Description
Nalgene™ Oak Ridge polycarbonate centrifuge tubes for high-speed applications are high-strength laboratory vessels engineered for demanding centrifugation tasks. Fabricated from polycarbonate (PC), they offer excellent mechanical durability that supports a wide variety of high-speed procedures at relative centrifugal forces up to 50000 × g. The round form is suited to standard separation workflows and sample handling after the run. Each tube is supplied with a polypropylene (PP) screw closure with screw-thread design for secure sealing under load. The tubes are autoclavable, facilitating sterilization between uses, and feature neither graduations nor a writing area, giving a plain exterior preferred in many laboratory protocols. Nominal volume is 0,03 l. Packaging comprises 10 tubes per pack and 100 tubes per case, matching routine laboratory stocking needs. These Nalgene™ Oak Ridge centrifuge tubes from manufacturer Thermo Scientific combine robust polycarbonate construction with practical handling characteristics for research, analytical and process laboratories that require reliable plasticware for high-speed centrifugation.

Questions about Nalgene™ Oak Ridge High-Speed Polycarbonate Centrifuge Tubes
What is this article?
Nalgene™ Oak Ridge High-Speed Polycarbonate Centrifuge Tubes is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Thermo Scientific - Laboratory Plastics 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.
