Rotors

Rotors are essential components of laboratory evaporators, facilitating efficient and gentle solvent removal from a variety of sample types. These rotating components hold sample tubes or flasks within the evaporator and create centrifugal force, increasing the surface area of the liquid and accelerating evaporation under controlled temperature and pressure. This process is crucial for numerous workflows, including sample concentration, drying, and purification in applications like spectroscopy, chromatography, and general sample preparation. Rotors are designed to accommodate various tube and flask sizes and materials, optimizing evaporation efficiency for diverse research needs. Compatible with leading evaporator brands such as Thermo Fisher, Agilent, Mettler Toledo, and Sartorius, rotors are available in various configurations, including fixed-angle, swing-bucket, and vacuum... + More

Compatible with leading evaporator brands such as Thermo Fisher, Agilent, Mettler Toledo, and Sartorius, rotors are available in various configurations, including fixed-angle, swing-bucket, and vacuum rotors, each catering to specific applications and sample volumes. Choosing the appropriate rotor is critical for achieving optimal evaporation results and preventing sample loss or damage. For example, fixed-angle rotors are often preferred for high-speed centrifugation, while swing-bucket rotors offer versatility for different tube sizes and improved pelleting efficiency. Careful selection ensures effective sample processing and supports various scientific techniques requiring precise solvent removal. ALT offers a selection of pre-owned and refurbished rotors, each backed by a standard 90-day warranty that can be upgraded to a three-year warranty, along with ALT's lifetime support. Because they're refurbished, rotors from ALT are typically priced 50%-80% lower than the cost of new instruments, helping labs stretch their budget further without compromising on quality. - Less
