0.5 mL Microtube Adapter Pack (6/pk)

The C1008-A5-6 is a 0.5 mL microtube adapter that drops into the 1.5 / 2.0 mL microtube position on multiple Hermle high-speed microtube rotors — sold as a 6-pack. Cross-chassis compatibility: the same adapter geometry serves Z207-M, Z216-M, Z287-A, Z326, and Z366 family microtube rotors. Useful when 0.5 mL microtube workflows (Eppendorf-style smaller microtubes) need centrifugation on a standard 1.5 / 2.0 mL rotor.

Key Specifications

Application Profile

0.5 mL microtube workflows on standard microtube rotors — when the workflow uses 0.5 mL Eppendorf-style microtubes (sub-microvolume DNA / RNA prep, small-volume aliquot prep, micro-protein workflows) and the lab's primary chassis is configured with a standard 1.5 / 2.0 mL microtube rotor.

Mixed-format runs — when some positions need 1.5 / 2.0 mL microtubes and others need 0.5 mL microtubes within the same cycle (with adapter symmetry preserved across paired positions).

Cross-chassis core-facility consolidation — shared cores running mixed-chassis fleets benefit from a single C1008-A5-6 adapter SKU that serves any standard microtube rotor across the fleet.

Ordering & Configuration

Symmetric adapter loading. Pair adapter positions across the rotor by tube mass.

C1008-A5-6 ships as 6 adapters. 0.5 mL microtubes are operator-supplied (commodity 0.5 mL microtube formats from major commercial suppliers).

Confirm at quote: host rotor (which microtube rotor will use the adapter), chassis pairing (Z207, Z216, Z287, Z326, Z366 family), tube format (0.5 mL Eppendorf-style), pack count needed, and lead time.

Warranty: 5-Year Hermle warranty (3 years full + 2 years drivetrain) on the adapters.

C1008 PCR / 0.5 mL adapter pair (cross-chassis):

- C1008-A5-6 (this product) — 0.5 mL Eppendorf-style microtube adapter

- C1008-A2-6 — 0.4 / 0.2 mL PCR tube adapter

Match the adapter to the workflow's smaller-tube format. Both adapters share the 1.5 / 2.0 mL host position envelope and are cross-chassis compatible.
