Angle rotor 6 x 1000 ml for Sigma 8K
The angle rotor 6 x 1000 ml for Sigma 8K is specially designed for demanding centrifugation applications in laboratories. It impresses above all with its high capacity combined with a robust design, making it the preferred solution in areas such as biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, clinical diagnostics and the food industry. Compared to other rotor models, this rotor enables reliable centrifugation of large volumes and guarantees clean results and safe handling.
Sophisticated performance and design
This model is designed as an angle rotor and can accommodate up to 6 x 1000 ml sample tubes. Thanks to the use of steel sleeves and reducer inserts, the system remains extremely flexible: different types of bottles, whether stainless steel or plastic, can be used without any problems. In addition, the hermetic lid ensures a contamination-free working environment by reliably protecting the interior from external influences. The solid construction of the rotor and its balanced centre of gravity ensure smooth running, which has a positive effect on the service life of both the centrifuge and the rotor.
During the development of this rotor, great importance was attached to ergonomics. The simple assembly within the centrifuge makes everyday work much easier, as operation - from preparation to sample removal - is convenient and quick. This makes the model ideal for laboratories with a high sample throughput that want to achieve reproducible and precise results in the shortest possible time. - Rotor type: Angle rotor
- Capacity: 6 x 1000 ml
- Material: steel sleeves, plastic bottles and reducer inserts
- Closure: secure hermetic lid
- Specially designed for Sigma 8K centrifuges
- High durability and vibration stability
- Ideal for applications with high sample volumes
The sophisticated design enables uniform acceleration and deceleration even with large sample volumes. This is particularly important to ensure correct separations, for example in the extraction of cell pellets, the concentration of proteins or in investigations relating to blood plasma processing.
Certifications and standards
Safety and quality play a central role in laboratory equipment. For this reason, the rotor meets all relevant specifications so that it can be used in a wide variety of highly regulated environments:
- CE marking: Guarantees compliance with European directives and safety standards.
- ISO certification: Proves that production is carried out in strict accordance with international quality standards.
This provides users with a reliable and standard-compliant solution that meets the current and future requirements of modern laboratories.
Specific application examples
This model impresses with its versatility and supports a wide range of processes in various industries:
- Biotechnology: During the centrifugation of cell cultures, large volumes of cell culture medium can be efficiently separated to obtain cell pellets for subsequent experiments or fermentation processes.
- Pharmaceuticals: Pharmaceutical substances can be safely enriched and purified, for example during the production of enzymes, antibodies or vaccines.
- Clinical diagnostics: High sample throughputs for blood and urine samples require reliable and contamination-free work. Here, the hermetic lid enables clean separation of sensitive samples.
- Food industry: Analyses in quality control of dairy products, juices or other foods often require the stability and accuracy of a high-performance rotor.
Other applications are also conceivable in research laboratories where samples of various types - from microorganisms to animal cell lines - need to be processed and characterised.
FAQs
How is this rotor installed in the centrifuge?
Installation is carried out by placing the rotor on the appropriate holder in the Sigma 8K centrifuge. The required sleeves or reduction inserts are then attached according to the bottle sizes used. The hermetic lid can be easily attached and closed, creating a safe and sealed environment.
What samples can be processed?
The model is versatile and suitable for various liquid samples, including cell culture supernatants, blood, urine or pharmaceutical solutions. Thanks to the robust steel sleeves and reducer inserts, centrifugation can be carried out with both plastic and stainless steel containers.
How is it cleaned?
Suitable laboratory detergents and disinfectants can be used for regular cleaning. It is important to thoroughly remove any residues from all rotor components, especially the sleeves and the lid. The rotor should then be carefully dried to prevent corrosion. Maintenance intervals depend on the frequency and intensity of use as well as the manufacturer's specifications. Are there any special safety precautions? As considerable forces are at work at high speeds, it is important to ensure that the rotor is always correctly seated. In addition, only compatible accessories should be used to rule out mechanical and biological hazards. Wearing suitable protective equipment (e.g. laboratory goggles and gloves) is strongly recommended.
Conclusion
With its robust design and high-volume capacity, this rotor provides a particularly powerful centrifugation solution for a wide range of laboratory environments. Thanks to its stable design, secure hermetic lid and compatibility with various sleeve systems, it is both flexible and reliable in use. Whether in pharmaceutical research, biotechnological production, clinical diagnostics or quality control in the food industry, it guarantees fast, precise and contamination-free results for extensive centrifugation tasks.
