Centrifuge rotor, fixed angle

A fixed-angle centrifuge rotor is a component of a centrifuge that holds sample tubes at a set angle relative to the angle during operation. It is mounted on the centrifuge’s drive shaft and used to separate substances in liquid samples by spinning them at high speeds, enabling applications such as cell pelleting, protein precipitation, or nucleic acid isolation in clinical and research laboratories.

This category refers specifically to the rotor as a replaceable part of centrifuge systems, not the entire centrifuge unit. Devices in this category are typically supplied as accessories or components and are regulated based on their intended use and risk profile, often falling under general laboratory equipment regulations depending on jurisdiction and associated centrifuge system classification.
