Angle rotor 4 x 80/85 ml for Sigma 3-16L, -KL, 3-18KS, 3-30KS
This high-quality rotor has been specially developed to reliably support modern laboratory applications and ensure optimum results in sample preparation. It scores highly with its high performance and flexibility, especially for sensitive or time-critical investigations in research institutions, clinics and pharmaceutical laboratories. Compared to conventional accessories, this solution impresses with the best possible material quality, first-class workmanship and a wide range of applications for a broad spectrum of protocols and experiments.
Performance characteristics and design
The rotor is designed to meet the high demands of centrifuge applications in everyday laboratory work. Its construction from robust materials ensures durability and safety, while its precise manufacturing supports speed stability even at the highest speeds. A hermetic seal ensures that aerosols and sample residues remain inside the rotor lid. This significantly reduces the risk of contamination and keeps the working environment clean and protected from potential hazards. The following key technical points provide a quick overview of the most important features: - Maximum speed (depending on centrifuge model): up to 20,000 min-¹
- Maximum RCF (depending on centrifuge model): up to 40,695
- Compatible with stainless steel and plastic vessels, volume 80-85 ml
- Aluminium hermetic lid for secure sample protection
- Robust design for long-term operational readiness
- Autoclavable and easy to clean
- Optimally tailored to clinical, biotechnological and pharmaceutical requirements
In addition to these points, the design is particularly low-vibration, which supports consistent sample separation and protects the cells or molecules in the samples. The integrity of the samples is essential for accurate analysis results, so the rotor contributes significantly to the quality and reproducibility of test series.
Standard-compliant quality and safety
In highly sensitive laboratory environments, strict requirements apply to the safety of centrifuge components. This rotor is manufactured in accordance with relevant standards and bears the CE mark, which documents compliance with European safety and health requirements. In addition, production and quality control meet the requirements of current ISO certifications. The accessory thus complies with international standards and provides a reliable basis for precise analyses and reproducible results.
An additional advantage is the ease of maintenance and cleaning. This is an important factor, especially in the field of clinical diagnostics, where contamination risks must be kept to a minimum. Regular checks of the rotor for damage and proper functioning also contribute to its longevity and protect both samples and users.
Specific application examples
This angled lid has a wide range of applications and can be used in numerous areas of modern laboratory technology:
- Clinical diagnostics: Efficient extraction of serum and plasma from blood samples for laboratory tests.
- Molecular biology research: Gentle sedimentation of cell cultures and isolation of bacteria.
- Biotechnology: Purification and concentration of proteins or nucleic acids, such as DNA or RNA.
- Pharmaceutical development: Testing the stability of active ingredients and formulations, for example when separating certain fractions.
Thanks to its design and variable speeds, the rotor delivers reliable and reproducible results for cell culture samples, antibodies, proteins and a wide range of organic analytes. This makes it ideal for laboratories that carry out both routine tests and complex research projects.
FAQs
How are sample vessels positioned correctly?
The vessels should always be evenly distributed to ensure balanced operation. Also, make sure that the vessels are tightly closed to prevent leakage.
Can the rotor be sterilised?
