Description
Adapter for Eppendorf Tubes® 5,0 mL with snap cap is a dedicated centrifuge insert that holds one 5,0 mL snap-cap tube in rotors FA-45-6-30 and FA-6x50. It bridges the gap between standard microcentrifuge formats and larger conical vessels, letting users run Eppendorf Tubes® 5,0 mL in the same fixed-angle rotors already installed in many laboratories. Delivered as a set of two pieces, the adapter pair supports balanced loading or provides a ready spare. The design seats the snap-cap tube securely for reliable pelleting, phase separation and sample concentration steps common in molecular biology, biochemistry and clinical sample preparation. Net weight is only 0,038 kg (gross weight 0,042 kg), so the added mass remains negligible. Produced by Eppendorf, the adapter matches the tube geometry and rotor interfaces of the FA-45-6-30 and FA-6x50 systems. Typical uses include nucleic-acid workflows, protein work-up and small-scale culture processing where the 5,0 mL working volume offers a practical compromise between microtube and 15 mL conical formats. The dual pack keeps both rotor positions equipped without ordering multiple single units.
This article is part of Rotors, in Centrifuges.

Questions about Adapter 5ml Eppi for F-45-6-30 (2x)
What is this article?
Adapter 5ml Eppi for F-45-6-30 (2x) is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Eppendorf for laboratory use. It sits in Rotors, inside Centrifuges, in Lab instruments.
A centrifuge rotor is the rotating part that holds the tubes, and it is rated for a maximum speed and a maximum load. A swing-out rotor and a fixed-angle rotor pellet differently. A rotor from another centrifuge does not belong on this drive, even when it seems to fit.
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.
