Description
Nalgene™ Oak Ridge centrifuge tubes for high-speed applications, 50 ml, are round FEP tubes engineered for high-speed centrifugation of aggressive chemicals. The nominal capacity is 0,05 l (50 ml), and the tubes withstand forces up to 50 000 × g, making them suitable for demanding separations in research and analytical laboratories. Constructed from polyfluoroethylenepropylene (FEP) with an ETFE screw closure, they combine chemical resistance with a secure seal during high-speed runs. The design is round, without graduations or writing area, and the tubes are autoclavable for reuse after appropriate cleaning. Supplied from manufacturer Thermo Scientific - Laboratory Plastics, these Oak Ridge tubes address workflows involving harsh solvents and reagents where conventional plastics may be insufficient. They support high-speed pelleting, clarification and chemically aggressive sample handling while maintaining mechanical integrity under elevated relative centrifugal force. Pack size follows the stated unit quantity for straightforward laboratory stocking.
This article is part of Centrifuge tubes (conical), in Tubes & vials.

Questions about Nalgene™ Oak Ridge High-Speed Centrifuge Tubes, 50mL
What is this article?
Nalgene™ Oak Ridge High-Speed Centrifuge Tubes, 50mL 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.
