A volume adapter for use in a B-XIV zonal rotor.
A simple adapter for reducing the chamber volume of B-XIV-type rotors is described. The adapter consists of a disk-like body, which occupies the lower part of the rotor chamber, and an aluminum sleeve with four septa. The modified rotor has a volume of 272 ml and has proved very suitable for rate-sedimentation analysis of small amounts of biological material. The modified rotor is operated as is a standard B-XIV rotor.
