Description
Nalgene™ PPCO round-bottom centrifuge tubes for high-speed applications are polypropylene copolymer (PPCO) tubes built with uniform wall thickness and diameter so they seat more reliably in rotors and deliver consistent performance under load. With a nominal volume of 0,038 l, the round-bottom design supports demanding separations at forces up to 50.000 x g. The tubes are autoclavable, without graduations and without a writing area, keeping the wall geometry even for high-speed work. Each unit is supplied as a case of 100 pieces (10 per pack), giving laboratories a practical stock format for routine and specialized centrifugation. Made from PPCO, they combine chemical resistance with mechanical strength during high-speed runs. These centrifuge tubes from manufacturer Thermo Scientific - Laboratory Plastics suit research and analytical workflows where rotor fit, structural uniformity and repeatable high-g performance are essential. Categories such as centrifuge tubes and related labware applications benefit from the stable round profile and autoclavable PPCO construction for repeated laboratory use.
This article is part of Centrifuge tubes (conical), in Tubes & vials.

Questions about Nalgene™ High-Speed Round-Bottom PPCO Centrifuge Tubes
What is this article?
Nalgene™ High-Speed Round-Bottom PPCO 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.
Which category should I open next?
