Description
AVAILABLE ROTORS
1-8
Airfuge rotors are made of anodized aluminum and have turbine
flutes on the bottom that provide the driving surface for the jets of air.
Pressurized air impinges on the rotor bottom and lifts and turns the
rotor. A white plastic bushing fitted in the rotor bottom is engaged by
the brake pin during braking.
Rotors are designed to meet specific needs. Detailed information
about each rotor is contained in the applicable rotor manual.
• The A-110 fixed angle rotor holds up to six 180-µL tubes at a tube
angle of 18 degrees from the axis of rotation, and is ideal for the
rapid separation of small sample volumes in a very short time.
Maximum operating speed is 110 000 rpm at 30 psig (207 kPa) air
pressure.
• The A-100/18 fixed angle rotor holds up to six 175-µL tubes at
a tube angle of 18 degrees from the axis of rotation, and is ideal
for the efficient sedimentation of small sample volumes in a very
short time. Maximum operating speed is 95 000 rpm at 30 psig
(207 kPa) air pressure.
• The A-100/30 fixed angle rotor holds up to six 240-µL tubes at
a tube angle of 30 degrees from the axis of rotation, and is ideal
for the efficient sedimentation of small sample volumes in a very
short time. Maximum operating speed is 92 000 rpm at 30 psig
(207 kPa) air pressure.
• The A-95 fixed angle rotor holds up to four 450-μL tubes at a tube
angle of 30 degrees from the axis of rotation, and is ideal for the
rapid separation of small sample volumes in a very short time or
to isolate microsomal fractions and plasma membranes. It can also
be used to clarify small volumes of lipemic serum by flotation of
the chylomicrons. Maximum operating speed is 95 000 rpm at
30 psig (207 kPa) air pressure.
• The ACR-90 rotor uses 3.5-mL and 2.4-mL disposable liners,
and is used to clarify lipemic serum. Serum can be clarified by a
10-minute spin at 90 000 rpm at 30 psig (207 kPa) air pressure.
• The EM-90 electron microscopy particle-counting rotor is specifi-
cally designed for sedimenting particulates from very small
volumes onto supports suitable for insertion into an electron
microscope. The rotor is rated for 90 000 rpm at 30 psig (207 kPa)
air pressure.
• The Batch rotor can be used to pellet particles from a single large
sample. Sample volumes of 2 to 7 mL can be run. The rotor is
rated for 90 000 rpm at 30 psig (207 kPa) air pressure.
