Centrifuge Rotors Description Precision rotors designed for sample separation in laboratory centrifuges. These rotors provide the mechanical interface between the centrifuge drive and sample carriers (tubes, bottles, or adapters) and are built for reliable, repeatable performance when matched to your centrifuge’s specifications. Key benefits Reliable separation: Securely holds tubes or buckets to enable consistent pellet formation and phase separation across runs. Safe operation: Engineered to maintain balance and structural integrity under rated speeds when used within manufacturer-specified limits. Durable construction: Built from robust, corrosion-resistant materials to withstand repeated use and routine cleaning. Easy selection and installation: Available in a range of common formats and sizes so you can match the rotor to your centrifuge model and the sample containers you use. Versatile compatibility: Suitable for fixed-angle and swing-bucket applications when the correct rotor type and adapters are selected. Important attributes to consider Function: Transfers centrifugal force from the motor to the sample carriers; supports fixed-angle, swing-bucket, or specialty configurations depending on laboratory needs. Compatibility: Select the rotor that matches your centrifuge model and speed/rated g-force; use appropriate adapters for different tube sizes. Size and capacity: Available in multiple capacities (tube count and volume) — choose based on sample throughput and tube dimensions. Material and finish: Constructed from high-strength, corrosion-resistant alloys with surfaces finished for easy cleaning and long service life. Performance: Designed to run within manufacturer-specified RPM and RCF limits to ensure safety, balance, and consistent separation results. Practical use scenarios Clinical diagnostics: Separating plasma or serum from whole blood for routine biochemical testing and storage. Molecular biology: Pelleting cells or precipitating nucleic acids during DNA/RNA extraction workflows; supports processing multiple microcentrifuge tubes or larger sample volumes with appropriate adapters. Quality control and industrial testing: Clarifying suspensions or separating particulate matter in sample preparation steps for product testing and QC workflows. Safe use reminders Always confirm rotor compatibility with your centrifuge model and follow the centrifuge manufacturer’s limits for speed, RCF, and load balancing. Inspect rotors regularly for wear, corrosion, or damage and replace if any defects are found. Use proper adapters and run balanced loads to maintain performance and safety. Ordering guidance Determine rotor type (fixed-angle, swing-bucket, or specialty), capacity (tube size and count), and the maximum rated speed required for your application. Refer to your centrifuge’s manual for approved rotor specifications and installation instructions before purchase.
