Designed for applications using common, disposable conical tubes, JA-14.50 rotors from Beckman Coulter Life Sciences extend the flexibility of the company’s Avanti centrifuge series.
Compatible with Avanti J-26S, J-30I and J-E centrifuges, the rotors are claimed to be the only high-performance rotors capable of spinning 50, 15, 5 and 1.5 mL conical tubes, and 50, 15 and 10 mL round bottom tubes and bottles at their maximum speeds.
Delivering a top speed of 14,000 rpm and rcf of 35,000 x g, JA-14.50 rotors hold up to 16 x 50 mL conical tubes and maximise the number of 50 mL conical tubes that can be processed in a single run.
The fixed-angle rotor is intended for general pelleting of cells, bacteria and food products; separating proteins, viruses and subcellular fractions; running concentrators and columns; and for phase separation and binding studies.
Avanti centrifuges are available with a selection of BioCerti?ed ?xed-angle and swinging-bucket rotors, ranging in capacity from 360 mL to 6 L and all independently certi?ed to contain liquids and aerosols.
A BioCertified dual-locking lid configuration for workflows such as biohazardous samples, maintains biocontainment when removing the rotor from the centrifuge and transporting it to a containment hood. Rotors are also available in a standard single-locking lid configuration.
Avanti rotors, including the new JA-14.50 rotor, have a unique ID that is tracked using magnetic sensors; the centrifugation system uses Dynamic Rotor Inertia Check and the ID for Automatic Rotor Identification and to ensure that no individual rotor exceeds the maximum speed permitted.
