Thanks to its sophisticated design, the rotating components can be used optimally to achieve reliable separation results. This not only increases throughput, but also simplifies everyday laboratory work.

Fields of application in detail

A flexible centrifuge solution is particularly sought after in clinical laboratories, which have to process a large number of different samples. This swing-out rotor is ideal for quickly centrifuging blood or plasma samples in tubes up to 110 mm in length. At the same time, it is a reliable option for research-oriented environments where cell cultures and sample volumes of 5 to 15 ml are frequently used. Powerful centrifugation can play a decisive role in obtaining flawless analysis materials, especially when preparing cell lysates.

It is also in demand in the biotechnology sector when it comes to purifying or separating microorganisms and biomolecules. For example, if bacterial cultures are used for the production of recombinant proteins or the extraction of plasmid DNA, a reliable centrifuge makes the process considerably easier. Its ease of use is also practical for laboratories that rely on fast, reproducible work in routine operations.

Important technical data

For a quick overview, here are the essential technical specifications in compact form: - Maximum speed: 4000 min-¹
- Capacity: 2 places
- Compatible with 4-fold carrier 13035
- User-friendly design without rotor bolts requiring lubrication
- Tube compatibility: tubes up to 110 mm in length, 5-15 ml round-bottom

In addition to these key features, users benefit from extensive adapter options. For example, the rotor can be equipped with reduction inserts for vessels of different diameters and lengths in order to process an even wider range of tubes and containers.

Adapter options

- Reducing insert for 1 vessel approx. 5 ml (Ø 13.5/17 × 70-82 mm)
- Reducing insert for 1 vessel approx. 5 ml (Ø 12.8 × 75-90 mm)
- Reducing insert for 1 vessel 4.5-7 ml (Ø 12.3 × 90-105 mm)

These modular applications make the rotor an extremely versatile component in everyday laboratory work. In addition, the CE marking and compliance with relevant ISO standards ensure that high quality and safety standards are met.

FAQs

What types of samples can be processed with the rotor?
