Adapter 75003785: Secure the Centrifugation of your b-Blood Collection Tubes
The Thermo Fisher Scientific 75003785 adapter has been developed to meet the specific requirements of medical centrifugation in hospitals and biology laboratories. It allows the secure insertion and retention of 5 to 7 ml (or 4.5 to 6 ml) blood collection tubes in the round baskets used with the TX-200 rotor. This adapter is fully compatible with the Sorvall ST 16 and ST 40 centrifuges, which are commonly used in clinical protocols for the separation of blood components.
Thanks to its precise dimensions (13 mm diameter and 122 mm length), the 75003785 model ensures firm and reliable insertion of the tube into the adapter without the need for additional adjustment. It offers a maximum capacity of 32 positions per rotor, allowing efficient processing of a large number of samples per cycle. This direct compatibility with swing-out rotors helps reduce unnecessary handling and ensures tube stability during the rapid acceleration and deceleration inherent in centrifugation.
When used in combination with ClickSeal® lids, this adapter system also helps to ensure a safe working environment thanks to certified biological containment. This feature is essential for laboratories handling hazardous samples or pathogens.
The 75003785 adapter also stands out for its robustness and compatibility with the mechanical stresses of the high rotational speeds achieved by the TX-200 rotor (up to 5500 rpm and 5580 x g). It therefore fits perfectly into intensive and repeated cycles without affecting the overall performance of the system.
This component plays an essential role in the reliability of the centrifugation protocol, ensuring both operator safety and optimal sample preservation. It is therefore an essential solution for high-throughput clinical environments seeking to combine operational efficiency with compliance with biosafety standards.
