Description
Nalgene™ conical centrifuge tubes made of polycarbonate are designed for cell separations and routine centrifugation work. These polycarbonate (PC) tubes have a conical bottom, a nominal capacity of 15 ml and permanent graduations for clear volume reference. They tolerate a maximum force of 6000 xG and are autoclavable, supporting repeated laboratory use. The conical geometry aids pellet recovery after spinning while the transparent polycarbonate material allows visual inspection of samples. Packaged as a case of 100 tubes with 10 pieces per inner pack, the format suits high-throughput cell-culture and separation workflows. These Nalgene™ PC centrifuge tubes from manufacturer Thermo Scientific provide mechanical strength and chemical resistance typical of laboratory polycarbonate vessels. With no writing area on the tube wall, the design concentrates on core centrifugation performance. Gross case weight is 1,571 kg. The tubes are intended for research and clinical laboratories that require robust, reusable conical vessels for cell isolation, sample clarification and related techniques.
This article is part of Centrifuge tubes (conical), in Tubes & vials.

Questions about Nalgene™ PC Conical-Bottom Centrifuge Tubes
What is this article?
Nalgene™ PC Conical-Bottom 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.
