Fixed Angle Rotors

Fixed-angle rotors feature a medium pathlength, a fast run time and excellent resolution. Tubes are held at a constant angle during spinning — typically between 22°–45° from vertical. They're commonly used at higher speeds, for small to large volumes, and for pelleting applications such as bacteria and yeast to recover the pellet and remove particles from a suspension. They're also used for isopycnic banding of DNA. When pelleting, the pellet ends up at the outer bottom wall of the tube, allowing for easy collection. A fixed-angle rotor is ideal for gaining easy access to the pellet.

Swing-Bucket Rotors

Swinging-bucket centrifuge rotors feature a full pathlength, slow run time, and excellent resolution.

The swinging bucket rotor allows the tube to change angle during the run. The buckets are vertical when stopped and horizontal when running. The parallel geometry of the swinging buckets allow the sample to move through the density gradients without interruption, unlike fixed-angle geometry, where the sample hits the wall and smears, which can compromise the separation.

Primary Use Tissue culture processing & whole cell harvesting.
Geometry Buckets transition from vertical (rest) to horizontal (run).
