Centrifuge 5910 R - Simplify Your DNA Extraction with Universal Adapters

True “All-Rounders” In The Laboratory: Multipurpose

It's essential to distinguish between microcentrifuges and multipurpose centrifuges. While microcentrifuges are for small-scale applications, multipurpose centrifuges offer broader capabilities. They can centrifuge not only small sample volumes and a limited variety of vessels, but an increased volume range and different vessels like centrifuge tubes , plates and even bottles.

This versatility is the significant benefit of Eppendorf's multipurpose centrifuges and underlines their ability to accommodate different applications. Whether you are involved in molecular biology, cell culture, or protein purification, our centrifuges provide reliable and efficient performance.
Eppendorf has a rich history in developing multipurpose centrifuges. For over 70 years, we have been at the forefront of innovation, continuously enhancing our technology to meet the evolving needs of the scientific community.

Choosing the Right Multipurpose Centrifuge for Your Needs

Selecting a multipurpose centrifuge involves considering several factors. Working in a research laboratory, clinical setting, or industrial environment determines important requirements for choosing the perfect multipurpose centrifuge and can significantly enhance your workflow and productivity.

Key Factors to consider when selecting a Multipurpose Centrifuge

The most important factors for selecting a multipurpose centrifuge: Capacity and speed requirements. Will you be working with small sample volumes or larger quantities? Do you need high-speed centrifugation, or is a lower speed sufficient for your needs?

Versatility: Utilize Fixed-Angle and Swing Bucket Centrifuge Rotors

When choosing a multipurpose centrifuge, it is important to understand the differences between fixed-angle and swing bucket rotors . In swing-bucket centrifuge rotors, the buckets holding the samples swing out to a horizontal position during centrifugation, allowing particles to sediment along the bottom of the tube. Due to the longer pathway this horizontal separation is particularly effective for density gradient centrifugation, where precise separation of components is required. In contrast, fixed-angle centrifuge rotors hold the tubes at a constant angle, typically 25-40 degrees, causing particles to sediment along the side and bottom of the tube. As a result of the rigid design, fixed-angle rotors can withstand much higher gravitational forces. Therefore, they are often used for pelleting applications at high speeds. Both types therefore have their own advantages and are suitable for different applications.

Depending on your specific lab requirements you may need to switch between these rotor types and rely on fast changes of vessel formats. The ability to quickly change the centrifuge setup allows greater flexibility and adaptability. Most of the Eppendorf multipurpose centrifuges are flexible per design. Experience the Eppendorf QuickLock^® ecosystem that makes these repetitive tasks quick, easy, and also reduces ergonomic stress.
Thanks to the modular adapters for some of our swing bucket centrifuge rotors, labs can utilize the same centrifuge as a plate centrifuge, (e.g. a 96-well plate centrifuge) or a centrifuge for tubes. Using the same device also as centrifuge for plates and tubes ensures efficient processing of multiple samples simultaneously.
The unique design of our centrifuge buckets (including 96-well plate centrifuge options) allow optimal sample separation and minimal cross-contamination. Eppendorf's swing bucket centrifuge rotors which include 96-well plate centrifuge options and fixed-angle rotors are engineered to provide consistent, high-quality results, making them essential tools for any laboratory.
