Description
Replacement seal for rotor lids is a spare gasket set for Eppendorf rotors FA-45-24-11 and FA-45-16-17, covering lid sealing needs on Centrifuge 5427 R (24 × 2 ml) and related 16 × 5 ml rotor configurations such as those used with Centrifuge 5430 platforms. Each seal renews the contact surface between lid and rotor so aerosol-tight closure can be maintained after extended use. Intact lid seals support safe handling of potentially aerosol-generating samples and help keep rotor lids seating evenly at operating speed. From manufacturer Eppendorf, the pack contains five replacement seals for scheduled service or immediate swap-out when a gasket is damaged or no longer seals reliably. The parts are specified for FA-45-24-11 and FA-45-16-17 rotor lids, making them a practical stock item for laboratories running mixed microcentrifuge and 5 ml rotor workflows. Regular seal replacement preserves the intended lid function without changing rotor capacity or balance behaviour. This accessory suits molecular biology, biochemistry, and shared instrument facilities that depend on continuous centrifuge availability and proper aerosol-tight lid performance.

Questions about SPARE SEALS F/24x2(5427R)&16x5(5430),5PC
What is this article?
SPARE SEALS F/24x2(5427R)&16x5(5430),5PC 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.
