FIBERLite* Centrifuge Rotors, FIBERLite Centrifuge
FIBERLite carbon fiber composite rotors are half the weight of equivalent aluminum rotors. The reduced weight makes them much easier to handle and significantly reduces the risk of lower-back injury that could result from lifting heavy metallic rotors in and out of centrifuges. They also reduce wear and tear on the centrifuge drive system and decrease maintenance costs. Total run times for larger rotors will be as much as 40% shorter due to faster acceleration and deceleration of the lighter rotors.These carbon composite rotors consist of carbon fibers embedded in an inert epoxy resin, with up to 65% of the composite structure consisting of carbon fibers. The inherent properties of the resultant composite structure give these rotors unprecedented strength, low weight, high resistance to corrosion, heat, fatigue, and other environmental influences, so they're virtually indestructible. In addition, due to the excellent insulative properties of these rotors, a precooling step is typically not necessary. Each rotor comes with a factory-installed centrifuge specific hub that makes it fully compatible with the intended centrifuge. This feature allows the rotors to work seamlessly in the most popular centrifuges from major manufacturers. Rotors accept standard bottles and tubes as used in equivalent metallic rotors. Rotors can be washed and soaked in a wide variety of laboratory detergents, are autoclavable, cold room compatible, highly resistant to radiolabel contamination and are backed by a manufacturer’s limited lifetime warranty.
