Centrifuge tube 50 ml 100 PCS

Product details

A 50 mL centrifuge tube (often referred to as a 50 mL conical tube) is a commonly used laboratory equipment item designed for holding and processing samples during centrifugation. These tubes are typically made from durable plastic, such as polypropylene (PP), which allows them to withstand the high g-forces applied during centrifugation. A pack of 100 indicates that this item is sold in bulk, with 100 individual 50 mL centrifuge tubes in one package.Key Features of 50 mL Centrifuge Tubes:1.Volume Capacity: The primary feature is its capacity to hold 50 millilitres of liquid. This size is ideal for sample volumes commonly encountered in biochemical, molecular biology, and clinical laboratories.2.Material: Polypropylene (PP) is the most common material used for these tubes because it is highly resistant to chemicals and can withstand freezing temperatures, which is often necessary for sample storage.3.Conical Shape: The tube is typically designed with a conical bottom to facilitate the collection of the sample at the lowest point when the tube is centrifuged. This ensures that the contents can be easily retrieved without loss during the process.4.Graduations: Most 50 mL centrifuge tubes are marked with graduated measurement lines along the side to allow users to accurately measure the volume of liquid inside the tube. These graduations are typically marked in 1 mL increments, providing precision in the sample handling.5.Autoclavable: Most 50 mL centrifuge tubes made from polypropylene are autoclavable (able to be sterilized by autoclaving). This is important for applications in microbiology and molecular biology, where sterility is crucial.Chemical Resistance: Centrifuge tubes are resistant to many acids, alkalis, and other chemicals, allowing them to be used in a wide range of laboratory applications without degrading or becoming brittle
