MEDILAB Oak Ridge Centrifuge Tubes are high-performance, heavy-duty tubes designed for high-speed centrifugation and demanding laboratory workflows. These tubes ensure exceptional clarity, chemical resistance, and mechanical strength, making them ideal for pelleting, sample concentration, and high-g-force applications. Engineered for accuracy and leakproof operation, they are widely used across research, diagnostics, and industrial quality systems.
Key Features
- High contact clarity for easy monitoring of sample behavior
- Designed for high-speed centrifugation up to 50,000 × g
- Screw caps fitted with silicone O-Ring for secure, leakproof sealing
- Round-bottom design for balanced centrifugation
- Excellent chemical resistance against common laboratory reagents
- Durable construction ensures long life and stable performance
- Suitable for cold-room use; stable at low temperatures above 4°C
- Smooth internal surface minimizes sample adhesion
- Manufactured with precision molds for uniform wall thickness
Material Specifications
- Material: High-grade Polypropylene (PP) / Polycarbonate (PC)
- Thermal Properties: PP: Autoclavable at 121°C; PC: Autoclavable; however, repeated autoclaving may reduce mechanical strength
- 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
- Sample concentration and pelleting
- Phase separation and density-gradient applications
- Storage and handling of sensitive biological or chemical samples
