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

Use & maintenance

  1. 01

    Loading

    Balance opposing positions by mass and follow filling limits for both tube and rotor.

  2. 02

    Spinning

    Inspect the tube and closure before applying the equipment acceleration programme.

  3. 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.
