Centrifuge rotor products support high-speed sample separation, pelleting, clarification, and tube processing across laboratory and scientific equipment workflows. John Morris Group supplies rotor options for Laboratory environments, including selected products from Sigma and Labfriend. These rotors assist with fixed-angle, swing-out, microtube, clinical, and high-capacity centrifugation applications.
Centrifuge Rotors
Centrifuge Rotor Options for Laboratory Sample Separation
Our curated collection of Centrifuge rotors supports controlled sample separation and processing in technical environments:
- Fixed-angle rotor workflows: Fixed-angle centrifuge rotors are commonly used for pelleting cells, bacteria, proteins, nucleic acids, and other suspended material where fast sedimentation is required.
- Swing-out and bucket rotor applications: Swing-out rotors support horizontal tube positioning during centrifugation, making them useful for density gradients, blood tubes, clinical samples, and clear layer separation.
- Compatibility-driven selection: Rotor choice must match the centrifuge model, tube type, maximum RPM, RCF rating, adapter requirements, lid configuration, and sample containment needs.
How to Choose the Right Centrifuge Rotors
Selecting the correct Centrifuge rotors for your facility requires evaluating several technical parameters:
- Rotor type: Choose fixed-angle, swing-out, vertical, microplate, or specialty rotor formats based on whether the workflow requires pelleting, clarification, gradient separation, or plate processing.
- Tube capacity and adapters: Confirm tube volume, tube shape, number of samples per run, bucket compatibility, and whether adapters are required for smaller tubes.
- Speed, RCF and radius: Review maximum RPM, maximum relative centrifugal force, and rotor radius to ensure the setup can meet the required separation method safely.
Complete Your Centrifugation Workflow
Comprehensive facility management relies on complementary equipment. To further optimise your workspace, explore these related categories:
- Centrifuge Buckets: Used with compatible swing-out rotors to hold tubes, plates, or adapters during clinical and laboratory centrifugation.
- Centrifuge Adapters: Allow smaller tubes or alternative vessels to fit safely within compatible rotors and buckets.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you clean a centrifuge rotor?
Clean a centrifuge rotor using a compatible mild detergent and soft cloth, then rinse and dry thoroughly before reuse. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or soaking unless the manufacturer permits it. Always inspect the rotor for corrosion, cracks, residue, and seal damage before running the centrifuge.
How do you measure centrifuge rotor radius?
Centrifuge rotor radius is usually measured from the centre of rotation to the bottom of the tube or sample position when the rotor is loaded. This radius is used with RPM to calculate RCF, so use the manufacturer’s rotor data where available for the most accurate value.
Can John Morris Group support procurement of centrifuge rotors?
Yes. John Morris Group can support B2B procurement for centrifuge rotors, buckets, adapters, lids, and related centrifuge accessories across Australian laboratories, universities, clinical facilities, and quality control sites.
