Description
Rotor F-45-18-17 Cryo is a fixed-angle rotor supplied without rotor lid and without adapters for Centrifuge 5702, 5702 R, and 5702 RH. It provides 18 sample positions and is intended for centrifugation of 1–2 mL cryo vessels (maximum 13 mm diameter when used with adapter) and screw-cap vessels up to a maximum diameter of 17 mm without an adapter. Maximum speed is 1970 × g (4400 rpm), supporting cryovial and screw-cap tube applications in cold-chain, biobanking, and general laboratory sample work. Quiet operation is maintained even without a rotor lid, which helps during repeated loading cycles. Rotors and adapters are autoclavable at 121 °C for 20 min, supporting standard sterilization intervals. Packed as one piece from manufacturer Eppendorf, the unit has a net weight of 1,125 kg and a gross weight of 1,250 kg with a packaging volume of 0,007 m³. The Cryo-oriented design bridges cryogenic storage tubes and larger screw-cap formats on the same 5702-series platform, giving laboratories a dedicated angle rotor when protocols move beyond standard 1,5/2,0 mL microcentrifuge tubes while remaining within the stated diameter limits.
This article belongs on Rotors, in Centrifuges.

Questions about Rotor F-45-18-17 Cryo verp.
What is this article?
Rotor F-45-18-17 Cryo verp. 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.
