The DLAB AS30-2 Fixed Angle Rotor is a standard accessory specifically designed for the D1536 and D1536R series multi-purpose centrifuges. It is also compatible with the DM0636 series, though performance specifications like maximum speed vary depending on the base unit used.
Technical Specifications
When paired with the high-performance D1536 series, the AS30-2 rotor typically achieves the following:
- Maximum Speed: 15,000 rpm.
- Maximum RCF: 25,150 × g.
- Rotor Capacity: 2 mL × 30 tubes.
- Material: High-strength aluminum alloy.
- Safety Features: Includes Bio-sealing (Bio-safe) capabilities for containing hazardous samples.
Core Capabilities
While this rotor is natively built for 2.0 mL tubes, its utility is defined by its high-speed performance and bio-safety features:
- Capacity: 30 slots for 2.0 mL or 1.5 mL micro-centrifuge tubes.
- High Performance: In the D1536 series, it reaches a top speed of 15,000 rpm with a maximum RCF of 25,150 × g, making it suitable for DNA/RNA precipitation and protein work.
- Bio-Sealing: Features a bio-safe (bio-sealing) lid, essential for preventing aerosol contamination when working with hazardous or sensitive biological samples.
- Durability: Constructed from high-strength aluminum alloy to withstand high centrifugal forces.
Compatible Adapters for Smaller Tubes
To use smaller tube volumes within the 2.0 mL slots of the AS30-2, DLAB offers specific adapters that ensure a secure fit:
- 0.2 mL Tube Adapters: Allows for the use of standard PCR tubes.
- 0.5 mL Tube Adapters: Specialized inserts for 500 µL micro-tubes.
- Availability: These are typically sold in sets (e.g., Camlab offers sets of 24) and are compatible across multiple DLAB high-speed rotors like the AS24-2 and AS30-2.
Rotor Variations & Alternatives
For the D1536 series, you might also consider these standard accessories depending on your specific volume needs:
- AS60-2 Rotor: A higher capacity micro-tube rotor (60 × 2 mL) for even larger batch processing.
- Swing-out Rotors: While the AS30-2 is fixed-angle (optimized for pelleting), swing-out options are available for standard 50 mL or 100 mL tubes and micro-plates.
