Silicone vacuum grease (1 oz)
Reference : BEC-335148

This vacuum grease is for o-ring lubrification. Lubrification will protect the o-ring and maintain efficiency of the closure systems.

Silicon vacuum grease is used on the O-rings of centrifuges and ultracentrifuges to:

  1. Prevent Sample Spillage and contamination: 
    The grease helps maintain a tight seal, preventing any sample from leaking out and ensuring no contaminants enter the system.
  2. Maintain Vacuum: 
    In devices like ultracentrifuges that operate under vacuum, the grease helps maintain the vacuum conditions by preventing air leaks into the centrifuge vessel. This is crucial for the proper functioning of these machines.

What are the critical factors to consider when choosing a Rotor ?

Pick the right centrifuge Rotor and include in your consideration the speed, the capacity and the throughput.

Rotor Angle (Rotor/Tube): Fixed-angle versus Swinging-bucket rotors

Fixed-angle rotors with angles between 20 and 30 degrees are generally designed to give access to higher g force. The result is then a higher efficiency in the separation, but the pellet can be more difficult to recover.

Swinging-bucket rotors with angles of 90 degrees will generate limited maximum g force. This kind of rotor offer predictable pellet location, but lower efficiency. Versatility of the rotor can be improved by the use of adaptors.


Centrifuge Rotor Angle Tube g-force efficiency performance pellet harvest fixed-angle swing-out swinging-bucket

Centrifuge Rotor Speed

Speed ​is critical for ensuring optimal pellet density, cell integrity, and run times.

Consider the speeds required for all planned applications, and balance between g-force and centrifugation run time.

Rotor speed g-force centrifugation time Cell integrity pellet density

Centrifuge Rotor Capacity and Throughput

Choose a rotor that affords the best balance between number of positions (samples) and the nominal capacity.

If you are working with large volumes (e.g., more than 6 Liters), consider k-factor and scaling out.

Centrifuge Rotor Capacity and Throughput

What is k-factor ? Spin more efficiently

K-factor represents the pelleting efficiency of a centrifugation system. The smaller the number, the more efficient the run.

Compare rotor efficiencies with "k-factor". 

Most researchers refer to the maximum speed of a rotor to compare efficiency. This can be misleading as factors such as tube geometry and temperature contribute to rotor performance and must also be considered.

Separation is affected by maximum speed and radius which together throughput determine maximum g-force. However, particle pathlength also affects separation time. A simple measure of overall rotor efficiency incorporating both g-force and particle pathlength is the k Factor. Generally, the lower the k Factor, the shorter the run time. This makes the k-Factor one of the most important considerations when selecting a rotor.
