Description
Rotor A-4-38 is a swing-bucket rotor supplied with round buckets for Eppendorf Centrifuge 5702, 5702 R and 5702 RH. It provides eight places with a maximum vessel diameter of 38 mm and includes four 100 mL round buckets as standard. Maximum performance is 3.052 × g at 4,400 rpm, making it a standard choice for blood-collection tubes and conical 15 mL or 50 mL vessels. The round buckets accept vessels from 1,5 mL to 100 mL, and a wide range of adapters covers common blood-draw and cell-culture formats. Optional aerosol-tight caps are available for safer handling of hazardous samples; aerosol tightness has been tested by Public Health England, Porton Down (United Kingdom). Net weight is 2,259 kg and gross weight 2,510 kg, with a packaging volume of 0,013 m³. This rotor from manufacturer Eppendorf is packaged ready for installation on the stated 5702-series instruments and supports flexible routine centrifugation in clinical and research laboratories. Country of origin is Germany (Saxony).
This article is part of Rotors, in Centrifuges.

Questions about Rotor A-4-38 wrapped
What is this article?
Rotor A-4-38 wrapped 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.
