Description
Ohaus part number 30314841 is a fixed-angle rotor that accepts four 8-place PCR strips, or 32 tube positions in total, and carries the ID designation in the manufacturer’s part name. Ohaus lists it within the Frontier 5000 rotor series.
Strip rotors exist for the short spin-down step that follows thermal cycling or plate handling, collecting condensate and wall droplets to the bottom of each tube before the strip is opened. The load is light and the runs are brief, so selection usually turns on strip fit and on which rotor the centrifuge on the bench actually accepts rather than on capacity.
This catalogue lists two rotors in this format: 30314841 with the ID designation and 83041014 with the V1 designation. We hold no documentation explaining the difference between them, and no statement of maximum speed, RCF, material or strip-profile compatibility for either. Request the current Ohaus rotor specification for 30314841 and confirm which part your centrifuge is approved to run.
Frequently asked questions
How many tubes does this rotor hold?+
Four 8-place PCR strips, which is 32 tube positions in total. The position count follows directly from the strip format; tube volume is not stated in the documentation we hold for this part, so confirm it against the Ohaus rotor specification if your strips are non-standard.
What is the difference between 30314841 and 83041014?+
Both are 4 x 8-place PCR strip fixed-angle rotors in this catalogue. 30314841 carries the ID designation and 83041014 carries V1. We hold no manufacturer documentation explaining the distinction and will not invent one; confirm with the Ohaus specification which part number your centrifuge is approved to run.
Will it take any PCR strip?+
Not necessarily. Strip rotors are cut for a specific tube and cap profile, and domed, flat and optical caps differ in overall height. Check your strip against the manufacturer's rotor specification for 30314841 before standardising a consumable around it.
Which centrifuges does it fit?+
Ohaus catalogues 30314841 within the Frontier 5000 rotor series. Confirm the part number against your instrument's approved rotor list before ordering.
What are the maximum speed and RCF?+
Not stated in the documentation we hold. Request the current Ohaus specification for 30314841. Note that strip spin-downs are normally short, low-speed steps, but the rotor's rated limit still governs and is set by the manufacturer, not by the application.
