• Concentration of samples in biochemistry and biotechnology applications.

Rotor type

Fixed angle rotor, designed for high-speed pelleting.

Typical capacity

This model typically accommodates 30 x 1.5/2.0 ml microtubes.

Maximum RCF (relative centrifugal force)

For this class of Eppendorf fixed angle rotors, maximum RCF can commonly range up to 20,000-25,000 x g, depending on the specific centrifuge model it is paired with.

Maximum speed

Typically designed for speeds up to 14,000-16,000 rpm when used with compatible Eppendorf centrifuges.

Material

Commonly constructed from anodised aluminium for durability and chemical resistance.

Compatibility

Designed for use with specific Eppendorf centrifuge models; buyers should verify compatibility with their existing unit.

• What is a fixed angle rotor used for?

  Fixed angle rotors are primarily used for pelleting applications where samples are separated into a pellet at the bottom of the tube and a supernatant. They are effective for high-speed separations.

• How do I know if this rotor is compatible with my centrifuge?

• What maintenance is required for a fixed angle rotor?

• Can this rotor be autoclaved?

• What types of tubes are suitable for this rotor?

Centrifuge rotors, buckets and accessories hold strong reputations for reliability and durability when purchased used. Buyers typically value compatibility verification with specific centrifuge models before purchase, as mismatched components compromise performance and safety. Industry users commonly praise the robustness of quality rotor materials and balanced construction. When sourcing used examples, inspecting for corrosion, wear patterns and proper calibration certification proves essential. Established manufacturers' products tend to command buyer confidence due to consistent build standards and longer operational lifespans across demanding laboratory and pharmaceutical applications.
