5920748009: Medical Compatibility with 50 mL Conical Tubes
The Eppendorf 5920748009 adapter is designed to accommodate 50 mL conical tubes with skirts, also known as Falcon tubes, which are particularly used in clinical and biological applications. This model works with the S-4xUniversal-Large rotor, making the set compatible with the Eppendorf 5920 R centrifuge. It therefore allows this type of tube to be integrated into rigorous protocols for the preparation, separation or processing of medical samples.
The adapter supports tubes with a maximum diameter of 30 mm and a chamber height of up to 141 mm (and 121 mm with a lid). This standardised format allows direct integration into medical centrifugation cycles without the need for additional adaptation, while ensuring optimum safety for the tubes and their contents.
Stability and Safety for Biomedical Environments
Designed for demanding environments such as hospital laboratories or biomedical research units, this adapter guarantees stability throughout the centrifugation phase. With a radius of 197 mm and a maximum relative centrifugal force of 3,978 × g, it ensures efficient and reproducible separation of biological components.
Its conical shape is specifically adapted to standard conical tube formats, optimising centring and reducing the risk of imbalance, a key factor in the handling of sensitive samples. It is particularly recommended for blood analysis, cell or DNA preparation, or biochemical extractions requiring precision and reliability.
A Configuration Suitable for Processing Multiple Samples
The 5920748009 adapter fits into a configuration of 7 chambers for 28 adapters per rotor, allowing several samples to be processed simultaneously in a single cycle. This makes it ideal for medical facilities seeking to optimise analysis throughput while maintaining consistent processing quality.
This ability to work in series while complying with medical safety requirements makes it a valuable tool in standard clinical centrifugation protocols. It helps to make the entire separation process more reliable by ensuring that the tubes are held securely in the rotor, even at high speeds.
