Eppendorf Rotor Seal Ring CAUME Rubber for 5424/5424R

Description

Product Overview

The CAUME airtight rubber seal ring is engineered for the Eppendorf 5424 and 5424R centrifuge rotors. It is constructed from high‑grade, food‑safe rubber that resists chemicals, temperature fluctuations, and repeated compression cycles. The ring provides a secure, leak‑free seal that protects both the sample and the instrument from contamination. Dimensions are precisely matched to the rotor groove, ensuring a snug fit without the need for additional tools. The material composition offers excellent elasticity, allowing the ring to maintain its shape over thousands of spin cycles. This product meets ISO 13485 standards for laboratory equipment accessories, guaranteeing consistent performance in demanding research environments. The seal ring is lightweight, easy to handle, and can be installed in seconds, reducing downtime during routine maintenance. Its design eliminates the risk of rotor imbalance caused by improper sealing, thereby extending the service life of the centrifuge. The product is supplied in a single‑piece configuration, ready for immediate use in any qualified laboratory setting.

Usage

Designed for use in molecular biology, biochemistry, and clinical laboratories, this seal ring fits seamlessly into the rotor chamber of Eppendorf 5424 and 5424R models. It is ideal for applications ranging from DNA extraction to protein precipitation, where a reliable seal is critical to prevent sample loss. The ring can be employed in both high‑speed and ultra‑high‑speed protocols, supporting speeds up to 20,000 rpm without compromising integrity. Users should inspect the rotor groove for debris before installation, then gently press the rubber ring into place until it seats fully. No adhesives or additional hardware are required. The seal ring is compatible with a variety of tube types, including microcentrifuge tubes, PCR tubes, and specialty containers. Routine cleaning with mild detergent and water is sufficient; the material tolerates occasional exposure to organic solvents such as ethanol and isopropanol. For best results, replace the seal ring after 500–1,000 spin cycles or when visual wear is observed.
