Sigma Swing-out Rotor For 32 X 1.5/2.0 mL Reaction Tubes Incl, 8 Buckets, USED

Overview:

The Sigma Swing-out Rotor system (typically associated with the 11133 or 11180 rotor base) is a high-throughput solution designed for the rapid processing of microcentrifuge tubes. This configuration includes 8 specialized buckets, each capable of holding 4 tubes, allowing for a total capacity of 32 x 1.5/2.0 mL reaction tubes. Unlike fixed-angle rotors, this swing-out design ensures that the pellet is deposited horizontally at the absolute bottom of the tube, making it ideal for delicate supernatant removal and gradient separations.

Key Features:

• 8-Bucket Configuration: Features 8 independent swinging positions. Each bucket is precision-weighted to ensure a vibration-free run even at maximum speeds.

• Horizontal Sedimentation: The 90° swing angle ensures that pellets form at the dead center of the tube bottom, minimizing sample loss during aspiration.

• Versatile Micro-Volume Support: Specifically bored for standard 1.5 mL and 2.0 mL microcentrifuge tubes (e.g., Eppendorf Safe-Lock).
  

Applications:

• High-Throughput DNA/RNA Extraction: Processing multiple spin columns or precipitation tubes in a single run.
• Phase Separation: Ideal for Phenol-Chloroform extractions where a clear horizontal interface is required.
• Proteomics: Pelleting protein precipitates or clearing lysates prior to chromatography.
