Angle rotor 24 x 1.5/2.0 ml for Sigma 1-14, 1-14K
This rotor has been specially designed to enable high sample capacity and reliable performance in laboratory environments with the Sigma Laboratory Centrifuges 1-14 and 1-14K centrifuge models. Its robust design, flexibility in using different vessel sizes and high-quality materials make it an excellent option for demanding applications where precise and consistent results are required. Compared to conventional rotors, it offers an optimal balance between durability and practical handling, making it a first-class choice for laboratories that value efficiency and quality.
Performance and design
To offer maximum reliability and safety, this rotor combines a robust design with high chemical resistance. Thanks to its polysulfone construction, it is designed to withstand frequent use in everyday laboratory work. In addition, the product is designed to effectively minimise vibration and wear - a decisive advantage when high-precision separations or sample preparations are required.
The development of this accessory is based on many years of experience in the manufacture of professional laboratory centrifuges. It enables consistent, fast and reproducible separation performance without compromising the integrity of the sample material. In addition, the well-thought-out design contributes to easy handling: vessels can be conveniently inserted and removed, while the lids provide additional protection for the samples.
Technical details and special features
Below is a compact summary of the most important specifications:
- Rotor type: Angle rotor
- Capacity: 24 x 1.5/2.0 ml
- Material: Polysulphone (particularly resistant and durable)
- Lid included: Sturdy protective lid, ideal for safe sample centrifugation
- Autoclavable: Suitable for high-temperature sterilisation processes
- Compatible with adapters: Available for smaller reaction vessels and PCR vessels
- Certifications: Complies with current standards and CE requirements
In addition, the product is highly resistant to chemical influences, meaning that even more demanding biological or chemical substances can be processed without hesitation. The fit is precisely tailored to the above-mentioned centrifuge models in order to guarantee optimum results both at high speeds and in continuous operation. The CE mark also confirms compliance with strict European safety and quality standards, which makes it particularly attractive for use in accredited laboratories. Typical areas of application This rotor is particularly impressive in molecular biology, clinical diagnostics and biochemistry. Here are some examples of applications:
- DNA and RNA extraction: Uniform separation and efficient pelletisation reduce the time required for nucleic acid processing. - Protein analysis: Recommended for protein precipitation or precipitation, for example when isolating certain enzymes or antibodies.
- Cell fractionation: Thanks to its robust design, it is also suitable for separating small cell or organelle fractions.
- PCR sample preparation: The preparation of small sample vessels, which is common in laboratories, is particularly easy thanks to compatible adapters.
In addition, the product is a useful addition to research into new active ingredients and quality control in pharmaceutical or biotechnology companies when several samples need to be processed simultaneously. A reliable, durable rotor option is essential, especially in areas where reproducibility and time management are paramount.
FAQs
What is the maximum speed that can be achieved with this rotor?
The recommended maximum speed is based on the specifications of the 1-14 and 1-14K devices. The exact upper limit is specified in the official device specifications and should always be observed to avoid damage.
Can this rotor be used with both refrigerated and non-refrigerated models?
Yes, it can be used with both models (1-14, 1-14K) as it is designed to fit perfectly. Please always observe the temperature and operating limits to ensure a long service life.
Are special adapters required for tiny volumes?
Optional adapters are available for 0.2 ml PCR tubes or very small samples. This allows the same rotor to be used flexibly for a wide range of applications.
Can the rotor be immersed in disinfectant or sterilisation solutions for cleaning?
Thanks to the polysulphone material, brief contact with chemical cleaners or disinfectant solutions is generally not a problem. For sterilisation at high temperatures, autoclaving is suitable in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations.
How important is it to balance the samples correctly?
A balanced load is essential to prevent vibrations and possible damage. Always make sure to place samples of equal weight opposite each other, especially if not all 24 positions are occupied.
Conclusion
The 24 x 1.5/2.0 ml angle rotor is a compelling solution for modern laboratories that require high sample capacity and reliable performance. Its robust polysulphone construction, certification to relevant standards and flexible adaptability make it suitable for a wide range of applications, for example in molecular biology, diagnostics or biochemistry. This accessory enables consistent results to be achieved quickly and efficiently, while at the same time protecting sensitive samples in the best possible way. This makes this rotor a valuable addition to laboratories that want to simplify their workflows and optimise their results.
