Because this rotor is engineered for high-speed centrifugation (often exceeding 13,000 RPM), it relies on a sophisticated sealing system to maintain biocontainment and prevent aerosolization of samples during a run. This kit contains the precision-engineered elastomeric seals - including the primary lid O-ring and the smaller central post O-ring -required to ensure the rotor remains vacuum-tight and leak-proof.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver time, these O-rings can undergo \"compression set\" or develop microscopic cracks due to repeated exposure to centrifugal stress, temperature fluctuations, and chemical vapors from solvents or disinfectants. A compromised O-ring not only risks sample loss but can also lead to a loss of vacuum in the centrifuge chamber, which causes the motor to work harder and may lead to an over-temperature error. This kit allows lab technicians to perform routine preventative maintenance by replacing worn seals, thereby ensuring the rotor meets its original safety and performance specifications. The O-rings are typically manufactured from a chemical-resistant synthetic rubber, such as EPDM or Viton, to withstand the harsh environment of a high-speed centrifuge.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Thermo Scientific","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48664013504764,"sku":"10235","price":47.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8463\/5132\/files\/thermo-scientific-centrifuge-lid-o-ring-kit-centrifuge-rotors-buckets-thermo-scientific-789846.jpg?v=1768167915","url":"https:\/\/lifesciencestrading.com\/es\/products\/thermo-scientific-centrifuge-lid-o-ring-kit","provider":"Life Sciences Trading","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
