Description
Nalgene™ Oak Ridge polycarbonate centrifuge tubes for high-speed applications are robust, transparent tubes intended for demanding laboratory centrifugation. Each tube provides a 50 mL nominal capacity and a round-bottom profile that supports clear visual assessment of the sample during processing. Made from polycarbonate (PC) and fitted with polypropylene sealing screw caps, they are rated for use up to 50.000 × g, enabling high-speed separations where mechanical strength and content visibility both matter. The tubes are supplied non-sterile, without graduations and without a writing area, and they are autoclavable when thermal treatment of plasticware is required by the workflow. Packaging is arranged as 10 pieces per pack and 50 pieces per case, offering a practical bulk format for routine laboratory supply. These Oak Ridge tubes from manufacturer Thermo Scientific - Laboratory Plastics combine optical clarity with a sealing closure so operators can monitor contents easily while running elevated centrifugal forces. They suit research, analytical, and quality-control environments that need durable polycarbonate centrifuge tubes for high-speed work with straightforward sample observation.

Questions about Nalgene™ Oak Ridge High-Speed Polycarbonate Centrifuge Tubes w/Sealing
What is this article?
Nalgene™ Oak Ridge High-Speed Polycarbonate Centrifuge Tubes w/Sealing 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.
