The centrifuge tube is a common experimental consumable in the laboratory, mainly used in conjunction with centrifuges. The experimental liquid is placed in it and then centrifuged in a centrifuge.

According to the different materials, it can be divided into plastic and glass. Plastic centrifuge tubes are used more, and can be divided into PP, PC, PS, etc. According to different needs, manufacturers will choose different plastic materials for production.

According to its size, it is divided into 1.5ml, 2ml, 5ml, 10ml, 15ml, 50ml, etc. Domestic centrifuge tubes are generally these specifications, and more are used 10ml and 50ml. If your centrifuge is equipped with a 30ml or other size centrifuge tube, you should consider importing it. In addition, the centrifuge tube has a round bottom and a pointed bottom, as well as a screw cap and a cover. The screw cap of the screw cap has a finer scale, and the cap has only one overall capacity indication.

The centrifuge tubes commonly used in laboratories are plastic and glass. Generally, plastics are used more because the glass tubes cannot be used in high speed or ultracentrifuges. Plastic centrifuge tubes are available in PP (polypropylene), PC (polycarbonate), and PE (polyethylene). The performance of the pipe of PP is relatively good. The plastic centrifuge tube is transparent or translucent, so that the sample can be visually observed, but it is easy to deform, and the corrosion resistance against organic solvents is poor, so the service life is short. Therefore, centrifuges are often purchased in laboratories. Let's introduce each material separately. According to the different materials, it can be divided into plastic and glass. Plastic centrifuge tubes are used more, and can be divided into PP, PC, PS, etc. According to different needs, manufacturers will choose different plastic materials for production.
