What rotor types are available for centrifuges?
The most common rotor types are fixed-angle rotors and swing-out rotors. Fixed-angle rotors are typically used for faster separations and high-speed pelleting, making them suitable for DNA/RNA extraction, protein precipitation, cell pelleting, and microbiology workflows. Swing-out rotors are ideal when clear layer separation is required, such as in blood fractionation, clinical diagnostics, density gradient centrifugation, and serum or plasma preparation.
