Thermo Fisher Scientific - Thermo Scientific 75005701 Centrifuge Rotor

• Clinical laboratories for blood component separation and cell pelleting.
• Research facilities for cell culture processing, DNA/RNA extraction, and protein purification.
• Biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries for sample preparation and analysis.
• Academic institutions for educational and experimental purposes.
• Quality control laboratories for various sample preparation tasks.

Rotor Type

Typically a swinging bucket design, allowing tubes to pivot during centrifugation.

Typical Capacity

For this class of rotor, it commonly accommodates 4 buckets, each holding multiple tubes via adaptors.

Tube Compatibility

Often designed to accept various tube sizes, including common blood collection tubes (e.g., 5/7mL, 10mL) with appropriate adaptors.

Biocontainment

Many units of this type feature biocontainment lids for enhanced safety, such as ClickSeal mechanisms.

Material Construction

Typically constructed from anodised aluminium or high-grade polymers for durability and chemical resistance.

Compatibility

Specifically engineered for use with particular centrifuge models, such as Thermo Scientific Sorvall ST8 and Heraeus Megafuge 8 centrifuges.

Maximum RCF

The maximum relative centrifugal force (RCF) achievable will depend on the specific centrifuge and rotor combination; buyers should consult the seller for exact figures.

• What is a swinging bucket rotor?

  A swinging bucket rotor allows sample tubes to swing out horizontally during centrifugation, creating a compact pellet at the bottom of the tube. This design is often preferred for applications requiring clear separation layers.

• Why is biocontainment important for a centrifuge rotor?

• Can this rotor be used with any centrifuge?

• Are adaptors included with the rotor?

• What maintenance is required for a centrifuge rotor?

• What is the typical lifespan of a centrifuge rotor?

Centrifuge rotors, buckets and accessories hold strong reputations for reliability and durability when purchased used. Buyers typically value compatibility verification with specific centrifuge models before purchase, as mismatched components compromise performance and safety. Industry users commonly praise the robustness of quality rotor materials and balanced construction. When sourcing used examples, inspecting for corrosion, wear patterns and proper calibration certification proves essential. Established manufacturers' products tend to command buyer confidence due to consistent build standards and longer operational lifespans across demanding laboratory and pharmaceutical applications.
