Beckman Coulter TLA 110 – 110K RPM Centrifuge Fixed Rotor

Beckman Coulter TLA-110 rotors are manufactured in a facility that maintains certifications to both
ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 13485:2003. They are for use with the specified Beckman Coulter centrifuges.
The TLA-110 fixed-angle rotor has a tube angle of 28 degrees from the axis of rotation. The rotor can
centrifuge up to eight tubes.

The rotor is made of titanium and is finished with black polyurethane paint. The lid is made of
aluminum and anodized to resist corrosion. A plunger in the lid locks the rotor to the drive hub
before beginning the run, and two lubricated O-rings made of Buna-N rubber maintain atmospheric
pressure inside the rotor during centrifugation. The tube cavities are numbered to aid in sample
identification.
The rotor is specially designed with a fluid-containment annulus located below the O-ring sealing
surface. The annulus retains fluid that may escape from leaking or overfilled tubes, thereby
preventing the liquid from escaping into the instrument chamber.
The ultracentrifuge identifies rotor speed during the run by means of a magnetic speed sensor in
the instrument chamber and magnets on the bottom of the rotor. This overspeed protection system
ensures that the rotor does not exceed its maximum permitted speed.
