Adapter 17027 for Medical Tubes – Optimising Laboratory Sampling
The 17027 adapter integrates into medical centrifugation processes, ensuring optimal support for standard sampling tubes. Designed to work exclusively with Sigma 13104 round buckets, it is perfectly suited to Sigma 3-16L and Sigma 3-16KL centrifuges used in healthcare facilities. The specific dimensions supported are 13.8 mm in diameter and 57 mm in length, a very common format for polypropylene tubes used in routine analyses.
With a capacity of 7 tubes per adapter and up to 28 tubes per rotor, the 17027 model allows for efficient processing of large volumes of biological samples. This performance is particularly useful for facilities with a continuous flow of samples to be analysed, such as hospital laboratories or screening centres.
With a calibrated centrifugation radius of 152 mm, this adapter ensures even distribution of centrifugal forces, preventing imbalances that could compromise the quality of results or the integrity of samples. The use of materials compatible with PP (polypropylene) tubes also guarantees good chemical resistance, which is essential in environments where biological agents or reagents vary.
This model is part of Sigma's range of highly compatible accessories, providing a reliable tool for critical plasma separation, cell sedimentation or urine analysis tasks. It helps to enhance the accuracy of protocols while ensuring safe handling.
