  • Chemical Resistance: Withstands mild acids, bases, alcohols, and aqueous solutions
  • Mechanical Strength: Impact-resistant, rigid, and built for high-speed centrifuges
  • Compliance: Manufactured in accordance with relevant ISO / ASTM plasticware standards

Technical Specifications

  • Available Capacities: Typically available in 10 mL, 30 mL, 50 mL, and custom capacities upon request
  • Design: Round-bottom, thick-walled construction for high g-force tolerance
  • Tolerance: Precision-engineered for consistent performance under high-speed rotation
  • Accessories Included: Leakproof screw cap,  Silicone O-Rings pre-fitted for secure sealing

 Handling & Precautions

  • Do not use below 4°C, as tube integrity may be affected
  • Ensure proper rotor compatibility before centrifugation
  • Avoid over-tightening caps to prevent thread damage
  • Clean using mild, non-abrasive lab detergents
  • Recommended to limit repeated autoclaving, especially for PC versions
  • Inspect tubes before use for cracks or deformation
  • Avoid exposure to aggressive solvents that exceed material compatibility

Applications

  • Research laboratories, universities, and academic institutions
  • Pharmaceutical R&D, biotech units, and industrial QC/QA labs
  • Clinical diagnostics, molecular biology, microbiology, and cell culture workflows

Ideal for:

  • High-speed centrifugation
