Fiberlite® Carbon Fiber Rotors An advanced alternative to metal rotors, offering superior durability, high-performance, and higher level of safety for worry-free operation spin after spin.
• Fatigue resistant – Carbon fiber provides unequalled structural integrity, eliminating the need to derate or limit the speed over the rotor lifespan
• Non-corrosive – Protects against ever-present hazard due to moisture, chemicals, alkaline solutions or other salts in the laboratory
• Lightweight and easy to handle, improving ergonomics for a safer work environment and minimizing the risk of damage to centrifuge equipment
• Repairable in the unlikely event of a mishap
• Superior insulation – Naturally insulating properties, carbon fiber ensures samples are kept at a constant temperature
• Secure investment backed by an unmatched 15-year warranty
4
