Angle rotor 12 x 1.5-2.0 ml for Sigma 3-30KS
This rotor is a reliable and highly efficient solution for anyone who handles demanding samples in the laboratory and requires maximum performance. It guarantees fast and precise separation, especially when centrifuging small volumes in molecular biology, biochemistry or medical applications. Its robust design and intelligent construction make it ideal for demanding routines and research projects alike.
Versatile features and outstanding design
The rotor is made of high-quality materials and offers a range of sample vessels between 1.5 ml and 2.0 ml. A sturdy hermetic aluminium lid protects even sensitive reaction vessels from leaks and reliably protects against contamination. In addition, the rotor is characterised by its optimised weight distribution and low vibration, which ensures excellent results even at high speeds and supports the longevity of the centrifuge.
In terms of compatibility, it is precisely matched to the Sigma 3-30KS model, but thanks to optional adapters, it can be used with different vessel sizes or PCR tubes. Its user-friendly operation significantly speeds up work steps in busy laboratory environments, allowing users to concentrate fully on their analyses. Technical highlights and advantages
- Rotor type: Angle rotor for fast centrifugation and reliable separation
- Capacity: 12 positions for 1.5-2.0 ml reaction vessels
- Hermetic lid: High-quality aluminium for secure sealing and minimisation of aerosols
- Adapter variety: Compatible with PCR tubes or various reaction tube sizes
- High running stability: Precisely designed for even weight distribution and low vibration
- Autoclavable: For effortless sterilisation and reuse
- Chemical resistant: Resists common laboratory reagents for a long service life.
The careful design also prevents excessive heating during centrifugation, which means that samples are processed in a way that preserves the substrate and results are more reproducible.
Certifications and standards
To ensure safe use in the laboratory, this rotor complies with relevant quality and safety regulations. The CE mark certifies compliance with European requirements for health, safety and environmental protection. Many components of the laboratory equipment are also subject to strict ISO specifications, which ensures consistently high manufacturing quality and reliability in practical use.
Specific application examples
- Nucleic acid purification: For DNA and RNA extractions, the uniform alignment of the sample vessels guarantees careful and efficient separation.
- Protein preparation: In protein purification and enzyme assays, the high acceleration forces ensure excellent separation.
- Cell pellet production: Cell cultures or bacterial lysates can be separated quickly to obtain cell components for further processing.
- PCR sample preparation: With the appropriate adapters, PCR vessels can also be accommodated in this rotor, which is particularly advantageous for genetic analysis.
Precise adjustment to small volumes enables high yields and reduces the risk of sample loss, especially with expensive or hard-to-obtain substances.
Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Which adapters can be used?
Thanks to the flexible design, various adapters are available for common vessel sizes from 0.2 ml (PCR) to 1.5 ml. This eliminates the need to purchase additional rotor types and allows the laboratory to remain flexible when different sample types need to be processed.
Is steam sterilisation possible?
Yes. Both the rotor and the matching inserts can be autoclaved without any problems. This significantly reduces cross-contamination and ensures a consistently sterile working environment.
How is rotor utilisation optimised?
For the most accurate separation possible, samples should be distributed evenly and always loaded in a balanced manner. The rotor blocks enable stable weight distribution, ensuring safe operation even at high rotation speeds. Can chemically aggressive reagents also be used? The aluminium used and the resistant surface treatment protect against many common laboratory chemicals. However, as different substances have different levels of aggressiveness, it is advisable to check the official compatibility lists from Sigma Laboratory Centrifuges.
