Adapter Pack for Cryovials (0.5-2.0 mL) and 1.5/2.0 mL HPLC Vials, 4/pk

The C1005-AC2 is the rotor adapter pack for the C1005-T5 family, 4 adapters per pack at $62 ($15.50 per adapter). Adapters allow smaller-volume cryovials (0.5-2.0 mL) and HPLC vials (1.5/2.0 mL) to be placed in 5 mL-sized rotor positions for centrifugation workflows.

For full chemistry rationale, see the C1005-T5 Clear (C1005 family anchor) page.

Key Specifications

Why Rotor Adapters

Centrifuge rotor positions are sized for specific tube formats. Placing a smaller-OD tube in a larger-OD rotor position would let the tube shift / break / spill at high RCF. Rotor adapters bridge the OD gap: smaller vial sits inside the adapter, adapter fits the rotor position.

The C1005-AC2 supports two distinct vial formats in one adapter design:

• Cryovials (0.5-2.0 mL OD): sample-storage vials for cryogenic storage
• HPLC autosampler vials (1.5/2.0 mL): analytical chemistry sample vials

Both formats share similar OD ranges, enabling dual-compatibility in a single adapter design.

Pick the C1005-AC2 when:

• Workflow involves cryovial centrifugation in 5 mL-positioned rotors
• HPLC sample-prep requiring centrifugation of autosampler vials
• Multi-format centrifuge workflow. Same rotor supports 5 mL tubes + adapter-fit smaller vials
