HIGHPlate™ Swinging Bucket Rotors
Manufacturer: Thermo Fisher
Thermo Scientific™ HIGHPlate™ Swinging Bucket Rotors are a specialized, high-capacity solution designed specifically for nucleic acid and protein filtration protocols. Its unique windshielded design reduces air friction and noise while preventing sample heating during high-speed runs, which is critical for maintaining the integrity of temperature-sensitive biomolecules. With the ability to accommodate up to 10 standard microplates or 2 deep-well plates in a single run, the HIGHPlate rotor significantly increases throughput for laboratories performing DNA purification, protein precipitation, or high-volume library screenings. Its 90° swinging tilt angle ensures that centrifugal force is applied vertically through the filter membranes, providing consistent and uniform filtration across all wells.

Lead Times May Vary
Accommodate 10 standard or 2 deepwell plates or 1 filtration plate for nucleic acid and protein filtration with the Thermo Scientific™ HIGHPlate™ Windshielded Swinging Bucket Rotor.
Key Functional Benefits:
- Optimized for Filtration: Specifically engineered for the high RCF required to pull viscous liquids or buffers through dense filter membranes in DNA/RNA purification kits.
- Windshielded Aerodynamics: The included rotor cross windshield and lid minimize drag, allowing the centrifuge motor to reach maximum speeds more efficiently while keeping the chamber quiet.
- Versatile Plate Handling: Beyond standard and deep-well plates, this rotor is ideal for specialized filtration plates used in protein chromatography and sample clarification.
- Comprehensive Kit: The rotor package comes ready for installation, including essential lubricants and a specialized windshield to ensure long-term performance.
Operational Insights:
- Centrifuge Compatibility: This rotor is specifically designed for use with large-capacity centrifuges, including the Sorvall™ Legend™ RT/T Plus, Heraeus™ Multifuge™ 4, and Cryofuge™ 5500i.
- Lubrication Protocol: To prevent the buckets from sticking, apply the included grease (70006692) to the rotor pins and the lubricant (76003500) to the windshield contact points regularly as per the manual (50073893).
- Balanced Loading: Even when only processing a single filtration plate, you must use a "balance plate" of equal weight in the opposite bucket to prevent excess vibration and potential damage to the drive shaft.
Please Note: Performance may vary by centrifuge model.
