The Thermo Scientific HAEMAFlex 12 and HAEMAFlex 16 swing-out rotors are high-throughput windshielded swinging bucket rotors for the Cryofuge 16 blood bank centrifuge. Moreover, both rotors feature Eco-Spin technology for energy savings of up to 64 percent. In addition, these rotors reach RCF values of 7,187 x g and 5,374 x g respectively. As a result, you process large volumes of blood bags efficiently on one platform.
Furthermore, you choose between the HAEMAFlex 12 for 12 x 500 mL blood bags and the HAEMAFlex 16 for 16 x 500 mL. Therefore, your rotor adapts to your throughput needs without changing the bucket system. Moreover, you can later upgrade easily from the HAEMAFlex 12 to the HAEMAFlex 16 using the same buckets and adapters. Additionally, this flexibility offers a future-proof investment for growing blood banks.
In addition, both rotors support blood collection tubes and microplates via the Oval Bucket Rotor configuration. Subsequently, you process 312 or 416 blood collection tubes of 5/7 mL per run. Moreover, this configuration offers adapters for 10 mL blood tubes, conical tubes and microplates. As a result, you combine blood bank applications with clinical routine on the same centrifuge.
Finally, the windshielded design with Eco-Spin technology provides substantial energy savings. Therefore, these rotors consume up to 64 percent less energy than comparable non-windshielded rotors. As a result, you reduce not only operational costs but also the environmental impact of the high-throughput blood bank laboratory.

Moreover, both rotors work with the same bucket system. Therefore, you can upgrade easily from the HAEMAFlex 12 to the HAEMAFlex 16 without purchasing new buckets. In addition, choose the HAEMAFlex 12 for maximum speed and the HAEMAFlex 16 for maximum capacity.
Yes, both rotors support the Oval Bucket Rotor configuration (SKU 75003964) for tubes and microplates. Moreover, you process 312 blood tubes (HAEMAFlex 12) or 416 blood tubes (HAEMAFlex 16) of 5/7 mL per run. In addition, this configuration also offers adapters for 10 mL blood tubes, 15 mL and 50 mL conical tubes and microplates. As a result, you combine blood bank applications with clinical routine.
The Hook Adapter is a dedicated adapter for cord blood separation in the HAEMAFlex 12 and HAEMAFlex 16. Moreover, this adapter limits the maximum RCF to 1,328 x g for controlled cell component separation. In addition, two variants are available: for M size adapters (SKU 75003855) and for XXL size adapters (SKU 75003868). As a result, you process up to 12 or 16 cord blood units of 300 mL per run.
For the HAEMAFlex 12 and HAEMAFlex 16, four blood bag adapters are available in different sizes: XXL HD, XXL, XL and M. Moreover, each adapter differs in bag dimensions, ranging from 110 x 57 mm (M size) to 110 x 88 mm (XXL size). In addition, each adapter accommodates double or quint blood bags. As a result, you choose the adapter that matches your specific blood bag supplier and format.
For the HAEMAFlex 12, you order three sets of bucket and adapter (6 buckets total). Conversely, for the HAEMAFlex 16, you order four sets of bucket and adapter (8 buckets total). Moreover, all buckets and adapters are sold in sets of two. As a result, you configure the rotor based on your specific high-throughput blood bank application.
