GCC-P Series Centrifuge Tube Adaptors for 1.5/2.0 mL and 5 mL Tubes, 24/Pack
The Globe Scientific GCC-P Tube Adaptors let one rotor accommodate smaller tube formats without buying dedicated buckets, reducing wasted run capacity. Labs use these sleeves to spin microcentrifuge and 5 mL tubes in larger fixed-angle or swing-bucket positions, supporting sample prep, pelleting, and batch processing across diverse tube inventories.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which tube sizes do these adaptors fit?
GCC-P-ADP2-24 fits 1.5 mL and 2.0 mL microcentrifuge tubes, while GCC-P-ADP5-24 fits 5 mL tubes. Select by the tube format you run.
How many adaptors come in each pack?
Each pack contains 24 adaptors (24/ea). Pricing shown is per 24-piece pack.
Are these adaptors autoclavable?
The molded polymer construction tolerates routine cleaning. Confirm autoclave compatibility against your specific cycle and the polymer's temperature rating before sterilizing.
Will these adaptors fit my centrifuge rotor?
They reduce larger rotor positions to accept smaller tubes. Verify the cavity diameter and depth of your rotor or bucket against the adaptor outer dimensions before ordering.
