Description
Rotor S-4x1000 incl. plate/tube buckets is a high-capacity swing-bucket rotor for the Centrifuge 5920 R. It delivers a maximum relative centrifugal force of 3.076 × g at 3,700 rpm and is supplied complete with plate/tube buckets that accept both microplates and vessels in the same carriers. Optional aerosol-tight QuickLock lids enable safer handling of hazardous samples; aerosol tightness has been tested by Public Health England, Porton Down (United Kingdom). Buckets and adapters are autoclavable, supporting routine laboratory decontamination. This configuration from manufacturer Eppendorf combines substantial throughput with flexible vessel and plate loading in one swing-out design, reducing hardware changes between runs. Offered as 1 pc with a net weight of 11,700 kg and a gross weight of 13 kg, the rotor suits high-volume research and clinical workflows on the Centrifuge 5920 R platform where mixed plate and tube processing and reliable swing-bucket performance are required day to day.
This article is part of Rotors, in Centrifuges.

Questions about Rotor S-4x1000 incl. plate/tube buckets
What is this article?
Rotor S-4x1000 incl. plate/tube buckets 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.
