This unique rotor offers a solution for a common problem when working with MiniPrep spin column kits: open tube lids that shear off during the elution step. This problem traditionally occurs because standard rotors do not provide enough support for open tube lids during centrifugation. The Eppendorf Kit rotor is designed with an extended rim that serves as a rest for tube caps during centrifugation and protects them from shearing off. Your tube lids will not tear off anymore.
| Features |
|---|
| Max. rotor capacity: 24 × 1.5/2.0 mL vessels |
| Max. speed: 21,130 × g (15,000 rpm) |
| Small footprint and low access height of 23 cm |
| OptiBowl® design for quiet operation – even without a rotor lid |
| Soft-touch one-finger lid closure for ergonomic operation |
| Temperature range from -10 °C to +40 °C |
| ECO power shut-off engages after 8 hours of non-use to reduce energy consumption (40 % over night) and extend compressor life (can be deactivated) |
| FastTemp function for quick pre-cooling of the centrifuge, e.g. from ~ 21 °C to 4 °C in only 8 minutes |
| Guaranteed temperature of 4 °C at maximum rotational speed |
| Built-in condensation drain to eliminate water accumulation in the rotor chamber |
| The patented compressor technology reduces vibrations and protects your samples |
