Description
Adapter for 1 × 16 ml tubes with 18 mm diameter is a dedicated centrifuge accessory that holds a single 16 ml tube securely during high-speed runs. Supplied as a pack of two, the set supports balanced loading of opposing rotor positions and helps maintain tube alignment under centrifugal force. Net weight is 0,083 kg and gross weight 0,22 kg; packaging measures 0,21 m depth, 0,18 m width and 0,09 m height with a volume of 0,003 m³. This centrifuge accessory from manufacturer Ohaus is intended for routine sample preparation in research, clinical and industrial laboratories where 16 ml vessels of 18 mm diameter are used. The compact form factor fits standard rotors and simplifies change-over between tube formats. Country of origin is Germany. Designed purely as a mechanical tube holder, the adapter contributes to stable, reproducible centrifugation without electronic components or displays. Ideal for workflows that require reliable support of 16 ml tubes while preserving rotor balance and sample integrity throughout the run.
This article is part of Rotor adapters & accessories, in Centrifuges.

Questions about Adapter 1x16ml D18mm 2/pk
What is this article?
Adapter 1x16ml D18mm 2/pk is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Ohaus for laboratory use. It sits in Rotor adapters & accessories, inside Centrifuges, in Lab instruments.
An adapter lets a rotor spun for large tubes accept smaller ones. The adapter has to be the one for that rotor, and the tubes have to be supported at the shoulder the adapter was designed for. A stack of the wrong inserts is an unbalanced load.
A centrifuge separates by density. The rotor spins the sample and the force is reported as a multiple of gravity, not as a raw speed, because the same revolutions per minute are a different force at a different radius. A microcentrifuge takes small tubes. A benchtop or floor model takes larger rotors. The tube, the adapter and the rotor have to be the combination the manufacturer rated. An unbalanced load is how centrifuges fail. Measurement of the related quantities sits with the BIPM.
