Description
Rotor FA-20x5 is an aerosol-tight fixed-angle rotor for 20 Eppendorf Tubes® 5,0 mL, specified for Centrifuge 5910 Ri, Centrifuge 5910 R and Centrifuge 5920 R. It delivers a maximum relative centrifugal force of 20 913 × g at 13 100 rpm, supporting demanding tube-based workflows in research and routine laboratories. The Eppendorf QuickLock rotor lid allows rapid lid locking in daily use, while aerosol-tight design—tested by Public Health England, Porton Down (United Kingdom)—helps enable safer centrifugation of hazardous samples. Anodized aluminium construction provides high chemical resistance; the rotor, lid and adapters are autoclavable. For Eppendorf Tubes® 5,0 mL with screw caps, capacity is limited to 10 vessels. Offered as a single-piece unit with a net weight of 2,880 kg and gross weight of 3,150 kg, this rotor from manufacturer Eppendorf is a dedicated accessory for high-speed processing of 5,0 mL tubes on the compatible 59xx centrifuge platforms.
This article belongs on Rotors, in Centrifuges.

Questions about Rotor FA-20x5
What is this article?
Rotor FA-20x5 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.
