Many rotors available.

The Thermo Scientific Sorvall LYNX 6000 (also branded as Sorval LYNX 6000 Superspeed Centrifuge, with the floor-model design, wide rotor chamber opening, and 2022 manufacture date label) is a high-performance, refrigerated floor-standing superspeed centrifuge designed for demanding, high-throughput applications in research, bioprocessing, and production labs. It handles large-volume separations like cell harvesting, protein purification, viral particle isolation, and continuous-flow/zonal runs, with a broad rotor portfolio (fixed-angle, swinging-bucket, continuous-flow) for flexibility. Key features include Auto-Lock rotor exchange for quick, secure swaps; Auto-ID instant rotor recognition; touchscreen Centri-Touch interface with multilingual support, rotor calculator, and user programs; Smart Vacuum for energy efficiency; optional HEPA filter for enhanced biosafety; pre-cooling; and Green Mode for reduced power use during idle periods. Your unit (Made in Germany, refrigerant R-449A, max kinetic energy 203 kNm) is a 2022 model with robust construction for reliable, long-term operation.
