Overview:

When using the same centrifuge with two rotors of the same type but different capacities, you can consider placing an adapter in the larger-capacity tube holes to make them suitable for smaller-capacity tubes.

Laboratory centrifuges typically come equipped with multiple rotors of varying capacities.

When using the same centrifuge to accommodate two rotors of the same type but different capacities, you can consider placing an adapter in the larger-capacity tube holes to make them suitable for smaller-capacity tubes. This way, you only need to equip the centrifuge with the larger-capacity rotor and a set of adapters—no need to disassemble and reassemble the rotor each time. Not only does this simplify the procedure when switching rotors, but it also helps reduce experimental costs, since the price of a set of adapters is significantly lower than that of a single rotor.
