Swing-Out Centrifuge Buckets for the GCC-MP-SWING Rotor — Sets of 4, 3 / 10 / 50 / 100 mL Capacities
Replacement and configuration Globe Scientific Swing-Out Centrifuge Buckets match the GCC-MP-SWING rotor for clinical separations, sample prep, and routine pelleting. Each pack holds four buckets, letting labs balance a full rotor in one purchase. Swap capacities to process blood collection tubes, conical centrifuge tubes, or large-volume bottles without changing rotors.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which rotor do these buckets fit?
Every set is designed for the Globe Scientific GCC-MP-SWING rotor. They are not interchangeable with fixed-angle or other swing-out rotor models.
How many buckets come in a pack?
Each SKU ships as a set of four buckets, the count needed to populate and balance a full GCC-MP-SWING rotor.
What tube sizes does each capacity accept?
The 3 mL set holds 3 and 7 mL tubes (9 each), the 10 mL set holds 10/12/15 mL tubes (4 each), the 50 mL set holds two 50 mL tubes per bucket, and the 100 mL set holds one 100 mL tube per bucket.
Are the buckets sterile?
No. These buckets are supplied non-sterile and are intended as reusable rotor hardware rather than single-use consumables.
