A brief introduction to Centrifuge Tube and Rack

Centrifuge tubes can be stored in a convenient rack that is designed to hold them without causing a mess. This polypropylene rack is able to hold a variety of tubes from 16mm to 30mm in diameter. Its moulded indexing makes it easy to find the right tube. The rack also features an adaptable design, which opens and closes easily.

Centrifuge tubes come in two different styles: conical and flat. Conical tubes are made from premium polypropylene and are sterile. Autoclavable tubes are available as well as ones that can be frozen to -45 degC. Conical tubes have a flat top surface that makes them easy to mark. Free Standing tubes are made with a skirted bottom and can be stored on a rack without a separate test tube rack.

Centrifuges are ideal for many applications. They can be used for HPLC, PCR, and microfilter cell separation. They are designed for 20-second spins and feature a tool-free quick-change rotor system. They also offer a compact footprint and are silent.

Microcentrifuge tubes can be stored in a polypropylene rack. The rack features a handle that is 5 1/8" long and a 3 1/2 inch diameter. The rack can accommodate up to 16 tubes in two rows. One row holds up to four 50 ml tubes while the second row holds up to eight 15 ml tubes.
