Description
Rotor FA-18x2-Kit is an aerosol-tight fixed-angle rotor for 18 × 1,5/2,0 mL vessels or spin columns, supplied complete with rotor lid for Centrifuge 5425 and Centrifuge 5425 R. It reaches a maximum speed of 18.565 × g (15,060 rpm) and features a raised rim that supports safe centrifugation of up to 18 spin columns. Aerosol-tight sealing is provided by the Eppendorf QuickLock® lid, helping maintain containment during kit-based and column workflows. Maximum load is configured for eighteen 1,5/2,0 mL tubes or spin columns, addressing nucleic-acid preparation and similar protocols that rely on spin-column formats. This rotor from manufacturer Eppendorf is delivered as one piece for the Centrifuge 5425/5425 R series. Net weight is 1,133 kg and gross weight is 1,258 kg, with a packaging volume of 0,006 m³. The elevated rim geometry together with QuickLock® aerosol-tight closure makes the FA-18x2-Kit a practical choice when secure, high-speed processing of spin columns and standard micro tubes is required.
This article is part of Rotors, in Centrifuges.

Questions about Rotor FA-18x2-Kit for Cent 5425/R
What is this article?
Rotor FA-18x2-Kit for Cent 5425/R 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.
