Description
Rotor A-8-17 packaged is a low-capacity swing-out rotor for 8 × 15 mL tubes, supplied without adapters and without rubber mats. It is intended for Centrifuge 5702, 5702 R and 5702 RH and reaches a maximum speed of 2800 × g (4400 rpm), supporting routine separation of conical 15 mL vessels or 15 mL glass tubes. Maximum vessel height is 120 mm, so tube selection should respect this limit for safe operation. Optional adapters for conical 15 mL tubes and rubber mat inserts for glass vessels are available separately when the workflow requires them. Offered as 1 pc from manufacturer Eppendorf, the packaged rotor has a net weight of 1,170 kg and a gross weight of 1,300 kg, with a packaging volume of 0,006 m³. This configuration suits laboratories that need a compact 15 mL rotor for the 5702 centrifuge family without bundled accessories, leaving adapter and mat choices open to the specific vessel type in use.
This article is part of Rotors, in Centrifuges.

Questions about Rotor A-8-17 verpackt
What is this article?
Rotor A-8-17 verpackt 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.
