Description
Ohaus part number 83041009 is a fixed-angle rotor with four positions, listed by Ohaus as taking either 50 mL RB/FA or 15 mL RB/FA tubes. Ohaus catalogues it within the Frontier 5000 rotor series.
This is the only rotor in this catalogue listed against two tube formats. For a bench that runs both 15 mL and 50 mL work it removes a rotor change between protocols, which in practice is the main reason to prefer it over the single-format alternatives here: 30472305, 30314834 and 30314832 in 15 mL, and the larger 30553086 at 4 x 500 mL.
What the documentation held for this listing does not say is how the smaller format is accommodated, whether by direct fit or by adapters, and whether any adapters are supplied. It also states no maximum speed, RCF, material or temperature rating, and rated limits commonly differ between the two loadings of a dual-format rotor. Request the current Ohaus rotor specification for 83041009 before assuming one rating covers both configurations.
Frequently asked questions
What tubes does this rotor take?+
Four positions, listed by Ohaus for either 50 mL RB/FA or 15 mL RB/FA tubes under part number 83041009. Confirm the tube dimensions the rotor is cut for against the manufacturer's specification before ordering consumables.
Are adapters needed for the 15 mL format, and are they included?+
Not stated in the documentation we hold. A rotor listed for two tube sizes may accommodate the smaller one by direct fit or by adapters, and we will not assume either. Confirm the arrangement and the packing list against the Ohaus specification for 83041009 before ordering.
Does the same speed rating apply to both tube formats?+
Not something to assume. Rated limits for a dual-format rotor commonly differ between loadings, and no rating of any kind is stated in the documentation we hold. Take both figures from the current Ohaus specification for 83041009.
Which centrifuges does it fit?+
Ohaus catalogues 83041009 within the Frontier 5000 rotor series. Confirm the part number against your instrument's approved rotor list before ordering.
What are the alternatives if I only run one tube size?+
For 15 mL only, this catalogue lists 30472305 at 8 places, 30314834 at 12 and 30314832 at 30. For larger volumes, 30553086 is a fixed-angle rotor at 4 x 500 mL. A single-format rotor generally gives more positions per run than a dual-format one at the same footprint.
