Tube Adaptors for 1.5/2.0 mL & 5 mL Tubes, Polypropylene, 6 per Pack
The Globe Scientific GCC-P Tube Adaptors let one rotor or rack accommodate multiple tube formats without dedicated inserts. Designed for centrifuge spins, sample storage racks, and benchtop tube handling, these polypropylene sleeves seat smaller tubes securely inside larger wells. Each pack supports flexible throughput across mixed-format workflows.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which tubes fit the 2.0 mL adaptor?
The GCC-P-ADP2 adaptor accommodates standard 1.5 mL and 2.0 mL microcentrifuge tubes, seating them in larger rotor or rack positions.
Are these adaptors autoclavable?
Polypropylene tolerates standard autoclave cycles (121°C). Confirm your centrifuge and rack ratings, and allow adaptors to cool fully before reloading.
How many adaptors come in each pack?
Each pack contains 6 adaptors. Both the 2.0 mL (GCC-P-ADP2) and 5 mL (GCC-P-ADP5) versions are sold in 6-each packs at $23.80 per pack.
Will these adaptors work in any centrifuge rotor?
They fit common large-bore rotor wells and racks, but bore diameter varies by manufacturer. Check your rotor's well dimensions against the tube size before use.
