Centrifuge Tubes

ClickSeal™ High-Capacity Graduated MicroCentrifuge Tubes

Volumes of 0.65 mL, 1.7 mL and 2.0 mL fit all popular microcentrifuge rotors. Writing surface on flat cap and side wall for quick sample ID. Unique side-gated mold design eliminates risk of glove or finger puncture caused by sharp bottom-gate protrusions on other tubes. Superior clarity and external graduations ensure accurate, reproducible lab results. Target syringe stands temperatures from +121°C to -80°C and an RCF of 17,000xg. Positive ClickSeal™ design allows repeated cap closures and eliminates pressure-induced popping of caps during incubation. All tubes available in natural polypropylene, in RainbowPacks of five transparent colors, or as packs of a single color. Tubes are also bagged and radiation sterilized in small RadPacks.

Corning® 15 mL Centrifuge Tubes

Corning® 15 mL clear polypropylene (PP) conical bottom centrifuge tubes have traditional polyethylene plug seal caps and are packed 50 per rack. This tube has successfully passed the 95kPa (14 psi) pressure test as referenced in IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations. Its recommended working temperature range is 0 to 40º C. The tubes are intended for single-use.

• Black printed graduations and a large white area for marking.
• Maximum RCF is 12,000 xg.
• Sterile, certified nonpyrogenic and DNase-/RNase-free

Corning® 50 mL Conical Centrifuge Tubes

These 50 mL clear polypropylene conical bottom centrifuge tubes have traditional polyethylene plug seal caps and are packed 25 per rack. This tube has successfully passed the 95kPa (14 psi) pressure test as referenced in IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations. Its recommended working temperature range is 0 to 40º C. The tubes are intended for single-use.

• Black printed graduations and a large white area for marking.
• Maximum RCF is 15,500 xg.
• Sterile, certified nonpyrogenic and DNase-/RNase-free

Nunc™ 15 mL Conical Centrifuge Tubes

These sterile polypropylene conical centrifuge tubes combine the better separation/pelleting capabilities of a conical tube with the superior sealing capabilities of Oak Ridge tubes. Tubes are translucent but contact clear for easy liquid viewing.

• Blue Polypropylene Screw Closure
• Graduated and autoclavable

Therapak 15 mL Centrifuge Tubes and Caps

• For General Purpose Centrifugation Applications
• Heavy-walled Construction
• Choose from Polypropylene or Polystyrene
• Graduated from 1-15 mL
• Overall Tube Size 17mm x 114mm

These 15 mL centrifuge tubes are primarily used for urinalysis procedures. Additional applications include Histology, Cytology, Ova or Parasite exams and sample storage. The conical bottom design allows for complete fluid measurements.

Clear Polystyrene 15 mL Tubes demonstrate good chemical resistance to aqueous solutions of mild bases and weak acids. However, polystyrene is not compatible with organic solvents, aromatic or chlorinated hydrocarbons, nor can it be autoclaved. With a rating of at least 1800 RCF, polystyrene tubes are recommended for use in most centrifuges at speeds to approximately 3600 RPM.

Translucent Polypropylene 15 mL Tubes, on the other hand, are virtually unbreakable, and can be autoclaved to 121 degrees Celsius. These tubes withstand at least 3000 RCF and 5000 RPM. At room temperature, polypropylene tubes will also contain most common acids, solvents and alkalies.

Traditional Plug-type Closures, made of polyethylene, form a leak-resistant, odor-proof seal which prevents evaporation or contamination of sample by airborne micro-organisms. Closures are offered in three convenient packages including zip-lock bags of 500, as well as more economical bulk bags of 1,000 and 5,000 per case.

15 ml 16 x 120 mm Centrifuge Tube

Made of sturdy polypropylene, this 15 ml centrifuge tube is graduated at every 1 ml and combines with the natural screw cap for safe and reliable transport and centrifugation.
