Description
Rotor FA-45-24-11 with aerosol-tight (AT) lid is a fixed-angle aluminium rotor designed for safe high-speed processing of 1,5/2,0 ml microtubes on Centrifuge 5424 and 5424 R. It accommodates up to 24 × 1,5/2,0 ml vessels and reaches a maximum relative centrifugal force of 21.130 × g at 15,000 rpm, supporting demanding molecular biology and routine sample preparation workflows. The aerosol-tight lid construction enables secure centrifugation of hazardous or potentially infectious samples by limiting aerosol release during the run. Supplied as a single piece with a net weight of 0,990 kg, this rotor from manufacturer Eppendorf integrates the FA-45-24-11 geometry with an aluminium body for efficient heat transfer and mechanical stability under load. Twenty-four sample positions allow parallel processing of multiple tubes in one spin, improving throughput when working with standard microcentrifuge formats. Intended as a dedicated accessory for the 5424/5424 R platform, it is suited to laboratories that require aerosol containment together with high RCF performance for DNA/RNA work-up, protein samples, and general microvolume separations.

Questions about ROTOR 24x2ML WITH A-T LID (5424)
What is this article?
ROTOR 24x2ML WITH A-T LID (5424) is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Eppendorf for laboratory use. It sits in Rotors, inside Centrifuges, in Lab instruments.
A centrifuge rotor is the rotating part that holds the tubes, and it is rated for a maximum speed and a maximum load. A swing-out rotor and a fixed-angle rotor pellet differently. A rotor from another centrifuge does not belong on this drive, even when it seems to fit.
A centrifuge separates by density. The rotor spins the sample and the force is reported as a multiple of gravity, not as a raw speed, because the same revolutions per minute are a different force at a different radius. A microcentrifuge takes small tubes. A benchtop or floor model takes larger rotors. The tube, the adapter and the rotor have to be the combination the manufacturer rated. An unbalanced load is how centrifuges fail. Measurement of the related quantities sits with the BIPM.
Which category should I open next?
