SELECTION NOTE — LACE16AS ROTOR CONFIGURATION
LACE16AS benchtop high-speed centrifuge for verified tube formats
The LACE16AS benchtop high-speed centrifuge is a practical choice when a laboratory needs high RCF performance, touch control and a clearly defined rotor selection. The confirmed rotor range includes a 12-place rotor for 1.5 / 2 ml tubes, a 24-place rotor for 1.5 / 2 ml tubes, a 48-place rotor for 0.5 ml tubes and an 18-place rotor for 5 ml round-bottom tubes.
Rotor selection should begin with the actual tube geometry, nominal volume, cap design and the tube manufacturer’s maximum speed or RCF rating. The required throughput and target centrifugal force can then be matched to the appropriate NCP rotor. The published rotor compatibility is deliberately limited to the four records explicitly confirmed for product number PRO2803.
For procurement and method transfer, COLO can help confirm the centrifuge, rotor SKU, tube format, operating profile, balancing requirements and optional data export. Final compatibility and the exact delivery scope should be stated in the binding quotation.
LACE16AS high-speed performance with a composite rotor platform
NCP composite rotors for routine laboratory use
NCP composite construction combines low rotor mass with high strength, slower heat conduction and resistance to corrosion. These properties support convenient rotor handling and help reduce the thermal and chemical limitations associated with conventional metal rotor construction.
The representative PRO6938 rotor provides 18 × 5 ml round-bottom capacity at up to 15,000 rpm and 24,148 × g. Final operation must always respect the rated limits of the selected tubes and the laboratory SOP.

COLO.SCIENCE KNOWLEDGE AND SUPPORT
Rotor selection support for high-speed centrifugation
COLO.Science supports centrifuge selection by matching tube geometry, sample volume, target RCF, throughput, balancing requirements and the required operating profile.
How to select the correct LACE16AS rotor
Start with the tube rather than the centrifuge’s maximum speed. Confirm nominal volume, tube diameter, bottom geometry, cap design, actual fill volume and the tube manufacturer’s speed or RCF limit. Then compare the confirmed rotor capacity, maximum RCF and required throughput.
All rotor loads must be symmetrical and operated according to the laboratory SOP. For the PRO5462 configuration, the maximum permitted rotor speed remains an open item and should be confirmed in the final quotation before the method is approved.
