Are there any other rotors available with this unit? Do you sell Eppendorf rotors separately?

We generally try to pair centrifuges with rotors for sale. Occasionally we have rotors available separately, but we do not break up centrifuge and rotor combinations that have already been tested together. We recognize that rotors can be difficult to source and are often in demand. Please contact our sales team if you need assistance locating a specific Eppendorf rotor for your application.

My Eppendorf 5810R is displaying a refrigeration fault. Can you repair it?

Yes. AIE Laboratory Services repairs refrigeration systems, controllers, motors, lid-lock assemblies, and other components on many Eppendorf centrifuges. Both depot repair and field service options may be available depending on your location and the nature of the issue.

Can American Instrument Exchange service Eppendorf 5810R centrifuges?

Yes. AIE Laboratory Services provides repair, diagnostics, preventive maintenance, and support for many Eppendorf centrifuge systems, including the 5810R platform.

What is the A-4-62 rotor used for?

The A-4-62 swing-bucket rotor is designed for medium-speed centrifugation of larger tubes, bottles, and plates. It can accommodate vessels from 0.2 mL microtubes up to 250 mL bottles, making it ideal for cell culture work, blood tubes, and general laboratory processing. The Eppendorf 5810R and A-4-62 rotor combination is commonly used for:

  • 15 mL and 50 mL conical tubes
  • Blood collection tubes
