Beckman AA24 AccuSpin Fixed Angle Centrifuge Rotor

Description

Beckman AA24 AccuSpin Centrifuge Rotor
For sale- a Beckman AA 24 Centrifuge Rotor.
Clearly this rotor has 24 slots, but I am not certain of the volume.
Based on a reference for some Waters filter I would say maybe 15ml, but I would urge you to do your own homework if you need to spin tubes that large.
I see it mentioned in the limited number of references I found to fitting Beckman AccuSpin centrifuges, possibly just the FR version but it seems kind of silly that it would only work in the refrigerated model.
So again I would urge you to do your own homework before you buy.
The body of the rotor itself is in very good condition as I think you can see.
It won’t pass for new but why would it need to?
The lid for the rotor is less attractive, it looks like maybe it was partially submerged in a liquid with mild corrosive qualities as on about 2/3 of the lid surface inside and out the blue anodized finish looks kind of funky.
On the other 1/3 of the surface inside and out it looks fine.
The other thing about the lid that I find puzzling is that it doesn’t offer any means of locking to the rotor itself.
I have seen a number of other centrifuge rotors where the cap didn’t screw on but they are definitely in the minority.
And this one has threads in the center, rusty as you can see.
If they don’t thread down onto something then what are they there for?
So I thought maybe the bolt in the middle of the rotor used to attach it to the centrifuge wasn’t the original, but just some generic bolt.
So I pulled it out and as you can see there is nothing generic about the enlarged threads.
So maybe the cap just fits down over the circular hub of the rotor and doesn’t need any further attachment.
The head of the rotor bolt fits up into the knob on the cap, which would allow you to tighten it without having another tool for the job.
So maybe I am just looking for an issue where there is none.
I just thought it needed to be pointed out.
May be fine that way or maybe you another piece of missing hardware.
Maybe you just end up using the rotor without the cap.
Again, please examine the pictures closely and do your own homework.
