Description
Rotor FA-24x2 is an aerosol-tight fixed-angle rotor for the Centrifuge 5420, complete with an aerosol-tight rotor lid and configured for 24 × 1,5/2,0 mL tubes. It delivers a maximum speed of 21300 × g (15060 rpm) and a maximum capacity of 24 × 1,5/2,0 mL vessels, supporting routine high-speed microcentrifugation under aerosol-tight conditions. The rotor is intended specifically for Centrifuge 5420 systems and is supplied as a single piece, with a net weight of 0,772 kg and a gross weight of 1,050 kg. Manufactured by Eppendorf, this FA-24x2 assembly provides the sealed lid and vessel layout needed when sample containment and compact 1,5/2,0 mL throughput are required side by side. Packaging volume is 0,006 m³; origin is Germany (Saxony). Use the rotor wherever aerosol-tight processing of up to twenty-four microcentrifuge tubes is specified on the 5420 platform, from molecular biology workflows to general laboratory sample preparation.
This article is part of Rotors, in Centrifuges.

Questions about FA-24x2 rotor, Centrifuge 5420
What is this article?
FA-24x2 rotor, Centrifuge 5420 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.
