The A24-2P is a high-strength plastic tube rotor kit for the DLAB DM1424 Hematocrit Centrifuge. While the rotor itself is designed for 1.5mL and 2mL tubes, it requires specific rotor adapters to accommodate smaller tube sizes like 0.2mL or 0.5mL.
Available Rotor Adapters for A24-2P
The following adapters can be used with the A24-2P rotor to increase its versatility:
- A02P2: This adapter allows you to use 0.2mL tubes in the 2mL rotor. It is typically sold in packs of 24.
- A05P2: This adapter allows you to use 0.5mL tubes in the 2mL rotor. It is also commonly sold as a 24-piece pack.
- A02P05: A specialized adapter listed for use with these models for smaller volume requirements.
Key Specifications of the A24-2P Rotor Kit
- Capacity: 24 tubes (standard 1.5mL/2.0mL).
- Maximum Speed: 14,000 rpm.
- Maximum RCF: 18,620 x g.
- Material: High-strength plastic.
- Primary Use: Ideal for the extraction of DNA and RNA when used with the DM1424 centrifuge.
Detailed Adapter Specifications
The adapters are essential for downsizing the standard 2.0mL tube wells to accommodate smaller microcentrifuge tubes.

| A02P05 | 19500003 | Special use | — | A24-2P (as listed in technical catalogs) |
Maintenance & Safety Requirements
- Loading Protocol: Always load adapters and tubes in a symmetrically balanced fashion. If using an odd number of samples, a “balance tube” with an equal volume of water must be placed directly opposite the sample.
- Lid Integrity: The rotor must always be run with its lid firmly tightened. The DM1424 has a door interlock safety feature that prevents operation if the lid or door is not properly secured.
- Material Care: The A24-2P is made of high-strength plastic. While durable, it should be regularly inspected for corrosion or cracks. For high-temperature sterilization, check specific manufacturer lot notes, as some plastic rotors have limited autoclaving cycles compared to aluminum versions.
