Description
Nalgene™ PPCO centrifuge tubes with conical bottom simplify volume reading and sample recovery in routine centrifugation. Each transparent 50 mL tube is made from PPCO with excellent chemical resistance and features permanent molded-in graduations for straightforward measurement. The conical design supports efficient pelleting and is rated to a maximum force of 6000 × g. Tubes are autoclavable, enabling reuse protocols where laboratory practice allows, and are supplied without a writing area for a clean graduated surface. Offered by manufacturer Thermo Scientific as a case of 100 pieces (typically 10 per pack), these conical centrifuge tubes suit general sample preparation, clarification and separation work across chemistry and life-science benches. Clear PPCO construction aids visual inspection of contents while the molded scale reduces reliance on external marking during multi-step workflows that demand durable, chemically resistant 50 mL conical tubes.
This article is part of Centrifuge tubes (conical), in Tubes & vials.

Questions about Nalgene™ PPCO Conical-Bottom Centrifuge Tubes
What is this article?
Nalgene™ PPCO Conical-Bottom Centrifuge Tubes 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.
