Rotor adapter
A disposable rotor adapter holds a QIAGEN spin column and a microcentrifuge tube in a
centrifuge bucket during sample processing. If required by the protocol, an additional column (e.g.,
QIAshredder column) can be placed in the middle position of the rotor adapter. For ease of use
and high process safety, the rotor adapters are designed so that they fit into a centrifuge bucket
only in the correct orientation. Spin-column and microcentrifuge tube lids are held securely in slots
at the edge of the rotor adapter.
The wash position of the rotor adapter is open at the bottom, enabling wash buffers to flow through
and collect at the bottom of the rotor adapter during centrifugation. The other two positions in the
rotor adapter are closed. Be sure to follow the loading instructions provided by the software.
