- Tube Capacity: 36 places for 0.5 mL microtubes.
- Maximum Speed: Up to 15,000 rpm.
- Maximum RCF: 21,380 × g.
- Material: High-strength aluminum alloy.
- Features:
- Bio-safe Sealing: Hermetically sealed with three rubber seals to prevent sample leakage and contamination.
- Fully Autoclavable: Can withstand steam sterilization at 121 degree Celcius for 20 minutes.
- Self-Aligning: Seated on a tapered shaft for stability at high speeds.
Compatible Adapters for AS36-05
While the rotor natively holds 0.5 mL tubes, adapters are available to reduce the capacity for smaller PCR tubes: [1]
- A02P05 Adapter (Cat. No. 19500003): Used with the AS36-05 rotor to accommodate 0.2 mL PCR tubes. These typically come in packs of 36.

Rotor Installation & Operation Highlights
- Self-Centering Seat: The rotor is designed to sit on a tapered shaft. It must be securely tightened with the central locking nut to prevent damage during high-speed operation.
- Lid Integrity: The rotor kit (SKU 19400071) includes a dedicated lid, fixing clips, and an O-ring. Ensure the lid is firmly tightened before every run to maintain the bio-safe hermetic seal.
- Operating Limits: While the rotor can reach 15,000 rpm, users should set speeds based on the lowest allowable limit of the tube or adapter being used.
