Centrifuge Tubes
Glass and plastic tubes designed for use in centrifuges; available in a variety of volume capacities, materials, configurations, RCF ratings, and closure types; may be sterile or non-sterile; may have graduations indicating volume on the tube.
Centrifuge tubes are used to contain liquids during centrifugation, which separates the sample into its components by rapidly rotating it around a fixed axis.
Most centrifuge tubes have conical bottoms, which help collect any solid or heavier parts of the sample being centrifuged. Centrifuge tubes must also be able to withstand the centrifugal pressure created during their use, and their specifications may indicate the maximum speed at which they can be safely used.
Centrifuge tubes are available in various styles, sizes, and materials
- Capacities: Range from 0.1mL to more than 100mL; the most common sizes are 15mL and 50mL (centrifuge) and 1mL and 2mL (microcentrifuge)
- Closures: Screw-on plugged or flat caps; may be attached or separate
- Markings: May have writing areas, graduations, or other markings
- Shape: Conical- or round-bottomed; if conical, choose skirted free-standing versions
- Material: Glass or plastic resin; the latter include polypropylene, polystyrene, PET, and PPCO
- Sterility: Sterile or nonsterile; may be heat- or gas-sterilized
- Packaging: Bulk or racked tubes
- Color: Choose amber or black plastics for light-sensitive samples

Research Products International Corp Tamper Evident Micro-Tubes, Non-Sterile, Free Standing, 1.5 ml, 1000 per Case
Unique micro-centrifuge tube features a tamper evident closure system. Simply attach cap to tube and the sealing ring is automatically in place. When the cap is loosened, the ring detaches to clearly indicate the tube was opened. Ideal for use in boiling, centrifuging and freezer storage applications. Cap has an O-ring seal that provides a leak proof fit. Tubes withstand centrifugation to 17,000g and can be autoclaved.
Electron Microscopy Sciences CONICALCNTRFGE TBE 15ML
EzFlip Conical Centrifuge tubes offers a safer alternative to screw cap tubes. A patented closure system improves ergonomics and versatility. An improved tube and cap design increases mechanical strength to withstand aggressive centrifugal forces. The 15 ml tube's maximum relative centrifugal force (RCF) is 8,500 x g, and the 50 ml tube's maximum RCF is 9,500 x g. Tubes are graduated and feature a writing area.
