Description
Replacement seal for the rotor lid is a dedicated spare gasket for the FA-45-12-17 rotor lid used with Centrifuge 5427 R systems. These seals restore the sealing interface on the aerosol-tight lid so that the rotor cover can continue to close correctly during routine centrifugation of 12 × 5 ml vessels. Maintaining an intact lid seal is important for aerosol containment, sample protection, and consistent lid performance in daily laboratory operation. Supplied by manufacturer Eppendorf as a pack of five identical seals, the set supports planned maintenance and quick exchange when an existing gasket shows wear, deformation, or reduced sealing quality. The parts are intended specifically for the FA-45-12-17 rotor lid and fit laboratories that keep Centrifuge 5427 R rotors in continuous service. Using genuine replacement seals helps preserve the original lid geometry and sealing concept without altering rotor balance or handling characteristics. This accessory is aimed at core facilities, molecular biology labs, and service teams that stock critical centrifuge consumables to minimise downtime between runs.

Questions about SPARE SEALS F/LID 12x5ML AT,5 PCS(5427R)
What is this article?
SPARE SEALS F/LID 12x5ML AT,5 PCS(5427R) 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.
