Centrifuge Rotor 5mL for GCM-24 Series - High Speed Aluminum Alloy with Lid

The Globe Scientific GCM-24 Series 5mL Rotors expand the versatility of your GCM-24 high-speed microcentrifuge to accommodate larger 5mL tubes. These precision-engineered aluminum alloy rotors feature integrated lids with fixing clips and O-ring seals for secure sample containment during high-speed centrifugation up to 15,000 RPM.

Available in two configurations to match your tube requirements, these 5mL centrifuge rotors provide reliable performance for clinical sample processing, cell culture harvesting, and general laboratory separations. The lightweight aluminum alloy construction ensures rapid acceleration and deceleration while maintaining excellent balance characteristics at high speeds.

Key Features & Benefits

• High-Quality Aluminum Alloy Construction: Precision-machined from aerospace-grade aluminum for optimal strength-to-weight ratio, ensuring smooth operation and long service life even with daily use.
• Integrated Lid with Sealing System: Secure-locking lid with fixing clips and O-ring seal prevents aerosol release and sample contamination during centrifugation, essential for biohazard containment.
• 15,000 RPM Maximum Speed: Rated for high-speed operation generating maximum centrifugal force for efficient separation of cellular components, precipitates, and density gradients.
• Two Tube Configurations Available: Choose 12-place rotor for 5mL conical bottom tubes or 18-place rotor for 5mL round bottom tubes to match your specific tube inventory.
• Compatible with GCM-24 Series: Direct replacement rotor for all GCM-24 and GCM-R-24 microcentrifuge models including refrigerated versions.
• Autoclavable Design: Rotor body can be autoclaved at 121°C for sterile applications and decontamination protocols.
