Zentrifugenrotoren What this product does - Holds and secures sample vessels in a centrifuge to generate controlled centrifugal force for separation, clarification, pelleting, or fractionation. - Converts rotor speed into reproducible centrifugal fields for accurate sample processing in laboratory workflows. Key benefits — why you need it - Reliable separation: Enables consistent phase separation (e.g., supernatant vs pellet, plasma vs cells) for downstream analysis or processing. - Time and workflow efficiency: Speeds up common lab procedures compared with gravity-based methods. - Durability and safety: Engineered to withstand repeated high-speed operation and to maintain balance and containment during runs. - Flexible use: Accepts a range of tube sizes and adapter configurations to support multiple sample types without replacing the centrifuge. Important attributes - Function: Designed to hold sample tubes, bottles, or plates at defined angles (swinging-bucket or fixed-angle types) to produce the required g-forces for your application. - Compatibility: Intended for use with matching centrifuge models and rotor adapters; check rotor-to-centrifuge fit and locking mechanism before use. - Size and capacity: Available in configurations for microtubes, conical tubes, blood collection tubes, and larger bottles; choose the rotor format that matches your sample volume and throughput needs. - Material and construction: Manufactured from high-strength, corrosion-resistant alloys or engineered polymers to resist fatigue and chemical exposure common in lab environments. - Performance: Rated for specific maximum rotor speeds and relative centrifugal force (RCF); follow rated limits for safe operation and consistent results. Practical applications / use scenarios - Clinical sample processing: Rapid separation of serum or plasma from whole blood for clinical assays and diagnostic testing. - Molecular biology workflows: Pelletization of cells, nucleic acids, or precipitated proteins to prepare samples for extraction, purification, or analysis. - Preparative laboratory tasks: Clarification of culture supernatants or concentration of viral or protein preparations prior to downstream processing. Safety and maintenance notes - Always verify rotor compatibility, maximum speed/RCF, and proper installation before starting the centrifuge. - Inspect for corrosion, cracks, or deformation routinely; replace rotors or adapters showing wear. - Balance sample loads precisely and use approved tubes and adapters to prevent imbalance and reduce wear on the machine. - Clean and store rotors according to lab safety guidelines and manufacturer recommendations to prolong service life. Choose the appropriate rotor configuration based on tube type, sample volume, and required RCF to ensure safe, reproducible results in your laboratory procedures.
