Description
Adapter 16 × 15 ml for round-bottom vessels is a centrifuge accessory that holds sixteen round-bottom tubes in the 7–17 ml range. It is intended for 500 ml rectangular buckets used in rotor A-4-81 and rotor S-4x500, enabling parallel processing of multiple samples in a single run. Supplied as a set of two pieces, the adapter supports routine laboratory workflows where consistent tube positioning and balanced loading are required. Designed for Eppendorf centrifuge systems, it fits the corresponding rectangular buckets so that 7–17 ml round-bottom vessels can be centrifuged safely and reproducibly. Typical applications include sample preparation, cell culture work-up, and general laboratory separations that rely on mid-volume round-bottom tubes. The compact pack of two adapters allows laboratories to equip both buckets of a swinging-bucket rotor or to keep a spare pair ready. Net weight is 0,450 kg per pack, with a gross weight of 0,500 kg and a packaging volume of 0,003 m³. This accessory belongs to the centrifuge accessories category and is suited to research, clinical, and industrial labs that already operate the compatible Eppendorf rotors and 500 ml rectangular buckets.
This article is part of Rotor adapters & accessories, in Centrifuges.

Questions about Adapter 16x15ml verpackt (2x)
What is this article?
Adapter 16x15ml verpackt (2x) is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Eppendorf 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.
