Rotors & Accessories

  • Swing Out Rotors
    Swing Out Rotors

    Swing-out rotors, also known as horizontal rotors, hold centrifuge buckets that swing outward to a horizontal position during spinning. This allows samples to remain upright at rest and become horizontal during centrifugation, enabling even sedimentation across the bottom of the tube. Swing-out rotors are ideal for applications requiring gentle, uniform separation—such as blood processing, density gradient centrifugation, and sample clarification in mixology. They are compatible with various bucket and adapter combinations, accommodating different tube sizes and volumes. Swing-out rotors offer versatility and are especially useful when sample integrity and layer separation are critical.

  • Angled Rotors
    Angled Rotors

    Angled rotors, also known as fixed-angle rotors, are designed to hold sample tubes at a consistent angle, typically between 25° and 45°. This design allows particles to pellet quickly and efficiently along the side and bottom of the tube, making angled rotors ideal for high-speed separations in applications like DNA extraction, protein purification, and cell harvesting.

    Adapters

    Centrifuge adapters are essential accessories that allow various tube sizes and types to fit securely within centrifuge buckets or rotors. They provide a snug, stable fit for smaller or specialized sample containers, ensuring proper balance and safety during high-speed spins. Adapters come in multiple configurations and are typically made from durable materials like polypropylene or metal to withstand centrifugal force and temperature variations. Whether in scientific labs or mixology applications, using the right centrifuge adapter ensures optimal performance, prevents sample loss, and extends the life of both tubes and centrifuge components.

  • Buckets
    Buckets

    Centrifuge buckets are crucial components of a centrifuge system, designed to securely hold sample tubes, bottles, or adapters during the spinning process. These buckets swing out or stay fixed depending on the rotor type, ensuring balanced, efficient separation of substances based on density. In refrigerated centrifuges, they must also withstand low temperatures while maintaining stability and preventing sample disruption. Available in various sizes and materials, centrifuge buckets are selected based on sample volume, rotor compatibility, and specific application needs across research, clinical, or mixology settings.
