Eppendorf Core R18C2 5721850261

The Eppendorf R18C2 is a continuous‑flow rotor designed for use with the Eppendorf CR30NX high‑speed centrifuge. It is intended for continuous‑flow or batch harvesting and separation of biomass (e.g., bacteria, cells, yeast) and small particles for workflows such as recombinant protein or antibody purification and large‑volume processing. In continuous‑flow mode it supports processing of large total volumes, while in batch configuration it accepts a nominal single‑vessel capacity of 1,000 mL.

Key Features:

• Maximum speed: 18,000 rpm
• Maximum RCF: 35,100 × g
• Rotor nominal capacity: 1,000 mL
• k‑factor: 443
• Weight: approximately 6.1 kg
• Designed for compatibility with the Eppendorf CR30NX; requires R18C2 seal unit for continuous‑flow operation or R18C2 batch unit for batch use

Advantages:

• Enables continuous‑flow harvesting to process very large total volumes (reduces repeated manual loading for high‑volume workflows)
• High maximum RCF (35,100 × g) provides efficient pelleting of small particles and biomass
• Convertible between continuous‑flow and batch modes via optional seal or batch units, giving workflow flexibility
• Moderate rotor weight (~6.1 kg) eases handling and installation compared with larger continuous‑flow rotors
