Ortoalresa RT177 Swinging Bucket Rotor for Benchtop Centrifuges

The Ortoalresa RT177 is a refurbished swinging bucket rotor specifically designed for the Ortoalresa Unicen 21 benchtop centrifuge, widely adopted in clinical diagnostics and molecular biology laboratories. This rotor operates at a maximum speed of 4200 rpm and delivers a maximum relative centrifugal force (RCF) of 2860 xg, ensuring effective separation of biological samples with precision.

Key technical features include:

• Capacity: 8 tubes of 15 ml each, suitable for processing moderate sample volumes in bioprocessing workflows and molecular diagnostics.
• Rotor radius: 145 mm, optimized for balanced centrifugal force distribution.
• Adapter compatibility:
• RE 377 adapters for 5 ml blood collection tubes (diameter 13 x 82 mm) and 5 ml round bottom tubes (diameter 13 x 75 mm).
• RE 371 adapters for 7-10 ml blood collection tubes (diameter 13 x 107 mm) and 10 ml round bottom tubes (diameter 13 x 100 mm).

This rotor’s versatility and durable design make it essential for molecular cloning workflows, gene editing sample preparations, and routine clinical sample processing. It supports reproducible centrifugation results critical for synthetic biology research and biomanufacturing pipelines. The refurbished condition by Galileo Scientific guarantees reliability and cost-effectiveness, ideal for laboratories emphasizing productivity and scientific accuracy.

By enabling compatible blood collection and round bottom tubes with precise adapter fittings, the RT177 rotor enhances workflow efficiency in biochemical and biomedical engineering applications. Its robust performance is critical in research fields involving cell fractionation, protein isolation, and nucleic acid purification, aligning with biotech industry standards.
