Description
Centrifuge tubes with a conical bottom in polypropylene (PP) deliver a 16 ml working volume at a height of 120 mm for everyday laboratory centrifugation tasks. The conical geometry gathers sediment and small residual volumes toward the tip, which assists clean decanting and pellet handling after spinning. PP material keeps the tubes light and resistant to breakage compared with glass, while remaining appropriate for many standard laboratory liquids. Packed as 500 pc(s) from manufacturer Kartell, the set supports continuous use on busy benches, teaching labs and production-adjacent QC stations. Pack weight is given as 3,500 kg, useful for warehouse and shipping documentation. With clearly defined capacity (16 ml) and height (120 mm), these conical PP centrifuge tubes can be matched to compatible rotors, buckets and storage racks without guesswork. They fit sample preparation, clarification and short-term holding steps where a slightly larger conical tube than the smallest formats is preferred. A reliable consumable choice for inventories built around centrifuge-compatible plastic vessels.
This article is part of Centrifuge tubes (conical), in Tubes & vials.

Questions about Centrifuge tubes, Conical bottom, PP, height 120 mm, 16 ml, 500 unit(s)
What is this article?
Centrifuge tubes, Conical bottom, PP, height 120 mm, 16 ml, 500 unit(s) is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Kartell for laboratory use. It sits in Centrifuge tubes (conical), inside Tubes & vials, in Labware.
A centrifuge tube is conical so a pellet collects at the tip, and it is rated for a relative centrifugal force. A 15 mL tube and a 50 mL tube are different rotors. Polypropylene is the ordinary plastic. The cap has to survive the same force as the tube.
A tube holds a small sample upright. A test tube is the open glass or plastic cylinder. A centrifuge tube is conical so a pellet forms at the tip, and it is rated for a centrifugal force the rotor will actually reach. A vial is a small closed bottle, often for a sample that will sit in an instrument. NMR tubes are a special case: the glass has to be uniform or the spectrum is the tube, not the sample. Laboratory ware is listed under ISO laboratory glassware.
