Beckman Coulter Centrifuge Rotor Adapter for 50ml Tubes - Set of 2

Beckman Coulter 359476 Centrifuge Rotor Adapter (4-Place, 136 mm Depth)

The Beckman Coulter 359476 is a precision-engineered rotor adapter designed to facilitate the centrifugation of multiple small-volume tubes within a single high-capacity bucket. This 4-place adapter is specifically crafted to accommodate tubes up to 136 mm in length, providing critical lateral support to prevent tube wall collapse under high G-forces. Manufactured from high-density, chemically resistant materials, the 359476 ensures a perfect fit within Beckman Coulter's swing-out rotor systems, such as the SX4750 and SX4750A. By allowing for the parallel processing of four tubes per adapter, this accessory significantly increases laboratory throughput for routine sample preparation, cell pelleting, and density gradient separations.

Technical Performance and Design

• Optimized 4-Place Configuration: Maximizes rotor capacity by allowing four individual tubes to be processed in a single bucket position, ensuring balanced and efficient runs.

• Enhanced Tube Support: The 136 mm deep cavities provide full-length support for long-format tubes, distributing centrifugal forces evenly to maintain tube integrity at maximum rated speeds.

• High-Density Construction: Built from a durable, non-corrosive polymer designed to withstand the stresses of high RPMs while offering excellent resistance to common laboratory solvents and reagents.

• Precision Centering: Engineered with tight tolerances to ensure that the tubes are perfectly centered within the rotor bucket, minimizing vibration and extending the operational life of the centrifuge drive system.

Product Specifications

Key Benefits & Applications

• Increased Lab Throughput: Ideal for clinical and research labs processing high volumes of blood, urine, or cell culture samples in standard 10mL to 15mL tubes.

• Versatile Sample Handling: Accommodates various tube types, including round-bottom glass and conical-bottom plastic tubes (when used with appropriate conical cushions, if required).

• Safety & Stability: Reduces the risk of sample loss by preventing tube breakage, which is common when tubes are improperly supported in over-sized buckets.

• Easy Maintenance: The smooth, non-porous finish allows for rapid decontamination and cleaning, ensuring compliance with biosafety protocols.
