Fixed Angle Centrifuge Rotors

Fixed Angle Centrifuge Rotors are designed to hold tubes at a 45° angle during centrifugation, ensuring efficient separation of components in samples like cells, proteins, or DNA. These rotors are commonly used in laboratories for tasks such as separating plasma or clarifying cell culture supernatants.

These rotors work by placing sample tubes at a fixed 45° angle relative to the axis of rotation. When the centrifuge spins, centrifugal force pushes components of the sample towards the bottom of the tube, effectively separating the different components based on their size and density.

Fixed Angle Centrifuge Rotors are versatile and can handle a wide range of samples, including biological fluids, blood, cell culture supernatants, and proteins. They are especially useful for separating liquids with different densities.

Fixed Angle Centrifuge Rotors are typically designed for specific models of centrifuges, so it’s important to ensure compatibility with your centrifuge machine. Be sure to check the rotor specifications to confirm if it fits your equipment.

The ideal rotor depends on factors such as sample volume, required speed (RPM), and the type of centrifuge you are using. Consult the rotor's specifications to match it with your sample requirements and centrifuge capacity.

Fixed Angle Centrifuge Rotors are generally made of durable materials like aluminum, which offers a balance of strength, weight, and corrosion resistance. Some higher-end models may also be made from carbon fiber or other advanced materials for enhanced performance and durability.

Yes, Fixed Angle Centrifuge Rotors are designed to handle high-speed operations, but the maximum speed depends on the rotor's construction and the centrifuge's capabilities. Be sure to check the rotor’s maximum RPM rating to ensure it is suitable for your needs.

Yes, most Fixed Angle Centrifuge Rotors are easy to clean. They can be wiped down with a mild detergent or disinfectant. However, always follow the manufacturer’s cleaning guidelines to avoid damage, especially for rotors with delicate finishes or advanced materials.

Regular maintenance includes inspecting the rotor for cracks, corrosion, or signs of wear. Ensure that the rotor is balanced properly before use to prevent damage to both the rotor and the centrifuge. Always follow the maintenance instructions provided by the manufacturer.

Yes, Fixed Angle Centrifuge Rotors are versatile and can be used in both clinical and research laboratories for various applications like protein purification, blood separation, and sample preparation in cell biology or microbiology.
