Description
Nalgene™ PPCO centrifuge bottles are round laboratory vessels designed for biopharmaceutical aseptic liquid transfers and sampling. Manufactured from translucent polypropylene copolymer (PPCO), each bottle offers a nominal capacity of 250 ml (0,25 l) and is supplied with a polypropylene screw closure. The three-sided flange supports secure handling during transfers. These bottles withstand centrifugal forces up to 13.200 × g, and up to 27.500 × g when used with a sealing closure unit. They are fully autoclavable, making them suitable for sterile workflows in research and production environments. Graduations are not present, and dispensing through the closure is not supported. Available from manufacturer Thermo Scientific – Laboratory Plastics in convenient multi-packs, the bottles combine chemical resistance with robust mechanical performance. Ideal for sample preparation, clarification and intermediate storage steps where reliable containment under high g-forces is required. The translucent material allows visual inspection of contents while maintaining the durability expected of PPCO labware.

Questions about Nalgene™ PPCO Centrifuge Bottles
What is this article?
Nalgene™ PPCO Centrifuge Bottles 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.
