Angle rotor 30 x 1.5/2.0 ml for Sigma 3-16L, -KL, 3-18KS, 3-30KS
This high-quality rotor from Sigma Laboratory Centrifuges is specially designed for demanding applications with the 3-16L, 3-16KL, 3-18KS and 3-30KS centrifuge models. Its applications range from routine tests in clinical laboratories to complex research applications in biotechnology and pharmaceuticals. Users benefit from its outstanding performance and reliability, especially when it comes to fast and efficient processing of multiple samples simultaneously. Compared to many comparable rotor systems, it stands out thanks to its robust design, high speeds and impressive durability.
Maximum reliability for efficient sample processing
With its stable aluminium construction, this rotor is designed for durability and safety. The hermetic lids ensure that samples can be processed without contamination. In addition, the model complies with relevant safety and quality standards such as CE marking and various ISO standards. This rotor therefore guarantees precise and reproducible centrifugation results in a variety of laboratory environments.
- Maximum speed of up to 20,000 min-¹ (depending on the centrifuge model used)
- RZB values of up to 44,720 for fast and efficient separation
- Aluminium as rotor and lid material for high resistance to solvents
- Secure hermetic lids prevent unwanted release of aerosols
- Compatibility with various adapters for holding different vessel sizes
- Reliable compliance with important standards and quality requirements
- Designed for labour-intensive applications, e.g. DNA/RNA separation or protein purification
The above points cover the key data that are decisive when selecting a rotor. In addition, this rotor system is perfectly suited for workflows in which fast transfer times between protocols are just as important as consistent sample quality.
Performance data at a glance
The speeds and thus the achievable relative centrifugal acceleration (RCA) vary depending on the respective centrifuge. In the 3-16L model, for example, the rotor reaches a speed of up to 13,200 min-¹ and an RCA of 19,480. A Sigma 3-18KS, on the other hand, can achieve 16,400 rpm and 30,700 RCF, which is ideal for sensitive samples where shorter centrifugation times and gentle conditions are advantageous. The 3-30KS can achieve speeds of up to 20,000 min-¹ and 44,720 RZB - ideal when switching between different protocols and always requiring high separation performance.
Wide range of applications
Thanks to its flexibility, this rotor can be used in many different areas. Some typical scenarios in which fast and precise separation is essential: - DNA and RNA extraction from cell lysates or bacterial cultures
- Protein purification, e.g. for the isolation of antibodies
- Harvesting and separation of cells in cell culture experiments
- Processing of blood and urine samples for diagnostic purposes
The robustness of the rotor also allows it to handle aggressive chemicals, which is particularly appreciated in laboratories with diverse analysis and research tasks.
Adaptability
Adapters for tubes with volumes from 0.2 ml to 1.5 ml are available to securely hold a wide variety of sample vessels. This significantly expands the range of applications and allows quick switching between PCR vessels, reaction vessels or conical tubes, for example. In this way, changed protocols can be implemented without great effort, which can be a decisive time advantage, especially in complex research projects.
