Eppendorf
Eppendorf has introduced four new rotors for Centrifuges 5804/5804 R and 5810/5810 R, which are defined as the true workhorses of the laboratory with their renowned quality, reliability and versatility.
Two new swing-bucket rotors increase the capacity of Centrifuge 5804/5804 R to one litre and Centrifuge 5810/5810 R to three litres. The new three litre swing-bucket rotor (4 x 750 ml) reportedly makes the Centrifuge 5810/5810 R the smallest three litre centrifuge available and contains options for round and plate buckets, either of which can use new aerosol-tight Eppendorf QuickLock caps for one-handed operation. Also, the new aerodynamic round bucket design allows for energy savings up to 36% (compared with rotor A-4-81).
In addition, there are two new fixed-angle rotors now available for both Centrifuges 5804/5804 R and 5810/5810 R. These rotors include aerosol-tight Eppendorf QuickLock lids, which require only a quarter turn. The new 48 x 1.5/2 ml rotor (FA-45-48-11) has a max speed of 19,083 x g. Also available is a high-capacity fixed-angle rotor for 15 ml conical and glass tubes (F-35-48-17), with capacity for 40 x 15 ml conical tubes and max speed up to 5,050 x g.
