MEDILAB Centrifuge Tubes with Round Bottom are high-clarity laboratory tubes designed to withstand high-speed centrifugation and rigorous daily use. These tubes provide dependable performance for sample separation, pelleting, storage, and analytical workflows. Engineered for precision and durability, they ensure consistent and contamination-free results in research, diagnostics, and quality-controlled environments.
Key Features
- High transparency for easy sample visualisation
- Strong construction suitable for speeds up to 50,000 × g
- Autoclavable (as applicable); ideal for sterile workflows
- Leak-proof sealing with compatible caps
- Chemically resistant to most laboratory reagents
- The round-bottom design ensures uniform sedimentation in centrifugation
- Smooth internal surface minimises sample retention
- Lightweight, shatter-resistant, and safe for routine handling
- Manufactured under strict quality controls to ensure batch consistency
Material Specifications
- Material: Polypropylene (PP) / Polycarbonate (PC) high-grade laboratory plastic
- Thermal Resistance: Suitable for autoclaving at 121°C (PP); PC tubes withstand autoclaving, but repeated cycles may reduce mechanical strength
- Chemical Resistance: Excellent resistance to most acids, alcohols, and organic solvents
- Mechanical Properties: High impact strength, superior clarity, and rigidity
- Compliance: Manufactured as per international laboratory plasticware standards (ISO / ASTM guidelines applicable to plastic centrifuge tubes)
Technical Specifications
- Available Capacities: As per the standard size table
- Design: Round-bottom profile for balanced centrifugation
- Dimensions: Standardised dimensions to fit universal centrifuge rotors
- Tolerance: Precision-moulded for consistent wall thickness and optimal performance
- Sterilisation: Available in sterile or non-sterile formats depending on customer requirements
- Accessories Included: Snap or screw caps, depending on model; optional plug-style caps available
Handling & Precautions
- Do not use the above-recommended centrifuge speed (50,000 × g)
- Avoid repeated autoclaving of PC tubes, as it may reduce their strength
- Ensure proper rotor compatibility before centrifugation
- Clean with mild laboratory detergents; avoid abrasive scrubbing
- Store away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures
- Do not use with highly reactive or aggressive chemicals beyond material tolerance
- Inspect tubes before use to ensure no cracks or deformation
Applications
- Suitable for research laboratories, pharmaceutical companies, biotech units, chemical industries, food & beverage QC labs, environmental testing labs, universities, and clinical diagnostics
- Used for centrifugation, sample preparation, sedimentation, phase separation, and pellet collection
- Ideal for microbiology, molecular biology, haematology, cell culture, and routine analytical workflows
- Supports reliable sample handling during storage, transport, and processing
