The DLAB AS24-2 Aluminum Alloy Rotor is the standard bio-safe rotor designed for the D3024 Series high-speed micro-centrifuges. It is primarily configured to hold 24 tubes of 1.5 mL or 2.0 mL, but it is highly versatile through the use of specific adapters. The AS24-2 Aluminum Alloy Rotor is the standard bio-safe rotor for the D3024 Series of high-speed micro-centrifuges. In addition to its primary capacity for 1.5/2.0 mL tubes, the system is highly customizable through optional rotors and specialized adapters.
Key Specifications of the AS24-2 Rotor
- Capacity: Standard 24 places for 1.5/2.0 mL tubes.
- Max Speed/RCF: Can reach a maximum speed of 15,000 rpm and a relative centrifugal force (RCF) of 21,380 x g.
- Material: Manufactured from military-industrial grade aluminum alloy, making it fully autoclavable at 121°C for 20 minutes.
- Safety: Features a bio-safe lid (hermetically sealed with three rubber seals) to prevent sample leakage and microbial contamination.
- Compatibility: Used with both the D3024 (High-Speed Micro-Centrifuge) and D3024R (High-Speed Refrigerated Micro-Centrifuge).
Compatible Adapters
To use smaller tube sizes in the AS24-2 rotor, the following adapter sets (typically 24 pieces per pack) are available from DLAB and retailers like Camlab:
- A02P2 (Cat. No. 19500001): Adapts 2.0 mL slots for 0.2 mL tubes.
- A05P2 (Cat. No. 19500002): Adapts 2.0 mL slots for 0.5 mL tubes.
Operational Features
- Bio-Safety: All aluminum rotors feature a 3-layer sealed bio-safe lid to prevent sample leakage and microbial contamination.
- Durability: Rotors are made from military-grade aluminum and are fully autoclavable at 121°C for 20 minutes.
- Self-Aligning: Rotors are seated on a tapered shaft for concentric, self-aligning mounting to ensure stability at high speeds. [1, 2]
