Description
4-place oscillating rotor for Universal 320/320R is a swing-out rotor configured for the Universal 320 and Universal 320R centrifuge series. Listed as type 1494, it operates at up to 5000/min and generates a maximum relative centrifugal force of 4165 × g. The rotor accommodates 4 × 50 ml vessels, making it suitable for medium-volume sample processing in research, clinical and industrial laboratories. Delivered as one piece with a weight of 1,259 kg, this four-place oscillating design supports balanced runs with standard 50 ml tubes. It expands the application range of Universal 320/320R instruments where higher speed and force are required for tube-based separations. The rotor is available from manufacturer Hettich and matches the mechanical interface of the Universal 320/320R platforms. Laboratories can use it for routine pelleting, phase separation and similar protocols that benefit from swing-out geometry and the stated capacity of four 50 ml positions. Ideal as a dedicated rotor option when equipping or upgrading these universal centrifuges.
This article is part of Rotors, in Centrifuges.

Questions about 4-p. oscillati. rotor Universal 320/320R, type 1494, 5000/min, 4165xg, 4 x 50 ml
What is this article?
4-p. oscillati. rotor Universal 320/320R, type 1494, 5000/min, 4165xg, 4 x 50 ml is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Hettich 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.
