Supplier:  Thermo Scientific™ 31480050

Catalog No. 05-579-33

Description

Carry out a variety of applications with these tubes, which combine the superior separation and pelleting of a conical tube with the higher sealing capability of an Oak Ridge tube. Thermo Scientific™ Nalgene™ Conical Oak Ridge Graduated Polypropylene Centrifuge Tubes can be used in a refrigerated or non-refrigerated centrifuge and can spin up to 10,000 x g with the supplied closure and up to 50,000 x g when equiped with a sealing cap (Cat. No. DS3132-0024), sold separately. Conical tube adapter required (Cat. No. DS3147-0050), sold separately.

Features:

• Feature silk-screened graduations from 5 to 35mL in 1mL increments
• Can withstand forces to 50,000 x g in refrigerated or non-refrigerated centrifuges—requires adapter DS3147-0050 and sealing cap DS3132-0024 both sold separately
• Supplied with polypropylene linerless closures for leakproof† performance up to 10,000 x g - requires adapter DS3147-0050
• Polypropylene copolymer tubes are translucent and offer better chemical resistance than polycarbonate; repeatedly autoclavable
• Tubes must be filled to at least 80% capacity for proper performance.
• Autoclavable/Biohazard/Graduated/Leakproof† when used with Nalgene closure

Ordering Information:

To assure leakproof service, especially at speeds greater than 10,000 x g or when spinning hazardous materials, use Nalgene sealing cap Cat. No. DS3132-0024.

Includes:

Supplied with linerless, polypropylene screw closure for leakproof† performance during ordinary use.

Requires:

White polycarbonate tube adapter (see DS3147-0050 below) to centrifuge.

Recycling Information:
Nalgene reusable polypropylene(PP) and polypropylene copolymer (PPCO) centrifuge tubes are designed to last many spins under typical laboratory conditions. Yet, as with all durable products, they need to be retired and replaced eventually. These centrifuge tubes are recyclable in many communities. At end of product life, please wash and recycle your Nalgene PP and PPCO centrifuge tubes if services are available in your community.

† The term “leakproof” applies to Thermo Scientific Nalgene products that meet the following criteria: a) Bottle/flask/funnel closure systems with closures smaller than 100mm, after they are filled with water, inverted, withstand air pressure of 2psig for 2 minutes, and no water escapes;. b) Bottle/funnel/flask closure systems of larger than 100mm after they are filled with water, inverted for 15 minutes, and no water escapes. Note: these tests, using other liquids, may not yield the same results. To ensure safe usage, customers are advised to test Thermo Scientific Nalgene bottles and closures under conditions of their planned applications. Thermo Scientific Nalgene products are leakproof at ambient temperature and pressure when used with their Nalgene closures.
