A6-5VP Rotor: Reading a Benchtop Centrifuge Accessory as a Procurement Item

A6-5VP（19400156）

In shared laboratory settings, centrifuges are often bought as a base unit while the rotor portfolio is decided separately. That split makes accessories like the A6-5VP a distinct line item, with its own specifications and fit constraints.

The listed use is the D2012S centrifuge. Maximum speed is stated at 15000rpm, with a maximum RCF of 16520×g. Together these describe the upper operating envelope the rotor is rated for.

Capacity is given as 6×5mL plus 6×0.5mL, a mixed-format arrangement. Sample throughput and tube format therefore shape whether this rotor suits a workflow, rather than the rotor defining the protocol.

The rotor material is stated as high strength nylon. The listed model number is 19400156, which is the identifier a buyer would use when checking availability or ordering a replacement.

Procurement should confirm the rotor matches the D2012S already on site, and check that tube dimensions, adapters, and sealing requirements fit the intended application. Documentation on maximum rating and inspection intervals should be requested rather than assumed.

For multi-instrument labs, verifying rotor-to-centrifuge compatibility before purchase avoids a spare that cannot be used. It also clarifies whether the capacity suits routine runs or only occasional low-volume work.

Where specifications are this compact, the sensible reading is narrow: a defined rotor for a defined centrifuge. Buyers should treat unlisted details as open questions for the supplier.

Why it matters:
Rotor choice quietly sets the limits of a centrifuge workflow. Confirming compatibility and capacity before ordering prevents a costly mismatch.
