4839: Clinical Compatibility and Supported Formats
The 4839 adapter has been designed to meet the diverse needs of medical, hospital and research laboratories. Its unique feature is its ability to accommodate three different tube formats: 12 ml (17 × 100 mm), 14 ml (16.5 × 106 mm) and 15 ml (17 × 120 mm). This versatility means it covers a wide range of consumables used daily in blood and urine analysis. Its multi-capacity feature allows users to reduce the number of accessories they need and optimise their equipment management. As a result, a single adapter can be used for several types of samples, greatly simplifying logistics and work processes. This flexibility is particularly useful in laboratories that receive a variety of samples and need to ensure continuity of service without wasting time or requiring additional equipment.
Consistent Performance for Reproducible Results
When used with the 5620-A basket and mounted on the 5699 swing-bucket rotor, the 4839 adapter guarantees a maximum RCF of 4,637 with a radius of 196 mm, regardless of the tube volume used. This consistent performance allows procedures to be standardised, reducing the risk of errors and making it easier to compare results between different types of tubes. Laboratories can therefore apply the same protocols for 12, 14 or 15 ml tubes and obtain reliable , reproducible separations. This consistency contributes to the reliability of medical analyses and promotes better traceability of results. In practice, this means that technicians do not need to recalculate or adjust their settings each time they change tube formats, improving both productivity and safety.
Practical Integration and Safety
The 4839 adapter is used with the 5621 lid, which ensures optimal biological containment and significantly reduces the risk of aerosolisation during centrifugation. This device is therefore ideal for environments where operator safety and contamination control are priorities. The adapter's robust design, combined with its 17 × 80 mm bore system, ensures stable and precise tube retention, even during full-capacity cycles. Its multi-format compatibility and ease of use make it an essential accessory for laboratories seeking to combine practicality, safety and efficiency. By integrating the 4839 into their daily routine, teams benefit from reliable equipment that can adapt to the evolving needs of medical analysis while ensuring compliance with the most stringent quality standards.
