Fiberlite™ Carbon Fiber Rotors

Fixed-tilt_angle rotors are the primary choice for rapid pelleting of bacteria, yeast, and nucleic acids.

Specialized Microplate & Large Volume Rotors:

For genomic screening and diagnostic testing, Fiberlite swinging bucket rotors provide high-capacity solutions.

• H3-LV Large Volume Rotor (75003665): Designed for high-volume microplate processing. This swinging bucket rotor is ideal for protein precipitation, plasmid purification, and collecting physiological fluids.

Key Technical Benefits:

• Weight Reduction: Easier to handle and load, reducing the strain on the centrifuge motor and drive shaft.
• Repairable Design: Unlike aluminum rotors, which must be decommissioned if scratched, Fiberlite rotors are often repairable, extending their lifecycle even further.
• Nalgene™ Compatibility: Specifically designed to work with Nalgene™ bottles and tubes for a perfect fit and leak-proof performance.
• Thermal Insulation: Carbon fiber is a poor conductor of heat, helping to maintain stable sample temperatures during high-speed runs.

Laboratory Maintenance & Safety:

• Performance Variables: Maximum speeds and RCF may vary depending on whether your centrifuge is a 120 V or 230 V model. Always check the rotor manual for the specific limits of your unit.
• O-Ring Care: To maintain a certified seal, ensure you use the correct O-ring Refresher Kit (specific to your rotor model) to prevent leaks and sample contamination.
• Balancing: Even with lightweight materials, load symmetry is vital. Always balance tubes within 0.5 g to prevent excessive vibration at high RPMs.

Recommended for:

• F14-6 x 250LE, F15-6 x 100y, F10-6 x 100 LEX: Pelleting bacteria or yeast cells and for purifying nucleic acids and cells.
• F13-14 x 50cy: Pelleting prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells from cell cultures.
• H3-LV: Pelleting cells and cellular debris, protein precipitation, plasmid purification and collecting physiological fluids for diagnostic tests.

Please Note: Performance may vary by centrifuge model.
