Compatibility

Designed for specific centrifuge models; buyers should verify compatibility with their existing centrifuge.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is the primary advantage of a fixed-angle rotor?

  Fixed-angle rotors are efficient for pelleting samples quickly due to their design, which forces particles to the bottom and side of the tube, forming a compact pellet.

• Can this rotor be used with any centrifuge?

• What tube types are typically compatible with this rotor?

• How should this rotor be maintained?

• What does 'full working condition' imply for a used rotor?
