Universal adapter – Instructions for use
This document is a supplement to the operating manual of the centrifuge and
not a replacement for it. Therefore, please also read the operating manual before
starting up the rotors for the first time. You can find the current version on the

1 Product description
The Universal adapter is destined for the centrifugation of the Eppendorf Tubes
5.0 mL in the following 15 mL adapters:
• 15 mL adapter for 7x50 mL bucket for rotor A-4-81 (5820 718.005)
• 15 mL adapter for rotor FA-45-6-30 (5820 717.009)
• 15 mL adapter for rotor F-34-6-38 (5804 776.003)
• 15 mL adapter for rotor S-4-104 (5825 734.009)
• 15 mL adapter for rotor S-4-72 (5804 783.000)
• 15 mL adapter for rotor A-4-38 (5702 723.002)
• 15 mL adapter for rotor A-4-38 (5702 732.001)
Due to the high g-forces in the FA-45-6-30 rotor the Universal adapter
must be used for centrifuging the Eppendorf Tubes 5.0 mL. Otherwise
there is the risk that the tubes slip into the bores.
In all other cases the use of the Universal adapter is optional.
