Frequently Asked Questions
Which centrifuges accept these swing-out rotors?
Both rotors are designed specifically for the GCC-MP Series Multi-Purpose Clinical Centrifuges and are not interchangeable with other Globe Scientific centrifuge lines.
What is the maximum operating speed?
Each rotor is rated to a maximum of 4000 RPM. Always observe the centrifuge's load and balance guidelines before reaching top speed.
What is the difference between the two options?
The GCC-MP-SWING-PLATE is a 2-place rotor for microplate carriers, while the GCC-MP-SWING is a 4-place rotor designed to hold buckets for tube-based spins.
How should I clean the aluminum alloy rotor?
Wipe with neutral detergent and water, then dry promptly. Avoid strong acids and bases, which can corrode aluminum over time.
