Beckman Coulter S4180 Swinging-Bucket Centrifuge Rotor

The Beckman Coulter S4180 is a swinging-bucket rotor designed as a key accessory for laboratory centrifuges, compatible with Beckman Coulter Allegra 21 series, GS-15 series, and Spinchron 15 series centrifuges. It operates at a maximum speed of 5,500 rpm (limited to 4,500 rpm in non-refrigerated centrifuges) producing a maximum relative centrifugal force (RCF) of 5,450 x g.

Key technical features include:

• Maximum rotor capacity of 4 x 180 ml, suitable for processing large volume samples.
• Includes 4 buckets and 2 adapters (model 361228) to accommodate up to seven 15 ml tubes, enhancing versatility for molecular biology and bioprocessing workflows.
• Designed to support critical applications in biotechnology research such as cell harvesting, protein precipitation, and sample clarification in molecular diagnostics and synthetic biology experiments.
• The rotor’s compatibility with multiple Beckman Coulter centrifuge models ensures integration in biopharmaceutical production pipelines, gene editing studies, and biomedical engineering labs requiring reliable and reproducible centrifugation performance.

This rotor is essential for laboratories performing high-throughput sample preparation, widely used in biotechnology and clinical diagnostics environments for efficient and precise sample separation.
