Description
Rotor F-45-18-11-Kit is a fixed-angle rotor for spin-column work and standard microcentrifuge tubes on Centrifuge 5424 and Centrifuge 5424 R. It provides 18 sample positions for spin columns or 1,5/2,0 ml vessels and reaches a maximum relative centrifugal force of 18.111 × g at 15,000 rpm. An extended rim helps protect vessel lids from shearing during high-speed runs, supporting dependable handling of purification columns and conventional tubes in molecular biology and routine centrifugation. Supplied as a kit with lid, the rotor suits laboratories that switch between column-based preparations and 1,5 or 2,0 ml formats on the same instrument platform. This accessory from manufacturer Eppendorf is intended specifically for the 5424 / 5424 R series. With a net weight of 0,990 kg and a single-piece pack size, it is straightforward to store, balance, and exchange when protocols change. The 18-place layout offers practical capacity for parallel spin-column processing while remaining compatible with everyday microvolume tubes used across research and analytical workflows.

Questions about ROTOR 18x2ML SPIN COLUMN KIT +LID (5424)
What is this article?
ROTOR 18x2ML SPIN COLUMN KIT +LID (5424) 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.
