Centrifuge Tubes

Centrifuge tubes cover the everyday needs for sample storage and centrifugation in a lab. Made of high quality, clear polypropylene (PP), Capp tubes for centrifuge are also autoclavable. The recommended sterilization procedure for RLS autoclavable centrifuge tubes is 20 minutes at 121°C. RLS tubes for centrifuge are available in 2 volumes: 15 mL and 50 mL. The 50 mL version of RLS sterile centrifuge tubes is additionally available as skirted (self-standing) and non-skirted tube. RLS autoclavable centrifuge tubes have visible graduation marks and can withstand up to 16.000 RCF
Tubes are used in laboratory centrifuges, machines that spin samples in order to separate solids out of liquid chemical solutions. Tubes are essential items for the isolation, stratification or density-gradient separation of samples when using centrifuges and microcentrifuges. Plastic centrifuge tubes may be manufactured from polyethylene terephthalate, polypropylene, polypropylene copolymer, polycarbonate or polystyrene. Polypropylene and PPCO tubes are autoclavable and provide excellent chemical resistance combined with good mechanical strength. Polycarbonate, PET and polystyrene offer exceptional optical clarity and disposability. Plastic tubes are also manufactured in tinted versions to protect light-sensitive samples. Tubes, also called centrifuge tips, are placed within the centrifuge and spun at very high velocity for a set amount of time. They find multiple applications throughout biology (especially cell culture and microbiology), chemistry, clinical healthcare and the wider industrial environment. Tubes come in a range of shapes and styles, including round bases for general purpose applications, or conical bases to permit easier sample or pellet retrieval after spin-down. Others can be self-standing with a flat base. Tubes may also be graduated with a write-on patch for easy labelling and identification, and many intended for cell culture applications are supplied sterile.
• Length: The 15 ml tube dimensions are 17 mm x 120 mm long and The 50 ml tubes are 30 mm x 114 mm long
• Capacity: Tubes can be safely centrifuged to approximately 3,200 × g (50 mL size) Also 3,500 × g (15 mL size) depending on the specific gravity of the solution being centrifuged and the type of rotor
How to use centrifuge tube: Ensure all sample tubes are evenly filled. For each tube inserted in the rotor, add a tube of equal weight directly opposite it. Rotate the rotor 90° and add two additional tubes directly opposite one another. Repeat the process.
