Tube Holder and Cap Selection
Order either the MagnaBase (105-9XX) tube holders from the list below by finding the match for your
centrifuge rotor. The 6-place swinging bucket tube holders are supplied with 6 plastic caps for either
rate zonal (suffix -R) or isopycnic (-I) gradients (e.g. 105-925-R for the MagnaBase SW28 holder and a
set of 6 rate zonal caps). The rate zonal caps leave 4 mm above the finished gradient for sample while
the isopycnic caps leave 10 mm. If both long and short caps are needed, use the suffix -IR ((e.g. 105-
925-IR). The 8-place vertical tube holders may also be used for swinging bucket tubes with the same
diameter and vice versa. Prices for the vertical tube holders do not include caps, which must be
ordered separately if you plan to use an 8-place holder for both types of rotors (see below).
