Withstand temperatures from -135° to +135°C (-211° to +275°F)
Round bottom to fit high speed rotors
Can be used in refrigerated or non-refrigerated centrifuges
Comes with polypropylene linerless closures—easy to clean and provides leakproof† protection under normal conditions up to 10,000 x g
When equipped with a Nalgene sealing cap (sold separately), 30mL and 50mL tubes can be spun up to 50,000 x g
Autoclavable; Repeated autoclaving will reduce the life of PC centrifuge tubes
For leakproof performance >10,000 x g, use a sealing cap or sealing cap assembly (sold separately).
Ordering Information:
Optional sealing cap assemblies available for 30ml and 50ml sizes. Use Cat. No. DS3132-0020 for 30mL tube and Cat. No. DS3132-0024 for 50mL tube.
Notes:
Cat. Nos. 3118-0050 and -0085 are designed to fit universal rotors. Actual brim capacity of 3118-0050 is 42mL. Actual brim capacity of 3118-0085 is 81mL.
Repeated autoclaving will shorten the life of polycarbonate centrifuge tubes.
Must be filled to at least 80% total capacity for proper performance.
