The JA-17 rotor is a high-performance fixed-angle rotor designed for use with Beckman Coulter J2, J6, and Avanti® J Series centrifuges. It is ideal for a variety of centrifugation applications, including pelleting cells, subcellular particles, and cell membranes.

Our sparingly used JA-17 rotor assembly (DATE OF MFG. 06/22), is available at a bargain price with our Beckman Coulter Avanti JXN-30 Centrifuge. This package deal is a great value for researchers and biotech startups.

Salient Features of the JA-17 Fixed-Angle Rotor

Key Specifications:

• Maximum Speed: 17,000 RPM

• Maximum Relative Centrifugal Force (RCF): 39,800 × g (at maximum radius)

• Rotor Capacity: 14 tubes, each with a maximum capacity of 50 mL

• Rotor Angle: 25 degrees

• Maximum Sample Density: 1.2 g/mL

• Material: Anodized aluminum for corrosion resistance

• O-rings: Made of Buna N rubber, providing atmospheric pressure sealing during centrifugation

 Design and Features:

• Efficient Design: Capable of processing up to 700 mL per run, making it suitable for isolating and banding different classes of subcellular organelles.

• Durability: Constructed from anodized aluminum, the JA-17 rotor is designed for long-term use, with a 7-year warranty.

• Compatibility: Can be used with a wide range of tube types, including polycarbonate, polyallomer, and polypropylene tubes.

• Safety: Incorporates O-rings and a containment system that has been validated for microbiological aerosol containment, ensuring safe operation even with hazardous materials.

• Ease of Use: The rotor features embedded magnets for easy identification and can be securely fastened using a turn-knob lid.

 Maintenance and Care:

• Lubrication: Requires regular lubrication of metal threads and O-rings to prevent wear and maintain sealing integrity.

• Cleaning: Wash the rotor immediately after exposure to corrosive materials and periodically under normal conditions to prevent residue buildup.

• Decontamination: Can be decontaminated using tested solutions such as RadCon Surface Spray, with no damage to the anodized surfaces.

 The JA-17 rotor is a reliable choice for high-speed centrifugation, offering consistent performance and longevity with proper maintenance.
