Sartorius - Hereus Sepatech RHTA 13.8 Centrifuge Rotor

• Separation of biological samples such as blood, urine, and cell cultures in clinical diagnostics.
• Processing of DNA, RNA, and protein samples in molecular biology and biotechnology research.
• Preparation of samples for analytical techniques in pharmaceutical quality control.
• Isolation of components from chemical mixtures in research and development laboratories.

Rotor type

Typically a fixed-angle rotor, common for high-speed pelleting applications.

Maximum RCF (Relative Centrifugal Force)

For this class of rotor, RCF values commonly range from 15,000 x g to over 25,000 x g, depending on the compatible centrifuge model.

Maximum speed

Typically designed for speeds between 10,000 and 15,000 RPM when used with appropriate Heraeus centrifuge systems.

Tube capacity

Commonly accommodates 6 to 12 tubes, with tube volumes typically ranging from 1.5 mL to 50 mL, depending on the specific bucket or adapter configuration.

Rotor material

Often constructed from high-grade aluminium or composite materials for durability and chemical resistance.

Temperature compatibility

Suitable for use in refrigerated centrifuges, allowing for temperature-sensitive separations.

• What types of tubes are compatible with the RHTA 13.8 rotor?

  Compatibility depends on the specific tube adapters or buckets available for this rotor. Buyers should verify with the seller for the exact tube sizes and types supported by the unit on offer.

• Is this rotor suitable for high-speed applications?

• How do I ensure this rotor is compatible with my existing centrifuge?

• What maintenance is required for a centrifuge rotor?

• Can this rotor be used for continuous flow centrifugation?

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.
