Thermo Centrifuge Tube Adapter 50ml to 15ml (18 x 100 mm) 4 Adapters

The Thermo 00382 Centrifuge Tube Adapter is a specialized accessory designed to allow for the centrifugation of 15 ml tubes within the larger buckets of a rotor made for 50 ml tubes. This adapter is engineered to fit 15 ml tubes that measure 18 mm in diameter and 100 mm in length, ensuring they are held securely and properly balanced during high-speed spinning.

This adapter is compatible with several Sorvall rotors, including the HL-4, HL-8, A-500, SS-34, and SA-600. Centrifuge rotor adapters are crucial for maximizing the versatility of a centrifuge, as they enable users to process diverse sample volumes efficiently without needing separate rotors for every tube size. The adapter typically sits inside the larger 50 ml rotor bucket, ensuring the smaller 15 ml tube is centered and stable.

The Thermo 00382 adapter is an essential component for laboratories that utilize these Sorvall rotors, providing proper tube support for smaller tubes, which contributes to accurate separation and safe operation.
