Centrifuge Plastic Tubes are essential tools in laboratory centrifugation procedures, providing a convenient and efficient way to process and separate samples. These tubes are constructed from high-quality plastics such as polypropylene or polyethylene, which are chemically resistant and compatible with a wide range of solvents and reagents used in biological and chemical applications.
The tubes are typically equipped with secure screw caps or snap-on lids to prevent sample leakage and ensure sample integrity during centrifugation. This sealing mechanism is essential for maintaining sample quality and preventing cross-contamination between samples.
Clear graduations on the tube sidewalls allow for accurate volume measurements and sample identification. This feature is particularly useful for tracking sample volumes and ensuring reproducibility in experimental procedures.
Centrifuge Plastic Tubes feature a conical bottom design, which facilitates efficient pellet formation during centrifugation. This design ensures that precipitated components are collected at the bottom of the tube, making it easy to retrieve the sample after centrifugation.
Some models of Centrifuge Plastic Tubes are autoclavable, allowing them to be sterilized using an autoclave for contamination-free sample processing. This feature is crucial for applications requiring sterile sample handling, such as cell culture and microbiology.
These tubes are compatible with various types of centrifuges, including microcentrifuges, tabletop centrifuges, and high-speed centrifuges, making them suitable for a wide range of laboratory centrifugation applications.
