Questions about Centrifuge tubes (conical)

15 ml or 50 ml centrifuge tube?

Pick the smallest tube that holds your sample with some headspace. 15 ml tubes suit cell pellets, small extractions and aliquots; 50 ml tubes suit larger cultures, media and sample prep. Bulk examples: the 15 ml PP tube with conical bottom, 17 × 120 mm, 1000 pieces, and the 50 ml PP tube, 30 × 115 mm, 500 pieces. When you need sterile tubes, the Conical Tubes 50 ml, PP, sterile, 480 pieces are ready to use. Check that your rotor adapters take the format.

What g-force can a centrifuge tube take?

Each tube has its own maximum RCF, and you should stay below it and below the limit of your rotor and adapters. Standard conical tubes are made for routine runs; for high-speed work choose a tube rated for it. The Oak Ridge high-speed PPCO tube with sealing cap is rated up to 100,605 × g and is autoclavable, sold per case of 50 pieces. When a tube has no RCF value in its product data, ask us before you run it at high speed: sales@luminixhealth.com.

When do I need sterile tubes?

Use sterile tubes whenever the sample must stay free of microorganisms: cell culture, microbiology, clinical samples and molecular work. For chemistry and general sample storage, non-sterile tubes are usually enough. The Conical Tubes 50 ml are supplied sterile, 480 pieces. For cultures that need gas exchange while shaking, the TubeSpin bioreactor tube, 50 ml, has a filter screw cap, 180 pieces. If a product page does not state sterility, treat the tube as non-sterile. Browse centrifuge tubes.

Which rack fits my tubes?

Match the rack to the tube diameter and to where it will stand. A bench rack holds tubes upright for filling and labelling. A shaker rack clamps tubes into a shaker or incubator platform and is made for that model. The rack for 35 tubes of 15 ml and the rack for 12 tubes of 50 ml are designed for small incubation shakers, so check your shaker first. Bench racks are in test tube racks. Not sure?

Why Centrifuge tubes (conical)?

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.
