conical centrifuge tube
A conical centrifuge tube is a specialized laboratory vessel designed with a distinctive tapered bottom, making it an essential tool in various scientific applications. These tubes are manufactured from high-grade, chemical-resistant plastic materials, typically polypropylene or polyethylene, ensuring durability and reliability during centrifugation processes. The conical shape serves a crucial purpose by facilitating the concentration of particles at the tube's bottom during centrifugation, enabling efficient sample collection and separation. Available in various sizes ranging from 15ml to 50ml, these tubes feature graduated markings for precise volume measurements and leak-proof screw caps for sample security. The tubes are designed to withstand high centrifugal forces while maintaining structural integrity, with many models capable of handling speeds up to 15,000 RPM. Their transparency allows for easy visual inspection of samples, while their sterile options make them suitable for cell culture and other sensitive applications. The tubes' chemical resistance properties enable their use with various reagents and solutions, making them versatile tools in molecular biology, clinical diagnostics, and research laboratories.
