Description
Oak-Ridge centrifuge tubes are polycarbonate (PC) tubes with leak-tight closures and a 16 ml volume for laboratory centrifugation tasks. This Oak-Ridge style supports sealed processing of liquid samples when operators need a sturdy transparent tube and a closure designed to reduce leakage risk during high-speed runs. Polycarbonate provides good visibility of contents and mechanical resilience for centrifugation, transfer and short-term holding steps common in research and quality-control laboratories. The pack includes 10 pieces with a total weight of 0,220 kg, enabling multi-sample series and straightforward inventory management. Applications span clarification, pelleting and intermediate sample handling in biochemistry, life-science and general analytical workflows that call for mid-range tube volumes under sealed conditions. Available from manufacturer Nalgene, the tubes fit established centrifuge-tube practices that specify leak-tight caps for safer movement between instruments and work areas. The 16 ml capacity offers additional working volume compared with smaller formats while remaining practical for standard rotors and benches, helping laboratories keep volume, sealing and material choices consistent across routine separation protocols.

Questions about Oak-Ridge centrifuge tubes, PC, with leak-tight closure, vol. 16 ml, 10 unit(s)
What is this article?
Oak-Ridge centrifuge tubes, PC, with leak-tight closure, vol. 16 ml, 10 unit(s) is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Nalgene for laboratory use. It sits in Screw caps & closures, inside Stoppers, caps & closures, in Labware.
A screw cap has a thread and a liner. The thread has to match the bottle. The liner has to survive the liquid: a pulp liner fails in a solvent that a PTFE-faced liner ignores. The colour of the cap is not the specification.
A closure is the part that decides whether a bottle stays shut and whether the contents attack the seal. A ground-glass stopper matches a ground neck. A screw cap needs the right thread and a liner that survives the liquid. Rubber and silicone stoppers push into a mouth. The liner, not the colour of the cap, is the chemical choice. The vessels they close are indexed under ISO laboratory glassware.
