PHOENIX Instrument rotor with lid for CD-3024, 24 x 1.5/2 ml, aerosol-tight
This laboratory rotor is the ideal solution for users who want to process samples in a compact and reliable centrifuge with a high throughput. Thanks to its design and aerosol-tight construction, users in research, diagnostics or quality control can process sensitive samples without the risk of unwanted substance release. Compared to the [PHOENIX Instrument Rotor CD-3018], this model offers an increased capacity of 24 x 1.5/2 ml, making work processes in demanding laboratory environments more efficient.
Full description
The rotor is specially designed for the CD-3024 centrifuge to ensure smooth running and precise acceleration. It allows sufficient centrifugation of samples, for example for DNA or RNA purification, cell separation and various molecular biology applications. The aerosol-tight configuration ensures a closed and contamination-free process, which is essential in sensitive environments. Similar to the [PHOENIX Instrument Rotor CD-2015], a robust metal construction has been chosen to ensure even force distribution.
Important technical and application-specific features of this rotor model help when deciding on different laboratory procedures. For example, 1.5 ml and 2 ml tubes can be centrifuged in a single process, which increases flexibility enormously. This saves time and minimizes the risk of handling errors, especially for applications in which different volumes are changed frequently.- Capacity: 24 x 1.5/2 ml
- Aerosol-tight lid for greater safety
- Sturdy metal rotor for high running stability
- Perfect interaction with the CD-3024
- High speeds for efficient sample processing
- Easy-to-clean, corrosion-resistant material
- Compatible with common centrifuge tubes
The aerosol cap also prevents the escape of substances that are hazardous to health or the environment, thereby creating optimum safety conditions. This is particularly advantageous when working with infectious material, sensitive patient samples or potentially environmentally hazardous substances. In many laboratories, this type of rotor lid is now the standard for effectively preventing the contamination of personnel and laboratory equipment.
Certifications and standards
The rotor meets all current quality standards and laboratory guidelines for high-speed centrifuges, as required in ISO-compliant laboratories. Thanks to its precise manufacturing, users benefit from a reliable and durable component for the centrifuge. The aerosol-tight construction is also designed in accordance with current safety standards, drastically reducing potential risks from contamination.
Application examples
- DNA and RNA extractions: Precise centrifugation is required for molecular biological analyses of nucleic acids.
- Enzyme assays: Enzyme solutions with different volumes can be processed in parallel.
- Serological tests: Avoiding contamination is essential during the separation of blood serum and plasma.
- Environmental analyses: Aqueous samples with possible contaminants can be safely separated without releasing hazardous aerosols.
FAQs
Which tube types fit into this rotor?
All common 1.5 ml and 2 ml reaction tubes can be used without any problems. The flexible adaptation makes it easy to switch between different tube sizes.
How long does the aerosol-tight lid remain sealed?
The lid is designed to be permanently aerosol-tight. With proper use and regular maintenance, the tightness is maintained throughout the entire service life.
Can I autoclave the rotor?
In most cases, it can be autoclaved. Please always observe the temperature and time specifications recommended by the manufacturer for material-specific sterilization.
What is the maximum permissible speed?
The maximum permissible speed depends on the specifications of the CD-3024 centrifuge. Speeds above 13,000 rpm are usually possible, depending on the individual operating environment.
Is the rotor suitable for highly pathogenic samples?
Thanks to its aerosol-tight design and a stable metal alloy, the product can also be used for challenging samples where the highest level of safety is required.
Conclusion
If you are looking for a laboratory rotor that can be used for both high speeds and sensitive samples, this model is a particularly user-friendly and reliable solution. With its aerosol-tight design and capacity for 24 x 1.5/2 ml, it can be used efficiently to cover a wide range of analysis methods in a single step. The rotor impresses with its safety, durability and flexibility at the same time.
