round bottom centrifuge tubes
Round bottom centrifuge tubes are essential laboratory equipment designed for separating substances through centrifugation. These specialized tubes feature a rounded bottom that enhances sample recovery and reduces material loss during centrifugation processes. Manufactured from high quality materials such as polypropylene or polystyrene, these tubes offer exceptional chemical resistance and durability. The rounded bottom design allows for efficient pellet formation and maximizes sample recovery by eliminating corners where material might get trapped. Available in various sizes ranging from 15ml to 50ml, these tubes can accommodate different sample volumes and centrifugation speeds. The tubes often feature graduated markings for accurate volume measurement and secure screw caps or snap caps to prevent sample leakage. Their design includes a conical bottom transition that aids in precise sample collection and minimizes sample loss. These tubes are commonly used in medical research, molecular biology, clinical diagnostics, and pharmaceutical development. They are particularly valuable in applications requiring cell culture, protein purification, DNA extraction, and blood component separation. The tubes maintain their structural integrity even under high centrifugal forces and can withstand repeated sterilization cycles, making them cost effective for long term laboratory use.
