Description
Adapter 20 × 2 ml is a centrifuge tube adapter for holding twenty 1,5/2,0 mL reaction vessels in 500 mL rectangular buckets. It is designed for rotor A-4-81 and rotor S-4x500, enabling high-throughput microcentrifuge-tube processing on these swing-bucket platforms. Supplied as a set of 2 pieces, the adapters seat securely in the rectangular buckets so laboratories can run standard 1,5 mL and 2,0 mL tubes alongside other bucket formats in the same rotor family. The accessory belongs to the centrifuge accessories range and supports routine molecular biology, sample prep and aliquot workflows that rely on reaction vessels. From manufacturer Eppendorf, the pair is specified with a net weight of 0,317 kg, a gross weight of 0,352 kg and a packaging volume of 0,003 m³. Country of origin is Germany (Saxony), and dual-use classification is stated as no. These adapters extend the utility of the A-4-81 and S-4x500 rotors when 500 mL rectangular buckets must be configured for twenty-tube loads of 1,5/2,0 mL vessels.
This article is part of Rotor adapters & accessories, in Centrifuges.

Questions about Adapter 20x2ml, 2 pcs.
What is this article?
Adapter 20x2ml, 2 pcs. 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.
