Description
Exchange block 12 x Falcon 15 ml is an interchangeable sample block configured to hold twelve standard 15 ml Falcon centrifuge tubes during controlled temperature mixing. It provides a secure seating geometry that keeps tubes upright and in close thermal contact with the heating surface of the instrument. Designed for the Thermomixer TS/TSK 100 platform, the block supports simultaneous incubation and orbital agitation of multiple medium-volume samples in a compact footprint. Laboratories can swap this format when workflows move between different vessel sizes, reducing change-over time on a shared thermos shaker. Offered as a single unit from manufacturer Zefa, the block integrates directly into existing TS/TSK 100 setups without extra adapters. Typical uses include thawing, enzymatic reactions, buffer incubations, pellet resuspension, hybridisation steps and gentle to vigorous mixing of cell suspensions or extraction mixtures prior to centrifugation or analysis. By matching the geometry of widely used 15 ml Falcon tubes, it helps maintain uniform heat distribution across all positions and stable tube retention throughout mixing cycles, supporting reproducible work in molecular biology, microbiology and analytical laboratories.

Questions about Exchange Block 12 x Falcon 15 ml for 12 Falcon tubes 15 ml fits Thermomixer
What is this article?
Exchange Block 12 x Falcon 15 ml for 12 Falcon tubes 15 ml fits Thermomixer is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Zefa 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.
