Oak Ridge Centrifuge Tubes

GISCOM Oak Ridge Centrifuge Tubes are high-performance, heavy-duty tubes designed for high-speed centrifugation and demanding laboratory workflows. These tubes ensure exceptional clarity, chemical resistance, and mechanical strength, making them ideal for pelleting, sample concentration, and high-g-force applications. Engineered for accuracy and leakproof operation, they are widely used across research, diagnostics, and industrial quality systems.

Key Features

• High contact clarity for easy monitoring of sample behavior
• Designed for high-speed centrifugation up to 50,000 × g
• Screw caps fitted with silicone O-Ring for secure, leakproof sealing
• Round-bottom design for balanced centrifugation
• Excellent chemical resistance against common laboratory reagents
• Durable construction ensures long life and stable performance
• Suitable for cold-room use; stable at low temperatures above 4°C
• Smooth internal surface minimizes sample adhesion
• Manufactured with precision molds for uniform wall thickness

Material Specifications

• Material: High-grade Polypropylene (PP) / Polycarbonate (PC)
• Thermal Properties: PP: Autoclavable at 121°C; PC: Autoclavable; however, repeated autoclaving may reduce mechanical strength
• Chemical Resistance: Withstands mild acids, bases, alcohols, and aqueous solutions
• Mechanical Strength: Impact-resistant, rigid, and built for high-speed centrifuges
• Compliance: Manufactured in accordance with relevant ISO / ASTM plasticware standards

Technical Specifications

• Available Capacities: Typically available in 10 mL, 30 mL, 50 mL, and custom capacities upon request
• Design: Round-bottom, thick-walled construction for high g-force tolerance
• Tolerance: Precision-engineered for consistent performance under high-speed rotation
• Accessories Included: Leakproof screw cap,  Silicone O-Rings pre-fitted for secure sealing

 Handling & Precautions

• Do not use below 4°C, as tube integrity may be affected
• Ensure proper rotor compatibility before centrifugation
• Avoid over-tightening caps to prevent thread damage
• Clean using mild, non-abrasive lab detergents
• Recommended to limit repeated autoclaving, especially for PC versions
• Inspect tubes before use for cracks or deformation
• Avoid exposure to aggressive solvents that exceed material compatibility

Applications

• Research laboratories, universities, and academic institutions
• Pharmaceutical R&D, biotech units, and industrial QC/QA labs
• Clinical diagnostics, molecular biology, microbiology, and cell culture workflows

Ideal for:

• High-speed centrifugation
• Sample concentration and pelleting
• Phase separation and density-gradient applications
• Storage and handling of sensitive biological or chemical samples
