PHOENIX Instrument rotor with lid for CD-3024, 18 x 5 ml, aerosol-tight
The rotor is specially designed for centrifugal workflows in the professional laboratory environment, where speed, precision and maximum safety are crucial. With its resilient, aerosol-tight lid and capacity of 18 × 5 ml, the accessory opens up a wide range of applications from separation processes to sample preparation in medical, pharmaceutical and biotechnology laboratories. Thanks to modern manufacturing technology, the rotor is particularly durable and powerful, which offers significant advantages over conventional rotor systems in terms of stability and sample integrity. The [PHOENIX Instrument Rotor for CD-3012] is similarly robust, which can be used for similar applications and represents a flexible alternative in various laboratory processes.
Description
In addition to its load capacity, the rotor offers extremely precise concentricity, which ensures optimum separation results even at high speeds. Sample tubes can be positioned quickly and securely thanks to the clearly structured mounting trays. This makes everyday routine use, where many work steps have to be carried out in a short time, particularly easy. The rotor was developed to be compatible with the CD-3024 centrifuge so that it can be easily replaced and guarantees a reliable fit.
Aerosol tightness plays a key role in protecting against possible contamination and unwanted emissions. Especially in microbiological applications or when working with potentially infectious material, this rotor can significantly increase safety in the laboratory.
The most important technical features include
- Aerosol-tight lid to minimize contamination risks
- Capacity: 18 sample tubes of 5 ml each
- Ergonomic sample holder for fast loading
- High chemical resistance of the material
- Compatible with the CD-3024 centrifuge
- Designed for high speeds in routine and research applications
- Easy replacement due to custom-fit design
All other relevant technical data on speed limits and temperature resistance are precisely covered by the PHOENIX Instrument design. This means that even sensitive materials, such as blood samples or cell cultures, can be handled safely and efficiently. In addition, the product is designed to deliver consistently impressive results, even in continuous use, without compromising on performance.
Certifications and standards
The rotor complies with strict European safety standards and is CE-marked. This guarantees that it meets the applicable requirements in terms of product safety, health and environmental protection. For laboratories with certified quality management systems, this enables seamless integration and traceability of the tools in order to maintain compliance with DIN ISO, for example.
Application examples
- Sample preparation in clinical laboratories, for example when separating blood components
- Biotechnological research, e.g. in cell and molecular biology
- Pharmaceutical quality control, where precise separation methods are indispensable
- University teaching and research in microbiology and biochemistry
Pin cells, cell extracts and samples containing viruses can be centrifuged easily and safely without exposing laboratory staff to health risks. Highly efficient sealing systems prevent potentially dangerous aerosols from escaping.
FAQs
What is the best way to clean the rotor?
Ideally, it should be cleaned with mild, non-abrasive cleaning agents and lukewarm water. A final disinfection with suitable solutions is recommended to avoid contamination.
Can I use tubes of different sizes?
For optimum performance, only tubes with a volume of 5 ml should be used. Adapters for other tube sizes are possible depending on the equipment, but are offered separately by PHOENIX Instrument.
How do I prevent an imbalance?
When loading, make sure that all positions are symmetrically filled with samples. If the number of tubes is uneven, we recommend using an equalizing vessel with the same total mass to ensure reliable and low-vibration results.
What speed is recommended
The maximum permissible speed varies depending on the sample properties. Follow the specifications of your centrifuge and the protocols for your specific field of application to ensure optimum separation results.
Conclusion
With its highly stable and aerosol-tight design, the rotor in the CD-3024 centrifuge meets the highest standards of efficiency and safety. It is easy to integrate and improves productivity without compromising on quality or contamination. For demanding laboratory processes where reliable separation results are essential, this rotor offers a sophisticated solution that combines stability, durability and user-friendliness.
