Construction & operating principle
A centrifuge tube holds a sample under rotational loading and uses its base geometry to help collect a pellet. The tube, cap and rotor adapter work together mechanically. Nominal capacity does not mean the tube can be filled completely at any speed. Selection should consider relative centrifugal force, temperature and sample density, because rotational speed alone is not transferable between rotors.
Typical uses
- Sedimentation of cells or particles
- Aliquoting reaction mixtures for processing
- Pellet washing and supernatant recovery
Compare product approaches
| Selection factor | What to compare |
|---|---|
| Rotor fit | The body and base need appropriate support; incorrect adapters can concentrate stress. |
| Centrifugation conditions | Compare permitted relative force and temperature; RPM is meaningful only with rotor radius. |
| Material and closure | Volatile samples, cold processing and chemical exposure place different demands on the tube. |
Selection information to confirm
| Category | Sample Preparation |
|---|---|
| Material options | Polymer |
| Filtration objective | Define what to remove and what to retain |
| Rating / Dimensions | Confirm combinations against controlled model specifications |
| Flow / Temperature / Pressure | Specify normal and limiting operating conditions |
| Connections / Seals | Confirm installation interfaces and wetted materials |
| Cleaning / Validation | Confirm the service cycle and acceptance criteria |
These are selection inputs, not verified performance claims for a specific model.

- 01
Loading
Balance opposing positions by mass and follow filling limits for both tube and rotor.
- 02
Spinning
Inspect the tube and closure before applying the equipment acceleration programme.
- 03
Recovery
Avoid disturbing the pellet and distinguish approximate graduations from calibrated volume measurement.
Product questions
Does identical RPM give identical separation?
No. Rotor radius changes force, while time and sample properties also matter.
Is a leak-free tube safe for repeated use?
Damage and ageing may be inconspicuous; reuse must fit the product specification and method.
