A new, extended range of sterile polypropylene centrifuge tubes offers increased speed capability of up to 12,000 x g. Posted on 22 Nov 2010
The standard range of centrifuge tubes is manufactured from high clarity polypropylene to ensure transparency and chemical resistance. Available in 15 mL or 50 mL volumes, they have clearly printed graduations and a writing panel for ease of use. Both volumes are available with a conical base, which offers a high relative centrifugal force (rcf) value of 12,000 x g, but the 50 mL standard tube is also available as a self standing, flat-bottomed tube, which offers an rcf value of 6,000 x g.

Sterilin (Bargoed, UK) launched the new, extended range of sterile polypropylene centrifuge tubes, which includes DNase, RNase, and human DNA-free tube options.
The standard range is suitable for a wide range of general laboratory applications and the premium range, which is certified free from DNase/RNase/human DNA and nonpyrogenic to 0.5 EU/mL, is ideal for the requirements of clinical and molecular biology laboratories. The tubes are supplied in cases of 500 tubes, containing resealable inner packs of 25 for convenient and secure storage of unused tubes. Alternatively, the conical based tubes can be supplied in recyclable cardboard racks, which offer upright support and can be recycled with regular paper and cardboard waste.
