The A12-2P is a high-strength plastic rotor kit designed specifically for use with the D2012 Plus high-speed mini centrifuge. It features a fixed-angle design capable of reaching speeds up to 15,000 rpm and a relative centrifugal force (RCF) of 15,100 x g. The A12-2P (Cat. No. 19400010) is a specialized high-strength plastic rotor kit exclusively for the D2012 Plus centrifuge. It is engineered for high-speed molecular biology applications like DNA/RNA extraction and nucleic acid purification.
Key Specifications
- Capacity: Standard 12-place capacity for 2.0mL/1.5mL microtubes.
- Material: Constructed from high-strength plastic (denoted by the “P” in the model name).
- Kit Components: Typically includes the plastic rotor, a lid (often blank/no logo), fixing clips, and an O-ring.
- Compatibility: Exclusively for the D2012 Plus model; it is not generally compatible with the standard D2012 (which often uses the A12-2 aluminum rotor).
Versatility & Adapters
While the native capacity is for 1.5/2.0mL tubes, you can use smaller volumes with specific adapters:
- A02P2: 0.2mL rotor adapter (24 pcs/pk).
- A05P2: 0.5mL rotor adapter (24 pcs/pk).
Technical Specifications
- Max Speed & Force: 15,000 rpm and 15,100 x g.
- Capacity: 12 slots for 1.5mL or 2.0mL microtubes.
- Dynamic Response: Reaches max speed in 11 seconds and brakes to a stop in 9 seconds.
- Speed Accuracy: Controlled to within ±20 rpm.
- Safety Testing: The rotor is part of a system that has passed rigorous explosion-proof tests and meets MCA (Mechanical Capacity Assessment) standards according to IEC/EN61010-2-20.
Component Details
The A12-2P is typically sold as a “Plastic Rotor Kit” which includes:
- Plastic Rotor: High-strength polymer construction.
- Rotor Lid: Features a blank logo/no-logo design.
- Fixing Clips: To secure the lid during high-speed operation.
- O-ring: Essential for maintaining a proper seal.
