The DLAB A8-50 is a fixed-angle rotor primarily designed for the D1536 series (including D1536 and D1536R) and DM0636 centrifuges. It features a dual-capacity design that supports both 50mL and 15mL tubes using specific adapters.
A8-50 Rotor Specifications
- Capacity: 8 x 50mL or 16 x 15mL tubes.
- Max Speed: 5,000 rpm.
- Max RCF: 3,460 xg (when used with D1536 series) or up to 3,960 xg on other models like the DM0636.
- Material: High-strength aluminum body with stainless steel tube adapters.
- Biosealing: Yes, it is bio-safe for containing hazardous samples.
Compatible Adapters []
The A8-50 rotor often comes with default adapters to accommodate different tube sizes:
- 50mL Adapter: Typically the SE100P31x8 for standard 50mL round-bottom or conical tubes.
- 15mL Adapter: Typically the SE100P17x16 (or SE100P17x6
Safety & Maintenance
- Biosealing: The rotor is certified bio-safe, meaning it has a sealing lid that prevents aerosol leakage in case of tube breakage—critical for hazardous or infectious samples.
- Material: Constructed from high-strength aluminum with a protective coating to resist corrosion from common lab chemicals.
- Sterilization: The rotor body and stainless steel adapters are typically autoclavable (121°C for 20 minutes).
