Description
Nalgene™ PPCO centrifuge tubes with conical bottom are transparent laboratory tubes designed for straightforward volume measurement and reliable sample processing. Permanent molded-in graduations simplify readings, while the clear PPCO material provides excellent chemical resistance for everyday lab use. Each tube holds 15 mL and withstands a maximum force of 6000 x g, making the conical form well suited to pellet recovery after centrifugation. The tubes are autoclavable, supporting convenient sterilization and reuse in routine workflows. They feature no writing area and are supplied as a case of 100 pieces (10 per pack). These Nalgene™ tubes from manufacturer Thermo Scientific - Laboratory Plastics combine durable polypropylene copolymer construction with practical conical geometry for centrifugation, sample handling and general laboratory applications where chemical resistance and clear visibility matter. The pack is intended for high-throughput or multi-user environments requiring consistent, graduated conical tubes.
This article is part of Centrifuge tubes (conical), in Tubes & vials.

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