Description
Nalgene™ Oak Ridge polycarbonate centrifuge tubes are high-strength round-bottom tubes engineered for high-speed centrifugation applications up to 50 000 × g. Manufactured from polycarbonate (PC) with a nominal volume of 0,01 l, these tubes combine excellent mechanical durability with chemical resistance suitable for demanding laboratory protocols. Screw-cap closures made of polypropylene (PP) are included, ensuring secure sealing during high-g runs; the tubes are autoclavable and supplied without graduations or writing area. Packaged as 10 pieces per pack and 100 pieces per carton (case of 100), they support efficient stock management in busy centrifugation suites. Available from manufacturer Thermo Scientific - Laboratory Plastics, the Oak Ridge design is recognised for reliable performance across a variety of high-speed separation workflows. The round form factor and robust polycarbonate construction make them appropriate for pelleting, density-gradient work and other procedures requiring mechanical integrity under extreme centrifugal force. Gross weight of the unit is 0,750 kg.
This article is part of Centrifuge tubes (conical), in Tubes & vials.

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.
