part of the product journey, from design to manufacturing to end-of-life disposal,” said Noreen Hong, vice president and general manager of growth, protection and separation at Thermo Fisher Scientific. “With the new X and S Series centrifuges, we’re enabling our customers to continue their critical work in areas like medical research, biopharma and clinical diagnostics while helping to reduce environmental impact.”
