Description
Rotor A-4-81 without buckets or carriers is a swing-bucket rotor for Centrifuge 5810 and Centrifuge 5810 R. It delivers a maximum speed of 3.220 × g (4,000 rpm) and accepts vessels and bottles from 0,2 mL to 500 mL as well as plates, giving broad format coverage on a single rotor body. Mixed loading with two plate buckets and two rectangular buckets increases day-to-day flexibility when different sample types must run together. Optional aerosol-tight caps support safer centrifugation of hazardous samples; aerosol tightness has been tested by Public Health England, Porton Down (United Kingdom). Buckets, caps and adapters are autoclavable at 121 °C for 20 minutes. Offered as 1 piece from manufacturer Eppendorf, the rotor is supplied without beakers or hangers so users can equip the configuration they need. Net weight is 5,580 kg, gross weight 6,200 kg and packaging volume 0,014 m³, with origin in Germany. Dual-use classification is stated as no. This rotor forms the core swing-out platform for plate and vessel work on the 5810/5810 R centrifuge series.

Questions about Rotor A-4-81 ohne Becher/Gehän
What is this article?
Rotor A-4-81 ohne Becher/Gehän 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.
