Description
A centrifuge tube round bottom is a type of laboratory container used for storage, centrifugation, and mixing of liquid samples. It is made of a plastic material, typically polypropylene (PP), and consists of a tube with a round bottom.
PP centrifuge tubes with round bottom are commonly used in the laboratory due to their durability, chemical resistance, and affordability. The round bottom shape makes them suitable for mixing and vortexing of samples, but not as effective for separating solid particles from liquid samples.
These tubes are also transparent, allowing for easy visualization of the contents. They come in different sizes and capacities, allowing for the processing of small or large volumes of liquid samples. They are equipped with screw caps or snap caps that provide a tight seal, preventing spills and leaks during sample handling.
PP centrifuge tubes with round bottom are widely used in molecular biology, biochemistry, and other life sciences applications for storing, mixing, and vortexing liquid samples. They are an essential piece of laboratory equipment for laboratory applications, providing a reliable and efficient solution for processing liquid samples.
