Angle rotor 24 x 1.5/2.0 ml for Sigma 2-16P, 2-16KL
This rotor is the ideal solution for all laboratories that require a powerful and reliable centrifugation method for sample volumes of 1.5 ml or 2.0 ml. With its particularly robust aluminium construction and practical hermetic lid, it is ideal for minimising contamination and ensuring safe handling in everyday laboratory work. If you are looking for reliable accessories for compatible centrifuges, this is a particularly efficient alternative to conventional rotor systems.
Performance characteristics and design
The rotor is specifically designed for use with Sigma 2-16P and 2-16KL and has a capacity of up to 24 reaction vessels. This allows multiple samples to be processed in a single run, enabling fast and cost-effective laboratory routines. Its angular design allows precise separation of different substances in the shortest possible time. In addition, the high-quality aluminium housing ensures stability at high speeds. In biomedical and diagnostic laboratory environments in particular, it is crucial to achieve contamination-free and reproducible results. The supplied hermetic lid counteracts unwanted evaporation and the ingress of particles.

In addition, specific adapters are available to accommodate different vessel sizes such as 0.25/0.4 ml, 0.5/0.75 ml, 1.5 ml or 0.2 ml for PCR applications. This ensures flexible, application-oriented configuration without the need to purchase additional rotors or make extensive new purchases.
Certifications, standards and quality features
The rotor complies with current CE and ISO guidelines, ensuring that basic safety and quality standards are met. This is of central importance in laboratories where strict regulations apply. The material resistance and design ensure long-term reliability. As aluminium is the main material used, the rotor can be autoclaved, which is an important aspect for anyone working in sensitive areas such as molecular biology or clinical diagnostics who is dependent on a germ-free environment. Typical applications DNA and RNA extraction: Whether plasmid purification or genomic DNA isolation, effective separation of cell debris and other contaminants is ensured thanks to high speeds and precise angle design. - Protein preparation: In the biotechnology environment, the separation of insoluble particles after cell lysis is an essential step. The rotor enables rapid purification of proteins.
- Clinical diagnostics: Blood and urine samples can be quickly centrifuged to separate serum and other components for analysis or testing.
- PCR preparation: With the appropriate adapters, PCR vessels can be used, which saves time and money in molecular biology as no separate centrifuge is required.
Consistently high-quality results are essential, especially for demanding investigations. The angular design of the rotor helps to ensure that aggregates and sediments are reliably deposited at the bottom of the tube.
Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
How many samples can be processed with the rotor at the same time?
The rotor has 24 positions for reaction vessels with a volume of 1.5 ml or 2.0 ml. This allows up to 24 samples to be processed simultaneously.
Is it intended for use with PCR tubes?
Yes. Thanks to special adapters, the rotor can also be used for 0.2 ml PCR tubes, which increases flexibility in sample processing.
What is the maximum centrifugation speed?
The maximum speed depends on the centrifuge model. The Sigma 2-16P can reach speeds of up to 15,000 rpm, while the Sigma 2-16KL can reach speeds of up to 15,300 rpm.
Can the rotor be sterilised?
As it is made of aluminium, it can be easily sterilised in an autoclave. This ensures a hygienic working environment, especially when handling sensitive sample material.
What standards and certifications are available?
The rotor is CE-listed and complies with essential ISO standards. This guarantees high processing quality and reliable safety in the laboratory.
