The A5P17 5mL Adapter: Matching Tube Geometry to Automated Handlers

A5P17 (19500022)

Adapters like the A5P17 exist because automated liquid handlers accept a fixed plate or rack footprint, while blood collection tubes come in many dimensions. The A5P17 is specified for 13×75mm tubes, a common collection format.

The A5P17 lists a 5mL working volume and a 13×75mm tube fit. The adapter acts as a mechanical interface between that tube size and the deck of a liquid-handling platform.

The excerpt names three compatible systems: S4-50, S6-15, and A24-15P. Each designation appears to correspond to a rack or platform format, though the input does not confirm what each code represents.

Packing is listed at 24 pieces per pack. That count matters for labs calculating how many positions a single order will fill across a rack or workflow.

The listed model number, 19500022, is the primary purchasing identifier. Buyers should confirm that this number, not just the A5P17 label, matches the required adapter when reordering.

Compatibility claims in the listing are limited to the three named systems. Any other platform would require independent verification, since the input provides no further fitment data.

Documentation on materials, sterility, and autoclave tolerance is not provided. Labs with cleanliness or temperature requirements should request those details before committing to a volume order.

In consumables procurement, the adapter is often the least examined line item and the most common source of deck collisions or missed positions. A part number that maps cleanly to tube size and rack format is worth more than a broad compatibility claim.

Why it matters:
Confirm the model number, tube dimensions, and named platform codes before ordering, and ask the supplier for material and sterility documentation if the application requires it.
