Laboratory Consumables Disposable Centrifuge Tube

Plastic centrifuge tubes can be selected from PET, polypropylene, PPCO, polycarbonate or polystyrene. Polypropylene and PPCO centrifuge tubes are autoclavable and provide excellent chemical resistance and good mechanical strength. Polycarbonate, PET, and polystyrene centrifuge tubes provide excellent optical clarity and single-use. Plastic centrifuge tubes are also available in a colored version to protect photosensitive samples. Plastic centrifuge tubes are commonly used in laboratories. Since glass centrifuge tubes cannot be used in high-speed or ultra-high-speed centrifugates, plastic centrifuge tubes are generally used more. Scientists often use centrifuge tubes to separate solids, liquids and gases. You can separate solid particles from liquids, like plasma and blood cells. You can do this by spinning the centrifuge tube that carries the material at high speed. The centrifuge tube allows centrifugal force to push heavier material to the bottom of the tube. The centrifuge tube facilitates the preservation of samples to be separated by centrifugation. Researchers used different types of centrifuge tubes for different tasks and procedures. Centrifuge tubes have a variety of applications in biology, particularly cell culture and microbiology, chemistry, clinical healthcare and wider industrial Settings.
