How to identify the quality of the centrifuge tube?

There are many types of modern laboratory consumables. However, the most familiar and frequently used consumables may be those pipe consumables. For example, a centrifuge tube, which is a common experimental consumable in the laboratory, is mainly used in conjunction with a centrifuge, that is, the experimental liquid is placed in a centrifuge tube and then centrifuged in the centrifuge. Therefore, for the consumables used in the laboratory every day, it is very important to be able to quickly identify which centrifuge tube is of high quality or inferior quality.

Plastic Centrifuge Tube

First, let's understand the classification of centrifuge tubes.
According to their different material properties, they can be divided into two categories: glass centrifuge tubes and plastic centrifuge tubes. Among them, plastic centrifuge tubes can be subdivided into PP, PC, PS, etc. According to different needs, manufacturers will choose different plastic materials for production.
Secondly, we can divide it according to the capacity specifications of the centrifuge tube.
Generally, the capacity of the centrifuge tube is divided into 0.5ml, 1.5ml, 2ml, 5ml, 10ml, 15ml, 50ml, etc. Among them, the more commonly used ones are Centrifuge Tube 2ml and Centrifuge Tube 50ml, which are mainly based on the type of centrifuge used. To choose an adaptation.
Finally, according to the shape, the centrifuge tube can be divided into round bottom and pointed bottom, as well as screw cap and plug-in cap.
The screw cap centrifuge tube has a fine scale, and the plug cap has only an overall capacity indicator. For example, the centrifuge tube series of Yongyue Medical: 10ML-50ML sampling screw cap, 0.5ML-5ML sampling conjoined cap.


Centrifuge Tubes


Centrifuge tubes commonly used in laboratories are plastic and glass. Generally, plastics are used more, because glass centrifuge tubes cannot be used in high-speed or ultra-speed centrifuges. Plastic centrifuge tubes are made of PP (polypropylene), PC (polycarbonate), PE (polyethylene) and other materials. The performance of PP tubes is relatively good. The plastic centrifuge tube is transparent or translucent, and you can visually see the centrifugation of the sample, but it is relatively easy to deform and has poor resistance to organic solvents, so it has a short service life. Therefore, laboratories need to buy centrifuge tubes frequently. Here is a brief description for the preferred PP material.
PP (polypropylene): translucent, with good chemical and temperature stability, but it will become brittle at low temperatures, so it should not be below 4°C during centrifugation.
The centrifuge tube products of Yongyue Medical are made of medical grade PP material, which meets the USP VI level, and can be autoclaved at high temperature (120℃). The products are produced in a 100,000-level purification workshop without DNase, RNase, and internal Toxin contamination.
