The DLAB A30-15 is a fixed-angle rotor primarily designed for use with the DM0636 series of multi-purpose centrifuges. While the D1536 series (such as the D1536 and D1536R) is also a multi-purpose line compatible with various rotors, the A30-15 is most commonly listed as a standard accessory for the DM0636.

Compatible Adapters & Accessories
The A30-15 rotor typically comes with or supports several adapter types to accommodate different tube sizes:
- Standard Adapters: Often includes the SE100P17x30 set by default.
- Specialty Adapters:
- 3mL Adapter Plug: P/N 19400081, sold in packs of 10 for smaller sample volumes.
- Tube Support: Designed for round-bottom 15mL tubes.
Series Compatibility Note
While you mentioned the D1536 series, manufacturer documentation frequently groups the A30-15 specifically with the DM0636. For the D1536/D1536R, dedicated high-speed rotors like the AS30-2 (2mL × 30) or AS6-50V, dedicated high-speed rotors like the AS30-2 (2mL × 30) or AS6-50V (50mL × 6) are often the primary.
Detailed Adapter Compatibility
The A30-15 uses stainless steel adapters to secure different tube sizes. Depending on your laboratory’s needs, you can use the following specific adapters:
- 15mL Standard Tubes: The rotor comes default with SE100P17x30 adapters, which accommodate 15mL round-bottom or conical tubes with a maximum diameter of 17mm.
- 3mL – 7mL Blood Collection Tubes: Requires the 19400081 adapter plug (sold in 10-packs) to provide proper support for shorter, narrower tubes like vacuum blood tubes.
- 5.0mL Universal Tubes: Specialized universal adapters can be inserted into the 15mL bores to stabilize 5mL tubes.
- 10mL/12mL Urine Tubes: Supported via the standard stainless steel adapters, provided the tube diameter does not exceed 17mm.
